Will the microphone work when it is plugged into a laptop? I have a MacBook.

I think it's supposed to, but I have had mixed results when using it, so I usually use other JLab buds without a mic and rely on the computer's. I also have a PC, and not a Mac. It has worked perfectly fine on my friend's Mac. It works fine when I talk on my iPhone though. Hopefully this helps!

I have a pc and it did not work. I believe that they did not work for my brother's MacBook Pro either.

I've tried both an ordinary headphone and a cellphone combined microphone/headphone. For the latter, the microphone is always recognized but the headphone doesn't always work (i.e. laptop continues using the external speakers). The same problem for ordinary headphone, sometimes it is recognized, sometimes not. It's the only irritating issue with this laptop, of course I'm not sure if I should use a specific type of headphone on this new jack.

You need an audio interface to connect it to your mac. The quality of the interface will effect the mics sound but it is sole due to the ad converter in the audio interface

All you have to do, is to raise the microphone to the upright-position, and it mutes-itself . And, if you have a later Mac O.S., it is totally compatible with a Mac, controllable by the "System Preferences":"Sound"-pane .

You might have to get special drivers. What I would do is look online for the drivers for this mic, if the drivers are available for the mac you have than it is completely safe to use. If not than you would be taking a risk with the product.

It will work on laptop just your mic won't work. You can hear just not talk on it or use Bluetooth.

As long as your computer has the appropriate stereo jack, yes, the microphone will work.

This should not be a problem! You can connect your mic to the XLR jack and use a 1/4" cable with an mini-stereo (on either end) to connect to your laptop. Levels should be adequate for most applications.

Yes and no. First, this headset is not USB; you would be better off with a headset that connects via USB. This headset has one jack for the microphone and one jack for the the speakers (ears); your Macbook has only one jack for listening (speakers for the ears), but your Macbook has no jack for the microphone. Logitech has other models that are USB. Recommend getting a USB headset.

Not sure, I have an Acer laptop. Works great and yes the mic can work either way.

I suppose so. I don't use MAC, only Windows 7. But it has to work since it is designed to work as a USB microphone. There won't be any problem at all, but you can check it on youtube to make sure if it really works or not with Mac, greetings! :D

I doubt seriously if your problem has anything to do with the pillow speaker. Check the sound settings on your macbook. If you can't get it to work, take the MacBook to your Apple storemIt works great on my Note 4 and my Samsung tablet.

I use this mic all the time with skype on my macbook pro. It pic's up the audio much better than the computer mic. Hope this helps.

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better. You have to switch input in settings also, it's probably defaulted to "built in mic".

Patrick's answer is correct for some MacBook Pros. However, keep in mind that some newer model MacBooks don't have an audio line in, so the mic still won't work even if you buy the Y adapter. Do some research on your model to verify before getting the Y adapter. You can get a relatively inexpensive USB line in/out adapter instead. Don't waste your money on sennheiser's adapter if it won't work. Specifically, my 2013 MacBook Pro 13" Retina does not have a universal in/out, only out.

I do not know. I do not own a mac and have never tired this on a mic. I know it works well on a PC and laptop.

macbook uses a 3.5mm jack, and this plantronics is a 2.5mm jack so its not compatible, macbook internal mic is very sensitive so you dont need an external mic but if you want a mic you can see the macbook compatible accessories
