    I've heard good things about UmeVoice - http://www.theboom.com/v/products/index.html

    Plantronics are great for the office, but suck in noisy environments. If you need to hear and be heard, there are alternatives.

    However, it's done passively (e.g. without electronics) in system using a single mic with two openings (pretty flash demo of the tech at: http://www.theboom.com/technology.html ). It was actually designed for voice recognition on the Wall Street trading floor but is now used in Black Hawk helicopters. List the to demo sound files: http://www.theboom.com/theboomO.html

  6. What are the tech specs? by PxM · · Score: 1 · on Headset Uses Bone-Conduction Technology

    How good are bone conduction mics compared to regular ones? I found one that is listed as having 70dB S/N ratio. I'm not sure what the average noise cancelation for normal headsets, but the one I have from that company has a X dB S/N. That's about an order of magnitude better than regular headsets based on my experience. They have some cool demos (check the Blackhawk demo) on their site (annoying popup and quicktime warning). Given that the standard models are only $150, I expect the bone conduction one to be much better to be worth it.
