How is the microphone? Can people that recieve calls from you, hear you adequately?

Yes, but the phone must be close to the device. Having it in a cargo pocket is risky.

I went through a set (After like four years, a wire broke for the left piece, in the right piece right at the entrance to case [non-repairable]). My Mom did not like me using them to talk to her. Others found it difficult to understand me.

Was useless for the one call I've tried it on. Phone was in hand at the time. Moved to a wired headset mid call.

I used it primarily in the gym to listen to music. But the few times I used it for a phone call outdoors the caller usualy had difficulty hearing me.

the clarity is very good and there is no distortion on incoming or outgoing calls

The audio is 'ok' at best. If the room is small and there is only one or two people talking it is fine. If you have a larger room or lots of speakers, I would recommend a dedicated mic. We used a Crown PZM-11 mic with excellent results.

Actually, I'd say it doesn't do that great of a job blocking outside noise. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 4. Mostly it only lets louder noises in, but when nothing is going on ingame or if there is no music, you can hear others talking quite clearly. That being said, it runs pretty much silent when on someone's head. When my ears get a bit achy, I'll set them on the table next to me, and I can listen to whatever pretty easily. HOWEVER, as soon as it is on a person's head, nobody but the wearer (or people really really close, when at high volumes) can hear the content. Also, in case you wanted to know, the directional mic does a great job at reducing accidental noise traffic transmission. Hop this all helps.

There is a mic and it doesn't work really well with hearing though I can say that after using it for chat on Skype, Yahoo, Gmail, and on my mobile phone... That the quality of my voice is not very good. No matter how I hold the mic up to my mouth in any angle that I can, it doesn't change the quality besides being louder when my mouth is closer. The mic is attached to the wire, it isn't attached to the headpiece itself. As for listening quality though, it is worth it and has an amazing noise-reduction.

Yes.. the mic is not great though.. people you are talking to will hear an echo..

I would say the quality is fair to good. The microphone is located on the right side as a part of the controls. The performance is alright for a short period but not off a lengthy conversation.

Honestly, a lot depends on how quiet the participants are. The mic is relatively sensitive, so if there are a lot of side conversations, the other party may have some trouble hearing those on your end. I felt like the speaker was plenty loud, though. Unfortunately there is no way to add additional mics to the unit.

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.

Microphone quality is quite good. Never any complaints from the other person on a phone call that they can't hear me (and I ask frequently).

The mic is fine. No one has ever complained about not being able to hear or understand me. My only issue was w the ear pieces and the volume automatically changing

I find the Speaker Phone to be quite adequate; sufficiently loud enough for those with hearing difficulties. The playback on the voice messaging system is not quite as loud, but I believe still adequate.

Pretty good, but sometimes i get the comment that the volume is low on the receiving end, otherwise it provides good clear sound in Skype. Keep in mind that it doesn't make a chappy connection sound better ;-)

I bought my headset more than three months ago and the microphone is fine. I am using mine with Voice Over IP on the computer and conduct approx. 5-7 conference calls a day using it with no complaints from those attending. It does allow you to control the volume or mute the headset which I love. Plus it doesn't pick up a lot of back ground noise.

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good.I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys.Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

The microphone is pretty good. Not as good as a regular headset, but it's worth it to feel safe from EMF.

I've actually have been able to have conversations while laying down. And when the mic falls the other person can still hear me but it is lower... It's decent on cancelling noise. My only big complain is these buds lack bass.

The volume is certainly adequate. I haven't tried the microphone, so I can't comment on that feature.
