Does the headset work well on a Mac book Pro, I Phone and with Dragon Dictate for Mac?

This headset works great with the MacBook Pro. I used it both as a USB and a Bluetooth headset with no problems (although BT audio is not as good). I would advise against using the plantronics hub software - I found it intrusive and cumbersome. You can easily control the audio through your applications or via the computer settings. I also connected the headset via BT to my iPhone and it worked great. I have no experience with Dragon dictate.

This headset has a higher ohms, i would recommend getting a headphone amp if you want to run it off a mac.

Yes it is working on my Mac book Pro. Just requires some tact about plug in.

No. IT doesn't Work good. Neither with a Modern mac book pro. Year 2012. I had to take IT of my laptop.

Yes, if your Mac book pro has blue tooth connectivity it should be able to. But wouldn't recommend using this speaker. It is very small and not clear sound

Yes, the keyboard is compatible with an OSX Mac Book Pro. I just tested it out right now. the volume buttons work, the mute button works, the lights work, everything works except the windows keys, as to be expected with keyboards intended for pc use. I was running it through an early 2011 model mac book pro with osx snow leopard. The keys don't stick that much for me, maybe 1-3 times every month with heavy use, ime a nice little double tap on the key that stuck will fix it, and I bang on keyboard HARD, it's durable. I've used my keyboard heavily for a year now and it's still going strong. But you can't go wrong with razor, I'll probably be upgrading to that in the future. Hope this helps.

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.

btw after writing my last comment i went to www.macspeech.com and checked out their headsets and some of them look really good. pricey though i'd stick with the usb microphones and pic one from their page and go for it

Yes it works on Mac. This does not ship with any audio editing or sound developing software.

it works completely fine with my iMac desktop. So it should work just fine with the new Mac Pro.

It works really well with Mac OS X - no issues, no special drivers. Just plug it in and it becomes one of the 'audio out' choices.

I don't want to steer you wrong, I am not sure if it is compatible for MAC. I would assume yes, the hardware uses bluetooth technology which would allow any application that accepts bluetooth; should in theory work no matter the O.S. I have paired my phone to my Windows 7 O.S. with no issues, so I don't see why the headphones would be an issue. I haven't tried Skype or other collaboration tools. I don't perceive there being any issue, the headphones don't need any drivers to use so again, I don't see any issue. I use the USB to charge the headphones and there is no driver issues or any request to connect the hardware. I don't want to steer you wrong, I am not sure if it is compatible for MAC.

Yup, definitely mac compatible. I use it with Skype and it sounds better than my home phone. I am running OSX 10.8.5 with the Plantronics Spokes software. Everything functions as expected (pickup/hangup, volume change, etc).

I have no problems at all with this headset on my PowerBook G4 and my iMac intel core duo both running it with Skype and eyeBeam.

My experience dictates : ) success when using Plantronics DSP-V3. I have used two others with varying success however it may also depend on your voice, diction, inflection, accent, and training the program to understand YOU. Quite honestly I find the Apple voice recognition software included with Mountain Lion and I presume Mavericks to work equally as well as Dragon Dictate. Apple provides far superior customer service. Dragon virtually none! Save a couple hundred bucks with less frustration.

Don't know. Works well on phone but have been unable to get it to work with Dragon Naturally speaking.

I don't use Dragon, but this is a very clear, high quality headset. I think it would work with speech recognition software, no problem.
