I have read a couple of review about the ability for the PB2's to answer calls from the in-line remote. Has there been any issues? How about Siri?

The only issue that I found on the PB2 is the sync when watching movies the lips and voice don't match, but I really didn't care. As it doesn't really show much, and if you play with it a little you can actually fix it. Such as pause an play the video a lot. Siri works perfectly fine.

I have had the opportunity to answer and hang-up on a call through these headphones and overall that worked fine using the inline remote and microphone. The one thing I did notice is that there is a bit of a delay between the phone and the headphones (same issue as with video being out of sync of audio), and this sometimes results in both ends of the phone call talking simultaneously for a bit. Siri works just fine with these by holding down the center button.

Works with mine. Have to say "voice commands", that activates Siri and go from there.

I haven't seen a way to use Siri with it. Hitting the main button goes to answer calls and there is nothing in the instructions about it. That said I found it just takes a little time to learn to hit the buttons with gloves on. It will also accept certain voice commands like skip song. Hope this helps.

I usually use bluetooth but have used it as handheld as well as speakerphone without any problems that I know of.

Well Jeffrey, I went through a pain in the ass time trying to get a replacement remote. I will just tell you, you will never get one from Pyle or Amazon. I am still trying to this day to get one or find one. Amazon returned half of the amount I paid for the speaker because that was the only solution they were able to come to. As far as tring to use a universal remote Amazon recommend as a solution...I have not found a universal remote that will work with the speaker. I even went as far as saying I would buy another speaker just to get another remote. I was told the speaker was discontinued and Amazon would no longer be carrying it. Long story short, I still do not have a remote. Pyle could care less about your sittuation. If I can find the phone number I will post it.

Hi..sorry for the delay. I'd never tried to use Siri with my headset. I can confirm Siri can be activated from the headset. I still haven't found anything better and more useful than these headsets for phone, intercom and TV watching/listening.

I have the iPhone4s, I had complete remote control though my radio and iPhone, but with the past update from apple I lost that function. No firmware updates from pioneer. My suggestion is to find a local retailer and try your phone on the floor model, then buy it online like me.

Yes it does. I actually didn't know originally. I had to try that out to find out. I'm glad you asked about that because now I know I can use the remote to activate Siri.

PPS.....everyone please IGNORE my ignorance. Page 28 on my owners manual showed me the "switch" I needed to turn on this feature to automatically reject ANY & ALL out of area or no number calls. At my age I still refuse to read a manual...had it coming I suppose :-))

No problem. I was wondering the same things when I bought mine, but I got it at such a low price I risked it. It really is an awesome speaker system. Dont let the reviews about needing the remote scare you. If you loose the remote, you just control it from your phone.

Funny you mention it. I've read a few people stating so, not many though. I think people are more worried about hearing others, not others hearing them. However, this is the key feature I'm looking for. I'm trying to replace my Panasonic KX-TG2730, which my Dad can't hear me on at all. I thought he was going deaf, until a house guest called me at work from my phone and I realized it's been my phone the whole time. I have numerous other people asking me to speak up too. I would like this phone, it's got excellent reviews, but I'm going to do a little more research first.

How Siri responds may depend on your phone or vocal accent, according to a friend who has a regional accent. My LG 800 microphone works great for phone conversations. Siri works very good also. The only problem I have is the LG automatically defaults to last number recall when first connecting until I place a call using the IPhone voice command via the actual IPhone. After the first voice command using the phone, the LG wireless works fine for all other commands.

I just tried my system and could not detect any difference in the interval between rings, I did notice that there appeared to be a very slight delay from the calling phone to my base phone ring ( used my cell phone to call panasonic, both in front of me ) not enough to be a problem. Have had no issues with my unit and really like it. Problem could be on the phone company side maybe, do not recall anything in the manual addressing this.

I tested this out via my 2-line system...i.e. I called my 2nd line from the 1st line as well as using the base unit's speaker phone...and we could both talk at the same time w/o any loss of communication. Perhaps communicating with other speakerphone brands the results may be different but via my Panasonic units we have no problem.

Yes. My mom has an answering machine that still works. I beg to differ with one of the answers. In fact, you CAN answer incoming calls with the button.

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.

You can't use Siri with this device. I too was confused in the same way by the poor product description on this page. I emailed the company and they said this model is not compatible with Siri, you have to get the older 5 button model for that.
