Frequently asked questions
It opened the wrong microphone.
Pick your headset from the microphone list above the meter; the test reopens with that device. The name of the device in use is shown in the results.
My Bluetooth headset sounds terrible when the microphone is on.
That is Bluetooth working as designed. Opening the microphone forces the headset into the hands-free profile, which is mono and low bandwidth. Music sounds bad in that mode; it recovers once the microphone is released.
Is the Headset Microphone Test free, or is there a paid tier?
Free, unlimited, and no email address required. You can use it a hundred times a day and nothing changes.
Does anything I enter leave my computer?
No. The Headset Microphone Test runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your input never reaches inputtesthub.com or any third party — open your browser's Network tab while you use it and you will see no request go out.
Who is the Headset Microphone Test for?
The jobs it is built for: checking a gaming headset microphone before a session. Confirming a USB headset is selected rather than the laptop's built-in microphone. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
Why does the test start on its own?
No installation, no extension and no driver. The Headset Microphone Test uses the browser's own device APIs and begins as soon as the page loads, so there is nothing to press first. Press Reset at any point to start over with a clean slate.
