How well would this work with an iPhone? Call answer/end/siri button? Track forward/back buttons? Stereo for music, mono(both ears) for calls?

The xp 400's do not allow music over bluetooth, only calls. You can pair the head set with your phone. You can answer calls and end them from the head set. The calls do come through on both ears, and I have never found ay way to use siri

Jawbone Voice Control app activates Siri! In fact, I just took it for a test drive and it works great! You can dial contacts, yes, but also do everything else that Siri can normally do!

If Siri will play through a normal bluetooth headset, it should work with this just fine. I can't say for sure, though, as I have no intention of ever owning an Apple product.

Making and taking calls is fine with a note. The Bluetooth with music is nearly unusable due to slow communication response. I use the Din plug with the Aux input. Even better - dump your music to a USB stick and use that

Does anyone with an iPhone have experience with using this product? I, like the original questioner, need this device just for media/music. My car's Bluetooth is set up for Phone calling/receiving. Apple iPhone does not allow you to set up "Phone only" and "Media only" profiles for Bluetooth like Android does. I'm curious to hear from someone who has used this and owns an iPhone.

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Does NOT work well with iPhone, November 12, 2007 By cafehenri "cafehenri" (New York) - See all my reviews If you are like me, looking for a headset that lets you control your iPhone, listen to music, and answer calls without taking the iPhone out of your pocket, this is NOT it. I am sure this is a great headset with other devices, but NOT with iPhone. It pairs to the phone, but not the ipod on the phone. I found out after buying this product that it's because Apple's bluetooth support is pretty weak. When pair with a Macbook Pro, everything is in mono (not stereo, wow, amazing Apple support of bluetooth). From reading online I found out it's not the issue with this phone, but Apple's lack of support for wider bluetooth products, but still, I wish the product description would have said "doesn't work well with iPhone at all."

Call/Music controls doesn't work with iPhone5. You can get apple headsets for less than $10, but need to look out for it daily on the internet.

What do you mean by stereo? The speakers? Yes the speakers are mono, but like other phones, I highly doubt you'll be listening to music through them rather than through headphones or a bluetooth unit (due to the waterproof port cover). Ringtone wise, they are fairly clear and can be loud if you enable xLoud, which maximizes the track volume.

Will definitely answer calls, volume and skip track fictions don't work. Again not a problem if you can adust the volume button on your phone. Call quality pretty good, not as good as my bose in ear. But the sound quality with music the best I've heard. Was wrong about the volume adjust, sorry.

I'm sorry to say but skullcandy is exclusive to apple products as far as the volume button compatibility goes. The play/pause/skip button should still work as well as the mic as far as I know.

I have had the opportunity to answer and hang-up on a call through these headphones and overall that worked fine using the inline remote and microphone. The one thing I did notice is that there is a bit of a delay between the phone and the headphones (same issue as with video being out of sync of audio), and this sometimes results in both ends of the phone call talking simultaneously for a bit. Siri works just fine with these by holding down the center button.

I've used this headset for about 6 months and believe that I can accurately answer this is not one of those sets. There is only one button which answers/disconnects calls or activates Siri on iPhone. I see no other options or buttons to activate a feature as such. So my answer would be no.

EDIT:Agreed, it should work just fine. I tested it on my co-worker's iPhone 5, worked like a charm. Mic, volume control, play/pause. Good to go, I still recommend.

Actually I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, no idea about the iPhone. Anyways the volume control adjusts only the headset's volume without affecting the phone's volume level. The circular orange button however answers/ends calls and also plays/pauses music which is handy. I guess double click or long press can bring up voice commands and so. I keep the phone's volume level at the highest and lower the volume on the headset to extend its battery life.

No, you cannot activate Siri from the Uclear buttons. You can only pause/resume music, skip forward/backward and answer calls.

This unit has a built in bluetooth receiver for answering phone calls and playing music. Note that I had problems with the bluetooth connectivity on my unit after Apple updated IOS past version 4. I'd recommend looking at a more recent receiver if you're an iphone user.

you can switch tracks thru the device but haven't been able to get siri up and running. She's a pain in the ass anyway. Not real easy to use on a helmet but doable. Buttons could be bigger and easier to use
