How well does the microphone work? On earlier version, mic is terrible. Siri does not understand commands. Phone conversations are bad.

How Siri responds may depend on your phone or vocal accent, according to a friend who has a regional accent. My LG 800 microphone works great for phone conversations. Siri works very good also. The only problem I have is the LG automatically defaults to last number recall when first connecting until I place a call using the IPhone voice command via the actual IPhone. After the first voice command using the phone, the LG wireless works fine for all other commands.

This is a little better as it has noise canceling however I still had some difficulty using Siri

To be honest, I don't use a lot of voice commands, so I can not give you an good answer, just use the mic for conversations while I'm driving and works fine...

Still have issues with voice commands. It's hit or miss. For phone conversations, I'm told it's very clear and when you activate the ANC function, it works even better.

to the person that mentioned their sound card.... i don't know what kind of mac you have but i 've been having this problem with headsets and my g5 late 2005 for some reason macs don't always support the mic on pc compatible headsets etc so i was told by mac support to either buy an imic that would convert the mic and sound plugs into a usb headset or better yet to go to the website for mac dictate or the software that mac made previously to recognize voice and buy one of their certified mics at least then you know that it will work with other mac applications that really do need a sensitive mic. I hope it helped i just had the problem and am again trying to solve it now that i have rosetta. I tried the imic and it still didn't work but i could have bought a better headset to go with the imic and maybe that would have worked.

Jawbone Voice Control app activates Siri! In fact, I just took it for a test drive and it works great! You can dial contacts, yes, but also do everything else that Siri can normally do!

I have noted similar issues. The mic wont record anything for some days, but the earbuds and/or bluetooth headsets work... then, out of the sudden, the mic works for some hours, then it dies again. This, among others, is the reason I believe nobody should buy this item again, It is not what the merchant promises, I takes too long to arrive and costs 100 bucks. Finally you will got a crappy small tablet (because the phone isn't reliable) with a mix of an old version of android (2.1 or above) with some features coming from 4.1. Also, very low ram. You will do better buying other phone, or, for tablet, an Amazon Fire HD 6 for less the price and less te headaches and time.

It is a great machine, not only you can connect it to your iPhone, but it also works with your PC, iPad, etc. The microphone are not so good, you probably need to replace them after a short time. In general, it is the best of all.

Hi..sorry for the delay. I'd never tried to use Siri with my headset. I can confirm Siri can be activated from the headset. I still haven't found anything better and more useful than these headsets for phone, intercom and TV watching/listening.

I use it with iPhone. So I can answer calls or use Siri voice commands (which I don't ). But I do use it for phone conversations a lot.

Almost all the controls work on Android... I haven't tested the microphone function yet, but the pause/play/next button (one button with a series of taps skips or pauses, etc) work fine. However, the volume control does not. Easy enough to get to used to, still would have been nice to see the same capability across Android as well...

I did not buy the one with the mic.....but, there is nothing specific to apple devices about the mic that would prevent it from working....if you want further clarification, go to bose.com and get there 800#. they are really cool and will clarify no problem.

I have this same problem. Basically, the microphone on this phone doesn't pick up my voice well enough and the person on the other end has to keep saying "what?". I am returning the phone. I tried 2 different ones and both were the same. Otherwise, I loved the phone. I also tried this side by side with other cordless phones and the difference is significant. Panasonic tech support could not help fix the problem.

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Does NOT work well with iPhone, November 12, 2007 By cafehenri "cafehenri" (New York) - See all my reviews If you are like me, looking for a headset that lets you control your iPhone, listen to music, and answer calls without taking the iPhone out of your pocket, this is NOT it. I am sure this is a great headset with other devices, but NOT with iPhone. It pairs to the phone, but not the ipod on the phone. I found out after buying this product that it's because Apple's bluetooth support is pretty weak. When pair with a Macbook Pro, everything is in mono (not stereo, wow, amazing Apple support of bluetooth). From reading online I found out it's not the issue with this phone, but Apple's lack of support for wider bluetooth products, but still, I wish the product description would have said "doesn't work well with iPhone at all."

Best thing to do is download the manual. I'm not happy with the built-in microphone.

I have only used the Mic with the Android APP (provided by Loftek too). It does not work very well, it's to sensitive to background noise and I have not been able to adjust it's sensibility. For IE and Google Chrome audio does not seem to work at all.

When it worked it only worked with Skype. It's called a Skype Phone. Of course, my first one quit and the new one doesn't work at all.My iPod Touch and iPad work with other VOIP services. That's what I'm using now.

Diffidently issues with this headset on W8.1, but so far it looks like it can be resolved to some extent.A lot of users reported problems getting mic to work, which was the case with me as well. I

It works great with Siri!! It's one of my favorite features of the phone. When I'm driving I just push the top button and it activates Siri. I say "Call Joe Smith" and it calls Joe Smith. If I get a text, push the button say "Read Text Message" and they're read, giving you the option to speak your reply. I can also push the button and say "Where's the closest Dunkin Donuts (not that eat them LOL) and Siri will find it and ask me if I would like to call it or get directions. It really helps keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.
