Are there any specs for the mic? Is it any better than the mic on a standard set of Apple earbuds?

I don't believe so because I did not open the box. I have earbuds (not Apple) and the Koss are far superior to my earbuds.

I never tried the apple earbuds but I think they work. I just know that my skullcandy headphones and aux chord wouldn't fit

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.

I use these on my iPhone 5s but there is no Mic or controls. They are just high end earbuds. I use the apple ones for calls and these for music at home, running, and at the gym. They are amazing!

I have used these earbuds on iPhone 4S, iPad 4th gen, and MacBook Pro. They work well on all my devices. Can't really speak to iPad Air. Sorry.

I think the quality of the sound the mic transmits is better than the sound of the headphones. These are not audiophile by any means.

what makes it specifically for idevices is its 3 button controls that allow you to control the volume, play/pause answer calls. it will amplify the sound of anything you can plug the headphone jack in, but if it isnt "Icompatible" you cant control the volume of play/pause from it. so if you just want it to amplify the sound its great for anything. i'm not sure if the mic works with other things though, never tried it on anything but my iphone.

If you have a iphone 5, or 5s they optimized the sound quality on the bose ae2, oe2 and IE2. My ae2 replaced my apple earbuds 2nd and my studios. I recommend if you have iphone 5 if not then try other phones that hAve it optimized

They are in ear buds and keep a lot of noise out. Voices for sure, not sure on loud speakers.I would agree with D. Dwyer. I am super impressed with the mic. Noise canceling is OK. The volume control only works with Apple products.

This model does have a mic on it, and of good quality. Also a play/pause button if that's what you want to use it for. The only difference between having one on these earbuds and not having one is the price, as it is cheaper without it.

Stick to anything else. After receiving two pairs through warranty i was able to get a refund through amazon today. The product is severely defective and i am just lucky i could get my $80 back. Try apple earpods with mic or some of those skull candy ones. much cheaper and don't brake as easily. Also for the price there isn't a significant difference in sound quality. hope this helps if you have any questions just ask i went through three pairs so ill know.

The mic only has one button (for pause/play, Siri, skip), sorry. Unlike the apple earbuds or the 50/50s, you gotta use the device to control volume.

I use them with my iPad since they seem to have a decent microphone. My adult son says they sound fine and it keeps his side of the conversation on Skype private.

Good quality using the standard earbuds.I have swum for more than an hour with no problem at all

On the the set I got, the earphones were pretty good but in a couple of different test environments the microphone quality appeared so poor that I returned them after about 20 minutes testing; I need a headset, not a pair of earphones. Sample defect? Maybe, but I'm not interested in wasting time on bad quality control.

I would give it a solid "decent". I believe I was expecting better, and looked for something else. In the course of trying more expensive Sennheiser, B&W;, Beats models, I came to feel the less than perfect isolation was way more than offset by everything else. Audio quality is fabulous and so is the design and fit and finish. Let me know how you go on this. Ed
