So are the mics always on or do you have to push button to speak?

You have to push a button on the mic base to speak. A red ring at the mic head and a green LED in the base switch light up to indicate the unit is on. These are wireless mics, so there is a delay to talk after you push the button.

Check out their website. I think the addition of a speaker Mic is addressed there. Sorry, but i don't remember the details.

I've only used it "push to talk" but I don't think VOX is available with the speaker/mic. aside from that I'm not impressed by this speaker/mic. It seems that the speaker is not very loud - even with volume cranked to the max. Unplug the speaker/mic and internal speaker is louder.

Can you turn off the voice over effect on the microphone or is it always on?

The Push To Talk button is actually two buttons. Pressing the top half of the button will actually transmit at full power, but if you press the bottom half it transmits in a low power setting. This is used if you know your party is close and you want to preserve battery life. Try again making sure you are both pressing the top of the Push To Talk button. Edit: I forgot to add that Channels 1, 2, and 3, are FRS channels and will only transmit in low power no matter which half of the button is pressed. Make sure you are on a GMRS channel (4 or higher).

yes, you just push the side button and hold it down to talk.then release it to hear the other person talk.

There is no actually mute button on the device. The only way I can think of muting your mic is through the game you are running.

Only one person can talk at a time but both the other units will hear. The way they work, when the button is depressed it is in transmit mode and when released it goes into receive mode. So if two people are pressing the buttons at the same time they will not be able to hear what the others are saying.

The mic is fine. No one has ever complained about not being able to hear or understand me. My only issue was w the ear pieces and the volume automatically changing

The mic and ground lines are reversed. so you need an adapter or rewire it to use the mic. If you don't need the mic you can press and hold the mic button (can use the included clip to do this).

Lori,The Headset microphone can be pushed all the way up when your not using it. Best headset I've ever used

No, the mic has up and down buttons for scanning through channels and a high and low frequency output button. The radio has clear sound and plenty of volume. I'm happy with it.

There's no on/off switch. The only way to shut it off, unfortunately, is to unplug it. As for your other question: I do not know. I've never used the mic with anything more than a karaoke machine.

No, they do not. the sound does, but it will use the built-in microphone no matter what, so if you don't want it for the mic, you're fine, but if you want the mic, I can't help you
