Does it allow hands free VOX communication, preferably without headset? Is it water resistant?

On age 6 of the little manual it explains how to turn VOX on and off. So yes, according to the manual. I just bought mine and am just starting to learn how to use it.

No this does not. These are super cheaply made, seriously overpriced for what you get, and we've had multiple problems with this seller. I would advise you to look into the Uniden walkie talkies that are sold directly from Amazon. They are much better made, some do have VOX, they are overall a better value for your dollar, and again come directly from Amazon so you could get free shipping and not have any hassles like we did. Good luck, Robert!

This was a gift, 2500 miles from me. I don't really know the answers. Sorry

The Motorola Whisper is very good against external noise transmission. When I've been in a noisy environment, the person at the other end could hear me very well. It has an automatic speaker adjustment that works somehow to adjust what I hear so that it's just the right level at my end as well..... My one suggestion for making the headset better would be to hv a redial and callback function available in the headset [not there!] .... Otherwise, the set is comfortable, ( I sometimes forget I'm wearing it until my phone rings) sleek looking (the boom feature is cool and I don't always need to use it when talking through the headset) In general, I like it a lot!

The voice is very clear and has a volume control Button. As for waterproof I would have to say yes unless you drop it into water. I wear mine as a watch and hear it fine without raising my arm to my ear,

the headset can be used as a phone, but it will mute the mic on the phone itself. Honestly, I think the phone feature is weak ... I no longer even try as the folks I speak with can't hear me well.

There is a review of this MPOW Streambot Y at (http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/review/mpow-steambot-y-delivers-bluetooth-for-older-cars?utm_campaign=tmo_home_sidebar) which states that you can do this by pressing a button on the Streambot. If this meets your criteria for "hands free" then, yes; you can do a full conversation hands free.

i wouldn't call this a "water proof" case . . . call it "water resistant" and check the info on the otter box website for performance claims and moisture exposure. Sound comes through just fine and i usually make calls with the ear piece/mic in part to ensure I can hear and be heard and the phone itself + case is a pretty large item to hold to the side of your head.

It's not a noise cancelling headset, so I suppose the only factor involved is how loud the sound coming out of the headset is. It doesn't leak though, so people around you won't hear your conversation.

Hi Dorisnewman, Sony ICFS79W Portable Radio is water resistant and is not meant to be immersed in or come into continuous contact with water . -Vincent

Water-PROOF ... NO ... Water-RESISTANT ... YES! You dump it in the pool or a wave rolls over it ... you're out one speaker! :-)

I use a Panasonic headset that plugs into my cordless telephone. Though it isn't bluetooth, mine has a fairly long cord allows me to be hands-free to use the computer as needed while I am on conference calls.

It says it is waterproof to 6 ft. Haven't tried it yet. But they do make waterproof bluetooth headsets. I have this case for just in case water happens.

This device only transmits the audio of whatever is running (phone call, Pandora, etc) to your radio. It has no hands-free option. It's the same as using speakerphone option but it plays thru your car speakers.

Hemal's response is correct. No direct answering / hang up from the headset. That said, for the price, I find this to be an excellent product. It is comfortable and provides clear voice reception to those I talk with. I use mine for business...4-6 hours a day.

The mic and speakers are made to mount on a helmet. I don't think you would want to Velcro the speakers and mic to your head. If you could find a mic/ headset like phone operators use it might work. The problem is the plug is different. I tried to find one and could not. But the unit works great. I hate helmets but maybe you might want to use one for the convenience and the safety.

Hello LF, thank you for the inquiry. The A20 BT headset uses Hands-free profile, Bluetooth 2.1

Yes they can be used under a helmet. I was using it under a snowboard helmet and it worked fine. My issue was that it was very hard to get the unit to key up using VOX. You can use the PTT button on the radio to talk if you'd like. The headset can do VOX or PTT transmissions.
