Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can use the included wire and have it wired to a device. I have my XM4's wired to my pc's speakers (I built the pc myself and it's refusing to use the bluetooth for some reason. That's why I'm using it wired.) I am currently using it for my class's Zoom calls and works just fine. The mic is built into the headphones, not in the wire. The wire just provides the jack. I didn't have them "turn on" like I would if being used as bluetooth headphones, but still functions if that makes sense.
