Do you absolutely have to use the external mic or can you just use the phones?

you can use both, but using the mic is much much better, people have less problems hearing you on their side.

Yes, you can just use one of the built-in mics and it will take up less space. You can also use one built-in mic and one external input.

I purchased the type that did not have a microphone, strictly output. I don't know why the mic set wouldn't work with any phone.

Yes you can talk on the phone with these. I tried the mic and work very well! :)

I have not tried it, but a mic with a mini-USB plug ***might*** provide external microphone capabilities.

No, they do not. the sound does, but it will use the built-in microphone no matter what, so if you don't want it for the mic, you're fine, but if you want the mic, I can't help you

The phones have a head set jack on the side. I have not used this feature. That is the extent of my knowledge regarding this matter.

Yes, you can use the mic for audio, but I'm not sure if it will work using the regular speaker unless the phone application will support that.

You can hear the call fine but need to use the microphone on your phone. You dont have to the phone to your mouth.

Sure. The mic is only going to work if you hook the headphones up to your smart phone to take a call.You can listen to music on your phone too depending on what app you have open. Otherwise you can plug into any audio source with your Nakamichi headphones.

Ah.... You can use different headphones, but they are necessary, since is your way to hear the conversation. But you can talk without the wired headphones, sure. The mic is in the device, not in the headphones.

If you're connected to it through your Bluetooth, the phone call will come through that--you will hear them through the speaker. Obviously you will still need to talk back through the phone as your voice will not be picked up by this speaker. It is not a microphone.

Yes, they can. Make sure that you get the right Shell though. If your shell is covering up the mic on your phone, then you have the wrong shell.

no. the only way i know of to use an external mic with this camera is to sync some separately recorded audio using editing software (you can do this by looking at the visual image of the recorded sound). But for many purposes it would be much easier to just buy a camera that has a mic jack.

There are no controls on the mic/earbuds, so all phone functions-answering the phone, volume control, making a call-are made from the phone. If you are listening to music and you receive a call, you answer it as if you were just using your phone and just talk. The mic is good enough that you don't even need to bring it up to your mouth to speak.

I'm unsure of what exactly you're asking, but here goes...the handsets sit in the base(s) when not in use. To talk, you take them out of the base. If you want to use a headset or earbuds, you would plug those into the phone handset and then clip the handset onto your belt or waistband (the clip is included). The phone handset needs to travel with you when you're using it, even when using a headset.

The phone has no microphone. You only hear, not having device to talk or some kind of plug to connect microphone. But it is a great device to reduce external noise, with good internal audio, and works even without battery. I'm a DJ, had experienced 3 other headphones from other brands, but now I found this phone and I am very satisfied!
