Anyone use these with Google talk? If so, how's the microphone quality? I get tired of people saying what? can't hear you. Noisy/scratchy background, etc. I would like to make works call on them.

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good. I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys. Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

I have not experienced this problem, if using them with SKYPE, check your settings.

I wired them into my factory tweets. But honestly shop around. I used to have spl1's and loved them. These spl4's are garbage. No real clear high range. If you can find spl1's go for it. I've also had good luck with power acoustic tweets.

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.

What mics are you using.. feedback not only has to do with the speaker position, but mainly with type of mic

I ultimately returned the pair I bought. The headphones worked, but the mic on my pair didn't. I probably had a bad set. I bought a plantronics headset, and was much happier.

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

My friends say the mic is a bit muffled but clearly understandable. I use them on Skype and TS both.

I have my setup as external as well and I don't have an issue with hearing the calls. It may be an issue with the device itself. You can try and do a firmware update to it via Pioneer's site to see if that corrects the issue. Also the MIC could be in a bad position as well..

Sorry, I just saw this message. Everything seems to work fine, EXCEPT, there is a clicking noise that is constant while you are talking and extremely annoying. However, I do not know if it is the phone I also bought or the Basic Talk. Hope this helps.

@ 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.

My android experience, callers could not hear me! It may vary slightly from android makes, but you'll be gambling; which is why the "android compatible" phones you see in stores are simply a single-button headset!

Hello, I am about to purchase these for use in my cell phone (palm pre). I listen to music (streaming radio and mp3's) all day while at work. I work in a 10x10 cubicle with high walls. Is the sound leaking high enough that it may bother my co-workers? I do not listen to music very loud because I have tennitus which loud noises aggrivates. Also do you have any experience using these with 128kbps sound files? I know that is low, but it is what most streaming music is sent in. Thanks,

Yes, I used mine for about a year successfully as a speakerphone, then suddenly nearly everyone I spoke with couldn't hear me clearly anymore. Works okay initially, but not reliable for me.

I just received a pair, and wrote about it here before I saw this. Your story sounds just like mine. Sound is terrible. I wrote Amazon about it. I guess I'll see what they (Amazon) are made of. As what to do. Send them an email. Look for "Contact Us" on one of the help pages.

Good luck getting these to work at all. We ended up just throwing them out. We have been using Skype and the previous version of these phones for years. There is no customer support. As you will find if you google, these often just do not work and nobody will respond to your questions.

The microphone is meh. It works well inside on phone calls. It works poorly if there is ambient noise wind, music, etc. I've had many comments from people, "could you please report that ,it seemed garbled."
