[Tennessee Redneck]

Until today, the only professional quality high fidelity stereo speech recognitionheadphone on the market (that we have been able to find) was theBoomQuite. Other companies such as Logitech and Plantronics market stereo headsetsbut the sound input and output quality is mediocre at best, making them reasonably suited to gaming and VoIP applications but not optimal for speech recognition.

TheBoom Quiet previously filled this gapand is ideally suited for travelers because it completely covers your ears andproduces white noise to block out unwanted sounds; similar to the famous BoseQuietComfort headphones. However, theBoom Quiet's extra weight and batteryrequirement isn't everyone's cup of tea. A number of our speech recognitionclients have been asking for a lighter battery free system that could be comfortably worn all day while listening to music. After passing that request onto UmeVoice, they came up with theBoomPro-3 which as of this date, is only available on the KnowBrainer website. Even the manufacturer won't have this microphone on their website for at least 2 more weeks.
