WarrenCrow Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have read in literature where these headphones are SKYPE compatible. I have a Thinkpad that still has the mic and speakers on different 3.5mm posts. I am willing to buy the 2 X 1 3.5mm passive cable if that would allow support of these headphones to support the SKYPE 4.2 Windows software. Is the support professed include the ability to answer calls with the buttons like what I suspect works with the IPhones or does this "compatibility" exclude that ability?

WMcD Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm a new fan of Skype. Video calls are magic and the price is right. I use a two-year old laptop with the ordinary earphones and microphone into the 3.5 mm connections. The internal microphone and speaker seem okay too. Vista. My educated guess is that your issue (question) is whether your laptop has the ability to recognize the effects of button pushes on the Klipsch headphone. I would think it does not because the laptop was designed well before such headphone with buttons were designed. Because the hardware can not sense that input, the Skype software, or any software, is not going to respond. But you should ask Lenovo. It seems to me that the Klipsch headphones were designed for some Apple systems (I-phone, maybe others) which sense the inputs.
