Could one detach the microphone altogether and use just the headset?

Mic and headphones are on seperate connectors so you can just use the headphones if you want. I do this with my iPad. Physically, you cannot remove the mic.

If you do't wan't the microphone yes you can simply not have it hooked up. However the microphone is really only working in tandem with your headset mic or desktop mic to cancel out background noise. Hope that helps

Nope - this is just the mic attachment. You would need to purchase the headset separately.

Although it can be done, The manufacturer does not recommend connecting the mic directly. Quite frankly, it's a pretty flimsy and unsubstantial piece of gear. I've moved up to a Focusrite Scarlet. Much much better.

The headset and microphone have to be attached to amplify your voice. They do not function separately. You can hold the microphone while attached to to the amplifier to your mouth without putting it on your head.

no, you would need to set up a separate voice recording solution through your PC, as the component cable on the Turtle Beach headsets is only Audio in not out

Answer to the first question is no you cannot remove it but you can have it point straight up and out of your face and you can also use this on either side of the head. You can play/pause from the headset by clicking the volume up and down at the same time. Very easy to do.

Yes it's best if you turn off the attached mic and use just the this mic. You may even have to unplug your mic anyway to connect the this mic to the plug that your mic is plugged into.

You should still be able to use any headset with it, it's essentially an extended microphone jack. I'd still research outside of amazon to be sure.

You would just need an adaptor to split the connection into the mic jack and headphone jack.

You should be able to do all that, at least that's what they claim. I wouldn't recommend this product . I got 2 headphones and both the mic didn't work.

For me, this thing is unusable. The headset battery is about worthless as it discharges on its own in less than 12 hours. You could keep it plugged in to the USB all the time, then that would not be a problem.

Yes there are such headsets. http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node;=11974741There seem to be some right here on Amazon. :) Are you having some sort of trouble with the current headset you're using? The only other thing I can think of is to get just the microphone with no headset.

I am pretty sure you would need to pull out your phone. Honestly, this headset isn't great for answering/making calls

Of course you can. I have one doing just that. It's the least expensive way to game chat using your old computer headset.

I believe you can't if you just have the base and no additional handsets. It's useful to think of the headset as a substitute of the the corded-handset of the base. The're mutually exclusive. For more information I suggest you call RCA's customer support, I've called twice and they've been really helpful.

I believe you can get a VOX headset, which will allow you to voice activate the pickup of the mic.
