How do these work while talking on the phone and driving with the windows down in the car?

They are VERY sensitive to background noise, the person at the other end will have a hard time hearing you. Also be aware that in order to use this unit that you have to insert the earpieces into your ear. If you do insert them in your ear this is considered abuse of the unit and will void the warranty. The left earpiece on mine separated while the unit while I was using, it just fell apart in my ear. LG refused to honor the warranty citing that the failure was caused by abuse....

I've not tried it in the car at all because in my state, it's illegal to drive with headphones in your ear. It keeps you from hearing sounds of the road like horns and sirens. As far as phone goes, there is a button you press when you get an incoming call to answer the call. Pretty cool, and the ear buds work great for listening to your call.

Well, mine don't work at all now. They broke after only 4 months; so, it's hard to say for sure, but I never used them while driving. The sound quality did get a little choppy when I started moving quickly on my bike, though.

As long as you have them securely in your ear you will be able to hear with no problems. I have had many Bluetooth before I promise you these are GREAT I would by over and over again and as a matter of fact I just pulled the cord on mine little bit too hard they became .tangled in something and broke the cord now I have to replace them with another pair

You cannot turn the volume down enough on your phone. They are very loud and are designed for a call center with a lot of noise and a weak signal. I wear mine at the top of my ears to buffer the loud noise and turn the phone all the way down. If you are half deaf they are great.

I doubt it, I've only used the iPod interface so far and I have both steering wheel and on screen controls in my vehicle. The only thing that works correctly is the volume button. Every time I turn off the car I need to disconnect my iPod and reconnect it, to get it working back to where it was when I turned the car off. The installer I used told me these only work about 25% of the time, and rarely work as advertised. He was spot on with mine, it works to get sound out, but that's about it. I would look at other options, the only reason I didn't return this is that I paid to have it installed.

I haven't had any problems with it. I talk to my boyfriend all the time on speaker phone and without it. If it's difficult to hear them while driving I recommend having a radio with an aux port. If the radio is Bluetooth compatible just sync it with you're smart phone or use a generic aux cable and plug it into your headphone port on your smartphone. Either way this patches it through your car speakers. This works really well especially if it's windy or bad weather. My bf says when I do that it sounds very clear.

Basically. It functions as your 'output' instead of going to the regular phone speaker or a bluetooth in your ear. Your phone's microphone is still used to catch your voice but your car's audio system is now the equivalent of the earpiece. It is a great little transmitted for the money. Had paid the same for another brand but it was a POS. Set the FM to the right frequency once and you are done.

You can listen to your car's radio while the transmitter is on .But to take a phone call , your car's radio (FM) MUST BE SET TO THE SAME FREQUENCY AS THE TRANSMITTER in order to "hear" who you're speaking with.

ok im a driver (part time) and sometimes i get lucky n have to drive two parties to the same place hence the need for two cars. We used old motorola two ways for a while untill they died out so i bought these, n frankly for what i need they work just fine, they do only work under half a mile with a full battery. I was 5 blocks ahead n i could hear the other driver just fine but once i hit a corner forget it. for what i use it for its fine but dont expect this to be the best source of communication out in the woods and your pretty far apart. Would recommend it for use under a half a mile radius in heavely populated areas. ok im a driver (part time) and sometimes i get lucky n have to drive two parties to the same place hence the need for two cars.

It depends on what you mean by "work". Do they play music? Yes. Can you control the playback (skip songs, pause, volume control, etc)? No. Do they work to make/receive phone calls? No, there is no call audio, the microphone does not work, nothing. The phone does not recognize these as headset, only as a headphone, meaning audio playback only.I just purchased these and have tried them, along with Beats by Dre Studio (also with ControlTalk) and neither work for calls. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Works well with my Ford focus. U do loose a little sound quality, its a little on the tinny (whiney) side, but not bad. I'm still glad I did it. This does not work as a hands free device either. That is you can't use it to talk on the phone. Strictly music/sound media playing only.

I'm not sure but I will try sense I'm in the car with it right now. It did not do anything and I don't think it will work because you need a device to choose or pair it with I'm guessing with a screen, I tried it with my headset and it did nothing, Also I use a wireless hands free talk device and when I get a call it just pause whatever music is on and go to the hands free to answer the call.

Yes. I do it all the time. Everything works when it's plugged in. The sound of navigation apps comes thru the speakers too. It's basically like charging it, or docking it on a radio dock. It's just charging it and redirecting sound to your car. (phone calls wont come thru the speakers just by having it docked...it will if you plug in chord into the headphone jack on the Iphone, and the other end of that wire into the headphone jack on the radio, then switch the mode on the radio).

No, they don't. They are not for phone calls. You can still hear phone ring, but you have to use the phone's mic to answer.

callers hear you with out noise. I drove 65m/h with windows roll down and noise cancellation work very well for me

Mic is available and u can control volume. A button below volume control let's u answer and drop calls while driving.

To be honest, I don't use a lot of voice commands, so I can not give you an good answer, just use the mic for conversations while I'm driving and works fine...

Yes. There's a built-in mic and it picks up conversations happening in the front seat as well as whatever is coming out of your stereo. If your windows are down it'll pick up road noise and other outside sounds, like a siren.

The phone rings through the speakers and you pick it up to to talk. You cannot talk with the phone attached. At least not that I've found.
