Can it be used for phone calls does it have a microphone? When you put your phone in Bluetooth mode does it cancel the ability to use the mic on the phone or does it negate it so you can put the headphones on and talk into the phone built-in microphone...

the headset can be used as a phone, but it will mute the mic on the phone itself. Honestly, I think the phone feature is weak ... I no longer even try as the folks I speak with can't hear me well.

It has an auxiliary connection that can be used for smartphones. Just connect that to your phone and have your bluetooth on for talking.

The only way to use the stereo bluetooth to make a phone call is through the mic that is supplied with the unit. This is the only make it truly handsfree.

Jason,This just takes the regular headphones and uses built in mic on SBH50, sorry but you can hook up a mic headset, but it will NOT use that mic, as it will ignore the mic pin, in your headset.Thanks!

Not sure what you mean. The noise cancellation is an on off switch and that's the only way it works. I haven't used this for calls, only listening. I imagine the noise canceling works with calls too.

No, its a speaker and a mic for playing audio and making phone calls through your bluetooth device. Here is the page for the speaker. http://www.outdoortechnology.com/Shop/Buckshot/

It can be used in the place of a Bluetooth headset , the sound quality coming out is pretty good . I use it for very short convos while on the go , if I plan to talk for long periods of time I use my headset or connect to the car

I don't use it for my phone either. Like the other respondent said, you have to have a phone that has a little hole somewhere on it for such things. I use it for my Bluetooth earpiece. I guess that's a little odd, but I lost one before (a Bluetooth earpiece), so this way, I never lose it.

In my opinion, it isn't really designed for phone calls. First, the mic is on a back of speakers and duality of sound is lower for phone, than for music.At least for my Motorolla phone. But for listening music it is great.

There are adapters which will convert the plug from the headset to a phone. That said, it won't function as surround-sound and whatnot since that feature comes from the audio hardware in the base. You can use it will a phone though to make calls and whatnot.

No you cant, because once you plugin the microphone the phone will automatically detect it as a headphones/earphone.

It depends on what you want to do. If you are looking for hands-free talking, then the answer is, "No". However, should you have the headphones plugged into your cellphone, say for listening to music, and should someone phone you during that time, the telephone will ring through the headphones. You can then answer as usual and talk over the phone as usual (that is with the voice reception device close to your mouth) while listening to the caller over the headphones (gives very clear reception by the way).

I use Android and on my phone there are separate bluetooth profiles for "Phone audio" and "Media Audio", so when pairing the Bluetrip with the phone you can select whether you want to use it for phone calls, music, or both. Not sure if this also applies to your phone, but since bluetooth is an open standard, I'd assume so.

It has a BlueTooth so most cell phones can connect to it but it does not have a 3.5 connector. It has a USB connector on the end of it. If you have it plugged into a USB port, it will power the headset. So you could use it in the car connected to your phone using BlueTooth as long as it is connect to a USB port. I haven't used it in the car because it has covers for both ears. I haven't tried to sleep with it. I might break if I accidentally slept on top of it. I haven't tried jogging with it on pulled into a USB battery. Because of the noise canceling mic, I would like to test it. If I use earbud with a mic, people can hear the jogging noise. I've had it for a about 6 months and use it everyday. It's extremely durable and still sounds great. The noise cancelling mic is pretty amazing.

You can't just use it as a mic amp for your phoneYou can use it while talking on the phone and the conversation will be amplified but other than that just use it for music

I don't completely understand your question. I think you refer the microphone into the headset, if so, I can tell you that works perfectly. I can listen to music in my cell phone and answer the call without problems. I recommend the headset 100%.

It does. But it's used primarily for sampling the noise in order for it to select the best noise cancelling profile. It is also used in monitor mode so you can hear the the person talking to you or listening to ambient sounds. It can't be used to make/receive calls (ex. When connected to an iPhone or Android).
