No Mic says you will not get mic with the Headphones which means you will have to use your phone's(or what ever device ) mic.

This model does have a mic on it, and of good quality. Also a play/pause button if that's what you want to use it for. The only difference between having one on these earbuds and not having one is the price, as it is cheaper without it.

Some of these have a microphone that works with your cellular phone when plugged into the audio jack. I thought all of them did but at least the black one does not, while the red one definitely does.

Having a mic is generally seen as an accessory or gimmick, but it can be useful as you can answer calls while using headphones ,can use the headphones on modern gaming consoles and can skype and video call using headphones. Definite plus to have one

I personally will not buy without a mic. If you have a smart phone you can use the headphones as a hands free device. I don't like to hold the phone up so I use the mic on the headphones and just thrown the phone in my pocket. You can hang up the call by clicking the mic as well.

I use the heahphone mic for Teamspeak. Ive asked, and my friends notice the difference between my desk mic... But they say I'm still audible in game.

Hello! The AKG D5S has an on/off switch, while the D5 does not. (So "S" = "switch".) Having recently used my D5S at a solo performance, I was very glad to have the on/off switch right in front of me! If you are considering either of these mics, I would suggest the S model for that very reason. By the way, this is one terrific microphone! I had always used Shure mics in the past but went with this AKG model after reading a lot of reviews. The sound is excellent.

The mic is totally fine - no complaints there. I use Mumble/Vent regularly and my clanmates have had no complaints. I also don't have to use mic boost or anything like that.

The awnser button on the mic doubles as a mute button. It also stops/starts music and such.

No external mics included, you have to buy a kit that contains 2 external mics. Which is what I did.

hey thanks for the info! as it turns out, my camera DOES have a mic input. boy do I feel stupid :) but i guess I won't need this one after all. I do think that it would work in a pinch, and thanks again for taking the time to respond-SelArom

the mic records in stereo and sounds much better than the mic that is built in. When the mic is plugged in it only records from the Rode and once it is unplugged you go back to the on board mic. You can NOT use both.

Technically, a mic is a mic. as long as the plug matches up. In this case, if your unit has a 2.5mm jack, it should be a go.

Both; there's a USB plug for the in-line sound card, which receives the headset's native 3.5mm audio + mic plugs. However if you don't have a USB available, you can use the 3.5mm plugs by themselves without the in-line sound card.

yes-it comes with one mic. I bought a second at radio shack. as I mentioned in my review though, I had 2 of these. 1 broke after a week and the screen on the 2nd never worked so I returned it a well. I ended up purchasing a different system all together. Good luck!

Live? There is a built in mic, and you can use it to record voice tracks, but i wasn't able to add any effect to it. Even so, that would be a loop. And not "live". It's a fun machine.

Btw... On mine the menu option to turn audio on/off didn't get rid of the voice. I assumed it turned of the mic for recording audio. Maybe mines gotta bug... I donno. Or maybe I'm just an idiot ;)

You can use regular ear buds to listen, but not speak. There is a separate smaller port for the mic that requires a compatible headset.

If you buy the one that is a little more it does. I was also confused about this and bought the cheaper one but this one does not have a mic.

I found no other differences between the two. As a matter of fact, I purchased one of each mic and I can not tell the difference between them.

The newer version of the unit has a better mic. In fact, it has two to choose from - a directional and an omni-directional. You might consider using the directional for voice and switch to omni if you want the crowd sounds.
