You would have to purchase a separate mobile communications kit through Bose's website. The kit will allow you to take calls while listening to the headphones.Here's a link: http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/accessories/qc2_commkit_acc.jsp

They do not work with the newest iPhone earbuds. One can hear game audio and chat audio, but the in-line mic does not work. I looked around and saw others had this issue as well. It DID work with my older iPhone headphones until those died.

Hi, have already answered this but see no reason why they wouldn't work with the Iphone5, they are good for all receiving devices and the quality and sound are just tremendous. For the price I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them, in fact they do compare to my Bose which I couldn't find when I bought these, have now found them and honestly they are terrific. I like that you can adjust the volume from the headset instead of having to go to our device to do it. Great buy, great quality product.

You should be able to use them with anything. It just states that it has some functions that work with the iPhone for answering calls while listening to music.

U cannot make or receive calls through them if that is ur question. I would only recommend them for listening to music & videos on ur phone. I need 2 warn u. These really thump, they have very deep bass. If u listen 2 jazz or classical these r not the best choice.

Hey! I've only used the mic feature once on my girlfriends iPhone. Seems to only work on apple products. I use android which I can't get the mic to work. It might just be my phone though. When I used it I thought it was good. Nice and clear. I've never been on the other side but I didn't get any complaints from the person.

Yes.... these are awesome..I use them everyday with everything....they can connect to multiple devices also...I have to iphones...one is used for just music no calls...the other is the one i use to call and use the internet....while listening to music on one iphone...if I receive a call....the music fades and the ringtone for my other phone replaces the music...and then I can answer the phone...and when Im done...the music from the opposite device starts playing again without hesitation...I LOVE THESE!!!!

These headphones can be used with an iPhone, but only in a listening capacity. They have no microphone or other control capability. They are not recommended for use with an iPhone. Best use is for mp3, radios, etc.

Yes, I tried it on my daughter's iPhone and you can talk with these. However unless you are paying less than $20.00 I would find another product with higher ratings. This honestly was a bit of a disappointment.

I found this on another site's Q&A--from Bose: answer 8 "Thanks for your question. If you plan to use a mix of Apple and Non-Apple devices, the standard QC20 headphones would be your best choice for a single headset to work with everything. The QC20i is designed with exclusive volume controls for Apple products and it may or may not work correctly on Android, windows or other mobile devices. The QC20 would have no problem working with your Apple devices also, however." http://reviews.bestbuy.com/answers/3545/product/9154082/bose-quietcomfort-20i-acoustic-noise-cancelling-earbud-headphones-questions-answers/questions.htm (this is probably too late to help you, but it might still help others like myself who are still asking this question now!)

like others have said it kinda depends on your needs. Over the years I have had many pairs but have settled on the On Ear recently with the mic. Reasons are: I wanted portability fold into small package for travel, use with iPhone to take calls, control music while working out. They are very comfortable and sound great for the price. Hope this helps!

According to write-up it should work fine through either the USB port or through the BLUETOOTH connection for your Android phone, but I have not tried. Works great for iphone. For iphone there is also an App you can also download (same controls as on the remote). Probably have same App for Android as well. Sound quality is very good. Have it in a small room mounted high on wall so need remote to control it. Sound quality is amazing and like the fact that can adjust sound unlike Bose which is fixed. Only complaints I have is that it does not have battery backup, thus if there is a power outage other than wifi which comes back on just fine you need to reset the radio stations. Second problem would be that it would be nice if it could same Iheartradio stations or other internet radio stations as part of the six pre-sets similar to the Bose.

Noise cancelling? No. They are sound isolating which means they are IEM. If you mean noise cancelling as Bose, no, not at all. Think this one like putting some piece of cotton into ears. Do they have microphone for calls? Yes but I am using this for iPhone 5, I don't know Android side. Support input and output for laptop? Depends. If you use Mac, yes. If you have a laptop which has 1 input for both microphone and headphone, this will work. If your laptop has 2 input for one mic and one head, this won't work (you can use this only as headphone). Mac has 1 input for input and output.

I have the original Bose which is 6 years olds. I learned after a little research that the original Bose won't work with it but the newer ones will. I would only be able to assume if your dock speaker is iPhone compatible, it would. My Bose was designed to work with the old pre-iPhone iPod. Wish it would have worked though, the Bose sits in a closet unused. This solution would have been perfect to resurrect the Bose dock in the bathroom to help get the blood pumping in the AM!

I would call Bose support. I just purchased a Samsung Note II and asked Bose if I could use it with the speaker. They said no, only an iPhone would work.

If I'm not mistaken you can't use it on the iPhone as a transmitter. You use it as a receiver. It will receive music from iPhone and send it to.....for example, your car stereo. If you have Bluetooth headphones or speakers you would use it as a transmitter for example I have an old mixer for DJing and it's not Bluetooth so I put the BTR9 in the jack where the headphones go......now it transmits the music to my headphones. To pair it to your iPhone just turn on the BTR9 then turn ur Bluetooth on on ur iPhone and it should find it. It took a couple of on and off before it read the signal but now that it's hook as soon as I turn on my iPhone or the BTR9 it automatically connects. Hope this was helpful and hope I didn't offend u in anyway by explaining more in depth.
