Well, there's no going back to iOS 7 on your iPhone 6 Plus. Update your iPhone 5S to iOS 8.2 and then test the voice recognition feature and compare the results with the iPhone 6 Plus. If it works well, then I recommend you restore your iPhone 6 Plus and set it up as new. Afterwards, test the voice recognition feature. If it works well, great, if the results are the same, make a Genius Bar appointment to have them diagnose the problem for you.

What, exactly, is the issue? Is it not understanding you, or not hearing you?

I have an iPhone 5. With iOS8.x up through 8.1.3, "Hey Siri" would work in my car when plugged in under almost all conditions. Now, with iOS 8.2, if there is any ambient noise, Siri fails to activate. It doesn't hear me over the ambient noise now. Note that there was no hardware change.
