How well does the microphone work for phone conversations with an iPhone 5? Does the position of the mic pick up your voice well?

For normal conversations the mic position is fine but the sound quality not so much. I used it to call only once and she complained that it was picking up too much background noise.

The mic works well and the calls are clear. It cuts out a good bit of background noise and interference. It helps to position the mic forward or wear it in front for the duration on the call (in lieu of behind the head)

I use them with the iPhone 5 and I am very happy with how well they work. They pick up your voice very well and easy to use.

The mic works good, but If you position it to the back of your neck It's kind of hard for others to hear you. You have to move it to the front.

compatible with iphones and other gadgets, it can pick up a phone call or pause a song on an ipod.It also has a built in mic.

Yes, it will work fine for this. Remember that MiC is a USB condenser microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern. So when I record conversations I don't put the MiC in the middle of the table. Instead, place it at the side of the table where nobody is behind the microphone. The sound quality is excellent when recorded on iPad or iPhone.

Once my iPhone is connected, it plays music well, but when I try to use voice commands using Siri, the commands aren't understood. I can see the audio is getting to the phone (watching the wiggly line when using Siri), but the pickup is not good. When I disconnect bluetooth, Siri input works okay. So I would say it is no longer using the phone mic or something else in the software is deficient.

No. I boaght this becuase i heard good things about it. After only 3 uses it shorted out started getting static noise and 0% voice pick up. Even when it did work, it could barely pick up any thing. My advice: skip it, spend the extra money get a good mic so it will be worth your money at the end of the day and you won't be disappointed like me.

I have synced this unit to both my iPhone 5c and my iPad 2. I am very pleased with the performance of the headset using on my iPhone for conversations. I have not been able to pick up any sound from apps, Pandora, or videos on either the iPhone or the iPad.

I just checked it by calling my sis. It does work on phone calls but NOT with the iphone speaker phone turned on. It also works on Siri. To get better quality sound for both your iphone 5 and speaker do the following: On iphone main page touch settings. Scroll down to Music and touch. Touch EQ. Then pick a category to your liking. I have mine set on Bass Booster. Hope all of this helps you. I really like this speaker.

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.

what makes it specifically for idevices is its 3 button controls that allow you to control the volume, play/pause answer calls. it will amplify the sound of anything you can plug the headphone jack in, but if it isnt "Icompatible" you cant control the volume of play/pause from it. so if you just want it to amplify the sound its great for anything. i'm not sure if the mic works with other things though, never tried it on anything but my iphone.

It picks up your voice. It has a little hole in the side that has a microphone. Your phone will read it as a bluetooth headset. The sound output will be through the stereo, and when you talk the device picks it up. (It works great BTW, I deliver pizza and its a great hands free device to use while on the road.)

The mic was actually ok. I could hear the person clear. I asked my coworker to pick check on the sound quality, she answer the phone through speaker first and she couldn't hear me. Then she picked up the phone and said she could hear me but it was low.

I have not tried this myself, i use them for the computer. There is no button to use voice control so you would have to hit the button on the phone itself, but the microphone itself is of very high quality. It is mono-directional so background noise would be minimal compared to a wire-mounted mic, and because it sits close to your face the sound of your voice will be very clear. I don't know if the iphone would properly detect the microphone because i have never tried it. I will try it with my Iphone 5S and see if things work as they should. I hope that helps

yes.. not sure what you mean by the "weird 3rd microphone section", but worked perfectly fine with a friend's iPhone 5

How Siri responds may depend on your phone or vocal accent, according to a friend who has a regional accent. My LG 800 microphone works great for phone conversations. Siri works very good also. The only problem I have is the LG automatically defaults to last number recall when first connecting until I place a call using the IPhone voice command via the actual IPhone. After the first voice command using the phone, the LG wireless works fine for all other commands.

At least with the pair I got, it doesn't have a microphone, so in that regard no. As far as android goes I think if you have just headphones plugged in, it'll still pick up voice from the phone's microphone. I haven't tested it on this pair though.

You've got to have a microphone someplace but the device definitely forwards the caller's voice to another device. I'm using an iPhone 4S and your experience may differ with a different phone.
