anyone owns the xoundpods can confirm the following:
1. if used for calls, with both pods connected, need to take out one to speak into as mic?
i think the pickup pattern kinda sucks.
2. above situation, speak through phone mic still works?
I don't have to take one out to use as a Mic but yes, the pickup pattern sucks. People usually can't hear me and even if I take out one side it sounds horrible still.
As for the phone mic, it depends on what phone. The iPhone doesn't let you select the mic independently but I believe some Android phones can.
