The microphone on this works really well. I used this for skiing all season and kept it tucked under my jacket and no one complained of the sound. I also expected it to break from exposure to the moisture but it's still alive and kicking. You also need to make sure it's plugged in the right direction or else it won't work.

I ride my bike with this device, and use a Bose SIE2i Sport Headphones. If I get a phone call, my microphone works on the headphones. That is all the experience I have with this device and using a microphone.

No, of course not. The headset is simply plugged in into the headset adapter, which is included. To talk either with the unit, simply push the side "push to talk" button on the transceiver with or without the headset. Either way, you will hear all communications.

NO MIC, friend.. but for the rest it is realy good and the price is a joke. Try it! Good sounds for you..

In my experience using this device, there is no need to do anything more than plug it in a USB port, plug the headset and/or microphone in, and hear sound. I have had to use no other settings except volume controls. I have found that it is automatically recognized as the sound port.

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.

There is a built in microphone, whether the one I use for skype and other things is the same as that one would use for gaming, I don't know. But, you can just go to start and look for microphone and find it there.

No, they don't come with a built-in microphone. They're very simple headphones so they don't come with anything other than the in-ear part.

No. There is no mic. Of course you could use the phone mic and listen through the headset, but I don't think that is what you meant.

That feature works fine, the voice came a little bit lower than the original equipment but clear. Bluetooth works as well as the original equipment. No need to plug the mic, it came the unit built in, as long as the original came with that feature. I hope this help, good luck.

It has a built-in microphone, but you can also opt to use whatever recording devices you have. For example, I found the mic quality of this camera to be awful, so I use the microphone with my Logitech gaming headset when talking to people.

No microphone, just a basic headset.You can still take phone calls with them plugged in to your phone, but you will have to talk in to your phone like normal while listening on the headphones (unless you want to unplug them and take the phone call normally, without headphones).

I'm having the same problem. I contacted the company and they said the headset isn't designed for Windows, and that you may not be able to get it to work even with the correct drivers. Annoying!!

No, there is no built-in microphone. You can setup an external one with it which has an audio cable linker there.

Do you have a single jack for microphone/headphone? This headset is designed to use two jacks for each function, but some computers only have one jack for both. If this is the case, you'll either have to find a different headset or (the better option in my opinion) purchase a adaptor like the Syba SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter which will allow you to essentially make the headset a usb headset. This is the specific one i use, and it works great, but obviously there are different options. If you don't have an open usb port just unplug the lights, they are nothing more than cosmetic, and will not affect sound in any way.

I use mine with my windows computer and you can mute the mic using he windows settings, but here is not a way on the headset itself to mute the mic. Hope this helps.

yes, but dont. the sound quality is really poor. i returned my first set, and then my second set. really bad. and the headset was practically useless.
