I am wondering about ambient noise transmission. Would a referee's whistle sound through the mic?

It's actually very good about picking up only voice. Now also keep in mind if you want to avoid the whistle getting through, it is push to talk. If you want the whistle to come through, it might slightly but not 100% clear nor at a good volume as this is designed to pick up sound directly from the wearer's neck.

Are you blowing the whistle while wearing the mic? Blow the whistle while feeling your throat. Did you feel any vibrations? If not, the sound won't transmit would be my guess.If someone else is blowing the whistle, then no.

There is some slight wind noise through the mic but I installed the Vega speaker pads I found on Amazon from Orange Choppers in Florida and it helped tremendously. There is a noise cancellation setting in the Sena that you can also use and it helps.

If I understand your question right the sound transmitting through the mic doesn't automatically get played through the headset unless you enable Windows to listen to the device your mic is plugged into. You can do that from the Recording Devices tab of Audio Properties. These headphones are open acoustics which means that the sound will seem as though it's coming from all around you instead of just over your ears, but you can hear everything else going on around you as well so they aren't ideal for noisy environments. Closed acoustics are better for noise canceling but IMO they don't sound as good and they get hot and stuffy after wearing for long periods of time.

I have used this in my truck and having my radio on. I can hear the music on a replay but it is not loud and I personally would not use this were I need to do a lot of verbal commentary. Now, if you were to video something, then move it closer to your mouth and speak clearly into the MIC, it might work. I will try it out tonight and post something later on on how it worked.

There is a dedicated microphone mute button and there is always the option of just not plugging the mic in and using a different microphone. So short answer yes

I've never been on the other end of this mic. I don't know if they would be very good in a noisy environment. I've been told that the sound quality coming through the mic is really clear though, no complaints from other people of it cutting in and out or static like other headsets I've had in the past. These are by far my favorite headset I've ever owned. Very comfortable!

Hi Michael,I really love this mic! Last summer I performed with it at an outside venue and had no problems whatsoever with any ambient noise or feedback. I agree with one of your other responders in that a _hypercardioid_ microphone would your best bet, however, in a really noisy environment. The AKG D5S is a supercardiod model.

Any condenser mic will create noise, but I would suggest that you just buy dynamic mic and will just have a bit noise compare to condenser mic. For instruments you can try Gls es-57 and for voice use shure sm58 or gls

There is no mute functionality on the mic through the headset. Muting has to be done through source controls.

If you attach a 2nd mic to filter background noise you will get excellent quality sound. By itself it's pretty good but, it will pick up any background noise so just don't podcast where there is a lot of that.

It is a clip on tuner that picks up sound vibrations through the clip but not through the air. I reviewed their on line manual, link below, and I didn't see any mention other than clip it to your instrument. No indication of an internal mic.http://www.petersontuners.com/media/pdf/PetersonStroboClipEnglish.pdf

Hello, I use the mic to video football games on the sidelines. I always had the mic on but tried with it in normal position and extended range. I can pick up a lot more action (voices of players and coaches) in the extended mode. It does make a difference. I never turned it off before.

It has an audio in...which I would guess it is at line input level, not intended for a microphone. That is what it seems to be to me.

If you are asking if you'll hear noise "picked-up" from the FLEX's microphone, the answer is: NO. That said, if you are moving through the air quickly as you might be on a bicycle, your ears will hear wind noise going around the outside of the headset. You will not hear the wind electronically out of the earbuds, but externally from its blowing around them.

This is more for recordings where you keep your mouth really close to the mic. If you have quiet a few people around and sit it in the middle and just chat, it would work but the voices would sound pretty distant and its going to pick up all the noises in the background of the pub.

In a recording booth, a sensitive condenser mic may be able to pick up the spill sound. A normal condenser with low reasonable volume, not so much.

Yes if you are in a quiet area. Any background noise will negatively affect the microphones performance. ~G
