Can the 3.5mm cable that comes with it also transmit from the headset's microphone, or it only outputs audio to the headset? Can Skype on a computer that doesn't have bluetooth? Thank you

It only outputs audio when used in wired mode with the 3.5mm cable that came with the headphone. However, MEElectronics sells a 3.5mm cable compatibile with Runaway AF32 which has an in-line remote and microphone so you can use it as a headset when connected to a wire.

Your computer doesn't need bluetooth internally. This setup has a USB stick--looks like flashdrive--that allows the headset to connect to your computer.

Please note the following from the Turtlebeach Support website: "The... XP400, PX5, XP500, Tango, X-Ray, Delta, and Phantom headsets were designed for use with PS3 and Xbox 360 game consoles. It is only possible to use these headsets on a PC or Mac if you have the correct configuration and hardware. We recommend using one of our many PC compatible models instead, such as the PX3 or Z300." I do not have the Bluetooth setup to use on my PC, so half of the function of the headphones is lost to me unless I spend extra money and time figuring it out. IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS FOR PC, GET SOMETHING ELSE FROM TURTLEBEACH.

Yes, this headset does work with Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10. In fact I'm dictating this response using this headset and Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10. You must buy the Plantronics Bluetooth enabled dongle and plug it into a USB port in order for it to work properly with your "Bluetooth enabled" laptop. I originally made the mistake of buying just the headset and not the Bluetooth dongle. The dongle is specifically adapted to work with the headset. (The bluetooth radio that came with your computer is not specifically designed to work with this headset)As far streaming music, I do not know the answer to that.

The headset transmits to a small wireless antenna plugged into a USB port. You'd have to check with your IT people, but my guess is that you have to have Dragon installed on the same computer as you have the headset plugged into. By the way, this headset works flawlessly with Dragon. I dictate on and off all day, and have had no problems.

I use this mic all the time with skype on my macbook pro. It pic's up the audio much better than the computer mic. Hope this helps.

You are able to get dolby digital audio through the spidif, if you use the bluetooth as comunication device on your computer you will be able to use speaker and microphone on your headsets as mean of comunication. The spidif it self does not support the microphone audio to be send. I have been using the blutooth for skype calls and online gaming and it works. Hope this helps.

It only has connections that work on pc. The usb power cord and the headphone and mic plug ins. Its a really good headset especiallyif you play pc alot or just want a nice headset. It also comes with a cable that plugs into your phone so you can use it as a headset for your phone.

For some reason the analog cables don't work for me with this headset. Probably an issue with my sound card I don't know honestly. But you can have it connected to pc and your phone via bluetooth and nfc. There's a trick to it. Connect it via nfc to ur phone then bluetooth via ur pc. Also USB pc and phone bluetooth work as well

Wish I could help you on your question. I bought this cable as an extension for my microphone. It works for the purpose I purchased it. Dont have any idea about the receiving, transmiting or talkback. Im sorry

I dont believe it can control the volume output from the computer - this is a wired connection, not bluetooth. My headset does not have a volume control on it. If your wired headset has volume control, then it should work on its own regardless of the dongle.

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.

I have not used this headset with Skype on the Mac, but I have used several others. Any Bluetooth heasdset will work with Skype on the Mac. You will have to set up Skype to use it. It is fairly easy.Skype does get a little annoyed if the headset is not in range when you try to use it. It doesn't really like to switch on-the-fly like a cell phone.

This headset WILL absolutely work on a PC/Laptop. Because of the short 3.5mm audio cable, you may need to get an 3.5mm audio extension cable, but this headset WILL work on a PC/Laptop.

If your computer has Bluetooth capabilities the headset is all you need and can be paired with the computer. If your computer does not have Bluetooth transmitting capabilities, you need a usb Bluetooth dongle plugged in to transmit the Bluetooth signal so the headset can receive it.

I've used skype with my headset on a laptop...it automatically set itself as default mic in my case. It's a pretty high tech little unit that I would have gladly paid $100.00 more for and still not been disappointed. I used it primarily for Team Speak however, which does not include video.

Hi .. this mic is only a mic. In order for you to use it with a phone you need a mixer/pre-amp of some sort with a phone interface. You can use it with Skype on your computer if you use a Blue Microhones Icicle XLR to USB Mic Converter/Mic Preamp - about $40 on Amazon. Then you can use it to talk to your callers and listen to them through your computer speakers. If you have a conference phone with an XLR connector this might work but I'm guessing not. Hope this helps. There is also a package on Amazon with 8 of these mics and a pre-amp that could work with a speaker phone as it has outputs that might match your phone system. Then you put a mic in front of each participant. There are push switches to talk buttons so unused mics can be turned off to eliminate background sounds. Hope this helps a bit. It is a pretty decent mic for the price. Enjoy.
