Where does voice control work best and what factors that can impact Voice control:
Voice control is an amazing, freeing experience. Imagine plopping your phone in your backpack, and then controlling
your music and answering a call, all without ever taking your hands off the handlebars of your bike. Like any
technology, it also has some limitations and will work better under some conditions than others.
For example, voice control will generally work very well in quieter situations like your home office, or when running,
hiking, or riding on quieter streets or trails. Even the noise of a passing car or average office noise is not usually a
problem. Some testers have reported that even while riding a bike on the busy streets of Munich, voice controls worked
surprisingly well. Your mileage may vary.
Generally speaking, walking or running along very noisy streets, or sitting in a bustling café will reduce the ability of
the earphone to “hear” you when you speak, and may reduce accuracy of voice commands. You may also experience
a higher incidence of “false triggers” where the voice control triggers even though you didn’t speak the wake words
“Hey Skullcandy”.
In noisier environments, you may have to speak the voice commands more loudly or may need to repeat them. If your
environment becomes loud enough, voice controls may not respond regardless of how loudly you speak. How loud is
too loud? Likely, if you have a hard time hearing someone else speak to you, it’s probably going to be hard for the
earphone to hear you, too.
Wind also creates intense aerodynamic turbulence that can overload the microphones needed to pick up your
voice. Voice Control will generally work in winds up to 8MPH, but you may have to raise your voice. Voice control
success in winds higher than 8MPH will depend on wind direction and other factors, like which earphone is being
used as the microphone for voice control.
For example, running an 8-minute mile in calm conditions produces the equivalent of an 8MPH
headwind. Racing downhill on a mountain bike is much higher, and voice control may not work in these cases, or
when you are in a windy situation.
