ok...I am not sure what you are asking for. The speaker is bluetooth, so you use your cell phone to dial any number and the speaker rings and has a built in microphone for talking. It works really well. You also have a mute button and volume controls built in that work perfectly and wirelessly to your phone. I was impressed and absolutely love it.

We use this to do conference calls - we connect using Bluetooth to a smart phone ( iphone5). Dial using the smart phone and every one in the room can talk and hear the other end. Sound is good.

I recently purchased the Logitech. While you are able to use the unit to answer incoming calls, it does not have the ability to place calls via voice command. Overall sound quality is great.

No mute control on this model--this is a functional but bare-bones unit.There is a two-level volume switch on the back of the plug that goes into the jack on the phone. However, this would be awkward to use during a phone conversation.

Hello, Re calling out- that is done from your mobile phone or computer. I suppose if you had voice recognition on your cell/computer, you could call out but I think you'd still have to touch your phone. There is no keypad on this headset.Re incoming calls- push the silver button on side of headaet or use your phone to answer.Instructions so good I didn't need to use them. :)

No, and yes. It does not have hands free calling, however in app mode you may be able to access your phone's hands free capability, but to do so you would need to access several menus on the unit which defeats the purpose. Not the unit stores your contact list to make looking up p people to call a little easier. It does come with a wired microphone.

Yes u can voice command, but blue tooth signal is very weak. I would not buy again. Also while the stereo headphones option looks attractive the audio quality leaves a lot to be desired. Hope this helps

No as previously stated there is only one button on the rear. You can answer and end calls but not mute. I just checked the Jawbone website just to be sure and there are several things that you can do with that single button but muting is not one of them.

Hi Sean, voice command works great on android. I'm not sure How's it compare to iphone. What ever your android can do, will do the same via bluetooth. I use it all the time, thus, you have to have a clear english speaking voice. I am asian, and I do studder from time to time, and it can recognized my words pretty good. To use voice command via bluetooth, you have to push the speak icon on the radio , but in my rooted samsung galaxy note 2, I can setup where I can just say the command and it will preformed the task I asked. For android devices, I recommend "Robin, personal assistant" app. Its way better than stock google voice, and Robin will learn more as you play with her. She also have a funny sense of humor. I say its equal or exceed iphone siri. I think with the pioneer mirrorlink adapter, it will unleashed the full potential of your android. It will basically mirror what ever your Android is displaying to the screen of the avhx4600bt. It's like having your phone builtin into the x4600bt. Hope this help.

You may have to activate the voice commands feature. To do that, hold down the volume and call buttons simultaneously until the indicator light blinks twice. This should activate your voice commands.

I bought it for my wife. She loves the GPS but doesn't use the voice command. When talking to someone in the car, the GPS will join the conversation. Sorry I can't help with the voice command.

The pause button works, but the mic and volume control doesn't.The volume control never works with android products (at least from my experiences), however, I think I might have a faulty mic. Don't quote me on that though.

By default voice activation is off. There is a reason for that. Even when it works ok, you don't always want a voice to trigger it.

No, it doesn't work as a multi-function button, nor does it activate Siri or S-Voice (on Android). This is a major bummer about this otherwise nice device. If that is what you need your Bluetooth device to do, look at the Noisehush, or even most cheaper, lesser known brands - usually they do work in that manner. I have tested it on several devices. Although others state they can successfully accomplish it, it hasn't worked for me. I am an electronics engineer - so perhaps mine is defective? That's just my experience. Battery life is quite decent the limited times I have used it (because of the non-activating button). Sound quality is also good.

Same thing happened to me with the charger port. The Jawbone is an odd design with it's hidden controls and general difficulty taking it on and off. Performance wise, I thought it was one of the better ones I've used - but I have a pretty low opinion of these devices in general. I've tried about a half dozen or so, some were completely useless (like the Motorola 700). I had a Jabra that worked well for a month or so then one day it decided it wouldn't hold a charge anymore. But back to the Jawbone, because of the charger issue, I really think the product is flawed. I'm going to give the 510 a try. Same thing happened to me with the charger port.

Sorry for the delay in responding as we were on vacation and just returned today.The hand sets do have a headset plug on the side and a speaker phone mode. I cannot find a headset plug for the larger base (with the digital answering system), but the smaller individual units (as pictured) do have the headset plug. As information, I do like this system. One of the reasons I ordered it is because of the Silent mode. If you do not want to hear the phone ring, you can push the silent mode button and the answering machine will still answer the call - but none of the units nor the base will ring.

The Jabra we have doesn't have that feature. Just an FYI, I have not had complaints from my husband as far as clearness in talking or hearing the other person talk clearly.

I have two Jabra Cruiser units and with my old HTC Touch Pro 2 the Cruisers announced the name of the caller. With my new iphone 4 (Verizon) they don't; they only announce the caller's telephone number ..... and of course by the time the Cruiser has gotten around to starting to announce the number you've probably gotten impatient and glanced at the phone and know who's calling anyway. And if you haven't, by the time the Cruiser has finished reciting the number the call will most likely have gone to voicemail !!! Extremely aggravating.

As far as I know, it doesn't have a voice command feature. One must touch the phone button on it, then speak into the microphone.
