I have only had 3 or 4 calls wih the headset so far and have not had any complaints about the mic quality but i hav not heard it from the other end so im not sure.

Mic is overall good but sometimes people can't hear me where there's a lot of noise. Noise isolation is good, too much noise isolation is dangerous

I use this strictly as a talent mic in a fairly quiet audition setting and it eliminates any white noise. You should clip it 6-10 inches away from your mouth. I have an extension cable I bought separately, but the sound quality has remained consistent and is 100 percent better than simply using the internal phone mic.

Yes, audio is very clean + the noise cancellation is superb. Best noise cancellation of any headset I've owned & I've owned many. I've been on some sites where I can barely hear & my conversation comes through with no noise. I use Siri + other voice dictation software with no issues. Hope this helps.

The sound quality is excellent. There is no noise reduction so the high frequencies will not be filtered out. That is a desirable feature: your voice will sound bright and clear rather than dull and muddy.

oh yes, it has a mic, and a good one too. I live in an area that can be quite windy at times, in the past I couldnt make phone calls from outside because the wind noise was too much. Now I can, on most days, still make calls because the mic somehow cuts the wind noise down to a reasonable level and people can hear me just fine, and i can definitely hear them because the earbuds are so snug and the sound quality so good, so clear.

I've never had any complaints from others about background noise when I've used my mic. But I don't know how much noise you may have to deal with.

Depends on how many Decibels you'll be dealing with. If there's a constant bombardment of noise, the microphones will never get a "break" to allow a normal conversation. High decibels will drown out low sounds.

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all.=)In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

This mic is highly directional. Therefore it does not pick up as much extraneous sound (i.e. mouse clicks, fan noises, etc). The downside is that you must speak right into it. I work about five inches away form it and find it a bit quieter than my Blue Yeti. Sound quality is very good.

No. I boaght this becuase i heard good things about it. After only 3 uses it shorted out started getting static noise and 0% voice pick up. Even when it did work, it could barely pick up any thing. My advice: skip it, spend the extra money get a good mic so it will be worth your money at the end of the day and you won't be disappointed like me.

The speaker phone is pretty good, sounds clear and the mic is sensitive enough. The interface with android is also good; you can switch to phone if you don't want the conversation public, then it'll go right back to the music when you hang up.

Microphone works well enough for calls. Microphone is independent of noise cancelling.

Very good overall quality for mic sound, not 100% sure about noise cancellation...I do not believe so.

Call quality is very good with mine but I only make 2 or 3 calls a trip on the road, all cell. I have not used Skype so I can't help w I th that. All in all I really like and enjoy using the headphones.

The microphone quality is good. The person who you are talking to will be able to hear you well. You do need to be in a quiet area to hear them clearly though. It is difficult to speak on the headset on the road or in the gym. This headset is good for making calls, but when listening to music, the quality can be imrpoved a little. I still prefer using wired samsung earphones for better quality.

Fairly good pick up with this Mic and depending on the software and how well you adjust the input it should do a great job for you. I have been using this mic for a year now for podcasting and have been able to narrow the pick up range to cut out the majority of ambient noise..

The mic is actually a little two powerful. It picks up everything and seems to amplify it. My cat meowing in the other room is often extremely loud to the person I am speaking to. Any noisy area and the person you are talking to is sure to complain. They are pretty sturdy and nice for the price but if call quality / clarity is your concern I'd look for something targeted for that.
