So, just put it in the phone, your ear, and start talking and they can hear you, right? What is the microphone on/off switch for? Thanks. Cindy

Cindy, The microphone switch serves multiple functions. 1. It works as does most headsets that plug into an Apple product such as the iPhone and iPod Nano. Once plugged into your iPhone, when a call is coming in, press the mic button one time, that will answer the call. When you are hanging up, press the mic button one time, call is ended. 2. If you have purchased music from iTunes and you have an iPhone, you can start the play of your music by pressing the mic button one time. To stop the play of your music, press the mic button one time. With the music playing, if you press the mic button quickly 2 times it will advance to the next song, if you press the mic button 3 times it will repeat the song playing or back up to the previous song. If you are listening to music and a call comes through, the music will fade and you can answer the call by pushing the mic button 1 time. I hope this was helpful. I really like this ear piece and its functions and I hope you will too. Will Dooley

Yes, the process is that easy, the on/switch (depending on which phone you have) will open Siri / S Voice / Google Now when you press and hold it. If you're playing music, it is a pause/play button

I tried it several times but without any result. They don't hear me very well. On/Off Switch is for mute and unmute voice while you are talking. I hope this message will be useful for you. Kind regads,Emin

Yup, plug it in just like any other ear piece. I haven't used the microphone on/off.

Use the phone on the same ear where you have the earbud. The microphone picks up your voice as well as the voice on the phone. I write for a newspaper and often record phone interviews while taking notes, either longhand or with a keyboard. Note: Many states require that you notify the person on the other end that you're recording the conversation. One more thing: Be sure to insert the plug into the "Mic" port of your recorder. If you put it in the "ear" port, only your side of the conversation will record.

You take it off "speaker" by pressing either the "talk" or "speaker" button. This will toggle the speaker phone function between earpiece and speaker.

Funny you mention it. I've read a few people stating so, not many though. I think people are more worried about hearing others, not others hearing them. However, this is the key feature I'm looking for. I'm trying to replace my Panasonic KX-TG2730, which my Dad can't hear me on at all. I thought he was going deaf, until a house guest called me at work from my phone and I realized it's been my phone the whole time. I have numerous other people asking me to speak up too. I would like this phone, it's got excellent reviews, but I'm going to do a little more research first.

You use the mic to talk on the phone or speak into your phone if you are using voice to text for example.

There's no on/off switch. The only way to shut it off, unfortunately, is to unplug it. As for your other question: I do not know. I've never used the mic with anything more than a karaoke machine.

Hi Coty, have youtried the speakerphone function? how sensitive the mic is? can you speak like 0.5 m to 1 m from the mic and yet the other side still hear you clearly?

tbh im not quite sure but whenever my mic is on people don't tend to have problems hearing me, and i keep the mic maybe within an arm's reach from me. i hope this helps :)

This has nothing to do with the headset. It is a phone feature. If the phone can, than the headset can. We just implemented a call center last week and they are switching line easily.

Where does your audio come from? You can put it near a speaker to record that. When I want to record something on speakerphone, I take it out of my ear and lay it on the telephone speaker. It records that well and also records my voice if I speak out loud into the speakerphone. If the online training is on your PC, couldn't you record the audio directly?

i really never hold it to my ear. the only way i talk on my phone is with a ear piece. i hate holding the phone period. I only roll with a blue tooth. I hope this has helped yo. But when I do it is not ofter, and it is not that bad.

There are no controls on the mic/earbuds, so all phone functions-answering the phone, volume control, making a call-are made from the phone. If you are listening to music and you receive a call, you answer it as if you were just using your phone and just talk. The mic is good enough that you don't even need to bring it up to your mouth to speak.

You just press the button to turn on and off for the microphone. Once you press it to answer, then you only have to press it again to hang up.

I use mine almost exclusively just for this. You want to get into the "habit" of turning it on before you make contact with a person. Also, the laws of your State will tell you if you can use the "one-party" knowledge pertaining to the audio. That one party would be you, yourself. That is the law in the state I live in.

The phone has no microphone. You only hear, not having device to talk or some kind of plug to connect microphone. But it is a great device to reduce external noise, with good internal audio, and works even without battery. I'm a DJ, had experienced 3 other headphones from other brands, but now I found this phone and I am very satisfied!

Hello W. Fisher. On the volume control base there is a slide up/down button for you to put the mic in mute. Many time I forget to slide the button back up to un-mute the headset. So if you a looking for a flashing light to indicate if the headset is in mute mode, it does not have one. Sorry....

I haven't had any troubles with people hearing me, they hear me just fine. When you get someone on the phone use the side volume button and turn it up. If you don't this already then there's something wrong with your phone. I would then go to a Verizon store and ask them. Hopefully this will of some help to you! Good luck!
