I am very concerned about the microphone. Those earbuds will be used exclusively to answer the phone, not to listen to music. I wonder how well the mic works with an Android phone (Nexus5) - clarity and volume. There are so few Android phone earbuds on the market so I really hope those will work. Thank you!

I've used this set with with my HTC Android for 2-3 months now, and the microphone works perfectly.

Good question. But I have An iphone4.My analogy would be that they should work on all phones. I'm sure or would be stated that it would only work on certain phones. But it doesn't . So I would say go ahead buy them.

There is not a visible mic BUT when I tried them on my Android smartphone my husband was able to hear me just fine. I had them on & plugged into my headset port & I did NOT have speakerphone on. So I said YES they do, in my review a month or so ago.

It depends, i mean i have read many reviews about this issue and some people say that itd compatible with some android's versions. Both the 2 pair of c5 that i tried to use with android didnt work, propably it will not work with yours. B&w headphones as i know dont work well with Androids. I used it with iphone only. Btw i have returned both if c5 because after some months the one headphone stop working well, i use p3 now and as this time its quite good.

Mine gave out after a year of daily use. I have since purchased a pair of phillips earbuds designed for android. They have been working fine for the past few months.

Many phones come with a free headset that has a built-in microphone. If this style of headset works with your phone, then you should have no problem using this mic. It is essentially a headset with no earphones.

I got the 3D ear phone/microphone and it kind of helps out for me! I am a distance hearing person so the audio is fine for me. If you want to play back the audio, you can get a reg earphone and listen to it!

I echo the comments of the others...except I find the Phiatons to be pretty much just as comfortable. BUT...and this is a big BUT, only the Phiatons apparently have noise cancellation for the mic ALSO. With the BOSE, the party I'm calling on the phone still can't hear me in my noisy car. This was a deal breaker and I returned the BOSE. When I called BOSE to inquire about why the mic didn't have noise canceling when the earbuds clearly had awesome noise cancellation, they tried to convince me that it would me then that the BOSE wouldn't be considered "hands-free" from a legal standpoint. Obviously, the CSR couldn't explain why that made a difference. I echo the comments of the others...except I find the Phiatons to be pretty much just as comfortable.

By any chance, when you activate it, does it just sound like moderate white noise, but you still hear what's going on outside of the earbuds? Because I have that problem as well, and I too have an Android. The noise-cancellation isn't all that great. If anything, it makes the sound quality worse. Why the noise-cancellation doesn't work well, I don't know. I'll just say the quality of the earbuds isn't the best.

i have no idea what those sony or sontronic ear buds are like. i can tell the buds that came with my sennheisers are NOT comfortable. but i have been advised to spend $20 to buy yurbud ear tips for these--they say those are very comfortable. i have not bought any other buds for these phones because i only wear them for short periods. but the upside is that the sound is great and the voice mic is way above average. but if you buy these sennheisers you should invest in comfortable tips made by 3rd parties.

so far i haven't had any problems with my voice recorder, i bought it referbished on amazon and bought a mic for it as well, it works very well for what i use it for, much nicer then those ole tape recorders :) . try another pair of ear phones, i bought a good set and have no problems with them so far. if that dont work for you, you might want to get it looked at.

Yes I have and still do. I use earbuds but it's still not all that great. There are other issues too, do you have a problem with clarity? The touch screen is not very "touchy"...very frustrating. Battery also gets extremely hot I have to turn it off after a while. I would not buy one again.

Correction, I was responding about a different device. I use the phones with my Apple Nano, so I don't use the mic at all.

The phiaton seems to have answered everything you would want. Noise canceling - not as comfortable as Bose , it has BT and most importantly for when you cant use BT you can use a mini jack cable. The devices charges with USB, I have mixed feelings on if I would have preferred a battery I could change as needed. The Bose is just a bad design which I am very surprised at I bet we see V2 some day with a complete redesign I cant imagine they are happy with this. Keep in mind I am wanted to like this, I like Bose products but even the mini Bose speaker has blue tooth problems now. I dont know what is going on there.

First time when I tested them, they worked with my Nokia. Second time, just left speaker sounded. Then, I used mi PC via cables with no problem. So, I'd like to answer a question to all dissapointed users: Could this problem to be fixed in another place?. Thank you.

I hadn't tried them until today and found that they do work, however, it is very picky with how it is pushed into the phone. You can hear the other person and they can hear you only if you play with the plug in. I use these just for listening to music at work. I would not recommend them if you are looking to use them to talk on your phone, however, great sound if you are using for music. I hope this helps you!

The earbuds do produce sound but the only function on the in line module that worked with my HTC One was the pause button. You can press it once to pause, or hold it to bring up Google Now. Double pressing it does not skip tracks, and the volume buttons don't work either. The mic on the in line module does work, but I have not heard how it sounds on the receiving end to be able to comment on the quality of it.

Yes the mic works with android. But the volume slider doesnt work with android.The play/pause button works though. But on my android phone there is a problem. When i press the pause button, the song pauses but my phone automatically starts calling the last contact on my call log; so i have to manually cancel the call. So the play/pause button is practically useless.
