Has anybody used with a cell phone? How is the mic performance?

The sound with a phone is great. I asked the person how I sounded and they said they couldn't tell that I was talking from a headset.

As far as I know, it works well. I bought this item as a gift and he seems to like it. I have not heard any complaints about it.

I haven't noticed an issue. I haven't used it with a mic that much, but the couple of times I have for basic voice overs, I had plenty of gain. It's USB powered, so there probably is something to the complaint of weaker gain in comparison with a standard interface or mixer, but again... I had plenty.

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.

Call quality is very good with mine but I only make 2 or 3 calls a trip on the road, all cell. I have not used Skype so I can't help w I th that. All in all I really like and enjoy using the headphones.

I have not had a problem with microphone in the past, but it works like charm when listening to music and making phone calls.

There is a mic and it doesn't work really well with hearing though I can say that after using it for chat on Skype, Yahoo, Gmail, and on my mobile phone... That the quality of my voice is not very good. No matter how I hold the mic up to my mouth in any angle that I can, it doesn't change the quality besides being louder when my mouth is closer. The mic is attached to the wire, it isn't attached to the headpiece itself. As for listening quality though, it is worth it and has an amazing noise-reduction.

I use them primarily for drama presentations and testimonials. I rarely get feedback because each mic has its own frequency. It has been used a couple of times for singing and it was okay. However, I do experience channels going dead intermittently. I've sent back once and the overall response comment was operator error. I will be upgrading as soon as the budget allows.

The mic works great. I really enjoy this device. I didn't even realize it had a mic at first. I took a phone call not realizing that my phone was in my pocket. The caller heard me loud and clear I was at least 5 feet away.

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 this headset primarily for webinars, once per month or so. The audio quality is great, in fact better than using my phone handset. It should work well for you.

Does not work well with a cell phone. When you have your phone connected to the speaker and try to answer a call, no one can hear you. Have to turn off the speaker first, readjust your mic settings and then call the person back. Also, it's loud if you're in the same room, but overall it really is not very loud. Can probably hear from 8 feet away max.

I am not sure exactly what you are asking. There is volume control on the headset. The MIC settings are adjustable on your PC. Not sure when connected to a phone.

@ ok4ablondeThanks a bunch, this helps alot, wanted to get some user's opinions about the sound quality in videos before trying it myself, had tried a Samsung SL720 which had 2 stereo mics, but I guess Samsung forgot to actually install the mics in the camera, really poor sound. thanks again.

You use the phone's microphone. It has been OK to use so far but some people say my voice sounds muffled on the other end.

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 use my headset for dictating correspondence using Dragon Naturally Speaking (now 12.5 preferred) where it works for a well. For my cell phone use I use the less expensive Jawbone headset. As a matter fact, I own and use four of them-all of which work very well. Hope this helps.
