I guess I am confused - what does the mic option do? Does it work like a Bluetooth headset? Or . . . ? Sorry - new headphone user . . .

You use the mic to talk on the phone or speak into your phone if you are using voice to text for example.

Didn't try it but my suggestion for you is to look for another device. Even the cheapest headset I've had for 20$ was way better than this one. Just an advice.

nope. forced to use mic on device only. Looking everywhere for a bt module that allows that. Headset with mic will still work for sound, but no mic.Would be ok if the mic wasn't so bad when a headphone/headset was plugged in. It's bad firmware because the mic works very well when using as a mini "phone" or speakerphone. I have bought two, and both have the same issue.

Mic? The actual headset? The plug they give you is quite universal so i assume it works

Did you ever find one a bluetooth or headset that works? I am having a similar problem. My ears and canals are small, so nothing seems to stay on my ear. I was thinking about trying a bluetooth that has headphones that go over your head or behind your neck, have you tried this type? I agree that they need to make these child size as well!

First off figure out if your Desktop/laptop has bluetooth compatability. If not, you need to buy a bluetooth adapter for your laptop/desktop. Instructions will come the adapter. Sadly The sound quality is very poor when you connect it to the laptop....I'm not sure if I'm doing somthing but I wish you best of luck if u decide to purchase an adaptor. I own this headset and a Touchscreen HP Windows 8.1 Pavilion. So again I wish you best of luck.

My headphone pair worked fine. I always turn on the headset on first and wait for the 2nd beep (the one that lets you know that the headphones are searchable), i go to my device and turn on it's blue tooth and look for RevJams. That's the name of my blue tooth headset. It might be yours too. Anyway, try turning on the headset first and then the device's bluetooth. Hope that helps! :)

I've tried both an ordinary headphone and a cellphone combined microphone/headphone. For the latter, the microphone is always recognized but the headphone doesn't always work (i.e. laptop continues using the external speakers). The same problem for ordinary headphone, sometimes it is recognized, sometimes not. It's the only irritating issue with this laptop, of course I'm not sure if I should use a specific type of headphone on this new jack.

Hi Jenna, While I don't find the sound quality very good the ways I've gotten sound are like this. If I am on my computer (windows laptop) I activate the "Pixpo Viewer" software. Usually I have my headset plugged in and it automatically will let me hear the monitor. I'm not sure however if it is reading the plug for the headphones and turning on the sound or if the sound is just always on. On my phone (iphone 4S) I open the app and when I have the picture I touch the outside of the screen, which then shows some icons around the border. Along the bottom is an speaker icon. If you touch that it turns on the sound. In order to broadcast (talk) through the monitor press and hold the microphone icon. The software is not at all user friendly, and help is pretty much non-existent. I would not buy this product again as it is not at all simple to set up or figure out how to use. There is a blue light on the camera that sometimes blinks continuously and sometimes doesn't blink at all and I have yet to figure that out or how to get it to send my a msg when it detects sound or movement. Hope this helps -

I did not use the mic input, sorry. Only headphone jack. And it stopped working after less than a week. Sound now goes in and out. And sometimes doesn't work at all. Have to unplug and plug in my headphones several times to get it to work. Suffering it out til the new one I ordered comes in.

Guess it is noise cancelling, according to other users. I use the headset at least once, sometimes several times a day, to interview people, talk to friends hands-free, etc. Plantronics has been an industry leader for decades and occasionally puts out a product I've not liked for some minor flaw, but generally this company is the best.

I would assume if your headphones are bluetooth. But honestly I would look for a different product. I was very unhappy with this one

Its a bluetooth device..so to be able to listen to it u have a phone or iPod or any device that have Bluetooth....let's say you do have a device and having trouble connecting ..go to your phone or device that u want to hear music from and go to your settings ..in the settings should be a tab saying Bluetooth press it and on the top of the screen should say "discover" press that and it will go on "discovery mode".. Now get the headphones and hold down the power button until you hear connected ..then you should be all done...very good head phones and battery life is very good

This headset appears to be for smart phones based on some terms in the product description. There are headsets with mikes for PCs with a USB or dual plug connection. I bought these for gaming in case I wanted to do multi-player ( talk to someone ). When I saw your question, I had to check it out. Although the mike won't work on PC, they still rock for music and gaming.

I tried this and it did not work. I plugged the headphones into the microphone jack on a desktop computer running Windows XP. I went to the control panel to test if the mic was working and it was not. It doesn't seem to work this way. But I have been using the headphones for quite some time now and they are excellent. Very good sound! And the mic works great during calls also.
