Can the person on the other end of the call hear everything around you or just your voice? Looking to use in an office and not have them hear everyone

i would suggest you cup the dogtag in your palm and play real life hand telephone. the mike is sensitive enough for clear pickup and transmission while hanging from your neck, and don't forget this device is slightly amplified. in bluetooth music it amplifies your volume.. i've had no problems with public use of this thing though. i used it on the bus and train with no problem. you'll need to take the same precautions you usually do when you want a more private muted convo...hand telephone. with it around your neck, at a desk, it looks no more than as if you're resting your chin/cheek on your palm as if daydreaming.

For the most part, yes, if the others are speaking at, let's say, crowd level. One would have to cover the mic. That would be to cancel out the background speaking. The listener will hear voices, but not necessarily be able to understand what is being said.I hope that this was helpful.

I've had one of these since 2009 and out of all the various BT devices I've tried with either my phone or my laptop (while on Skype) the people on the other end of the conversation have always said they can hear me best with the Jabra. So apparently the background noise is the least with the Jabra.

I have a home office, but do need to participate in teleconferences, and I have asked people whether they can hear it; they say 'no'. a cubicle can be a little different that this, however. it makes the same swooshing noise that any treadmill makes as the belt moves, and your stepping noise would still be heard also. probably depends on your office's overall noise level.

We want the front desk to use the headset, but the rest of the office uses handsets conneted to the same lines. If we take the phone off the hook, won't it disable the other phones? If the front desk uses one line and it is busy, the call automatically jumps to the next line. Will they still ring on the other lines, so someone else in the office can still pick up and answer the call?

I don't know about callers hearing me in a noisy environment but I can't hear them in a noisy environment. The volume on this headset doesn't go up very high.

Absolutely not. If someone is near you and talking you, you have to have to hear their extremely loud voice. Plus, the device will produce very loud sounds if I you walk while weaing it.

I worked in a call center office with hundreds of other people and white noise generators. one person had this and it was easily heard and VERY distracting.

I guess it depends on how quiet your office is. I just asked my coworker who is about 15 feet away and she said that she could barely hear it.

Yes, everyone I talk to hears the echo except me. It renders the phone useless.Sometimes the caller assumes the connection is bad and wants to call back, sometimes they hang up before I have a chance to tell them it's the earpiece. I'm using a verizon LG flipphone. There are other problms like the multifucntion button barely clicks so you never know if you've pressed it or not. Also there is slight digitation in the callers voice. Volume is fine if your indoors and quiet, but outside is harder to hear. Not a snug fit on your ear.

None,it doesn't work that way all calls go through your Caller ID and Answering Machine.As two other people have commented on this,i couldn't have said it better myself,if you buy it you won't believe the quiet you'll get from it.I'm still very happy with mine,this was a wise investment on my part.

Asked the wife and she says that everyone hears her just fine. She does talk a little louder than most. Personally I don't like these things, need a phone to my ear.

Yes you will still hear someone talking next to you but it will be very muffled

Yes you can. I have closed mine many times and talked. Have never had anyone complain that they cannot hear me. Hope this helps.

I think the sound leakage is generally quite low. It is worth noting however that the microphones will pick up any non-continuous noise in the room around you, so if you have others around you, everyone will hear them in a call.

Yep, the previous answers are correct. When the noise cancelling feature is engaged, it is difficult, if not impossible, to hear a person speaking even when he or she is standing near you (in fact, that is the whole idea of the noice cancelling feature). If you wish to hear what the person is saying to you, you simply press the "Talk Through" button and you can hear the nearby speaker.

My cell device does not offer this as a feature so I can not say if you would hear the callers name. I do hear the phone rings and my specific ring announcements (you have a text, your mother is call, its the boss do not answer the phone). I suspect that hearing names would work.

Very much so. I am also in the work from home category and I use this product with Skype. I have never had a complaint about someone having a problem hearing me and everything sounds clear to me as well. The range on this is also great. My office is upstairs and I can go downstairs and out the door without loosing quality. Of course my house is not huge either :)

The caller's voice comes out on both ear pieces. Actually as a phone headset in a normal environment, it works really well.
