I would try this. It's going to be a little hard to explain, but you might want to try squeezing the entire housing of the remote between thumb and pointer or middle finger, but place whatever finger on the back of the remote, where the mic is housed, a little further down on the housing. You might also try using your fingernail to find the mic. It'll feel like a little knick on the side of the housing opposite the buttons. Place your finger that will be on that side of the housing when activating Siri beneath that knick, and you should be fine. Personally, I've not had problems with Siri when using wireed headset mics. Where I run into trouble with Siri is when I'm using my LG HBS 700 bluetooth headset. I don't think that's Siri's fault, though.
