VXI TalkPro USB 200 Binaural Microphone

Note: This product is out of production and we have limited numbers in stock. We are completely out of the similar single-speaker TalkPro USB 100.

The full featured TalkPro USB 200 incorporates two key technologies to achieve superior microphone performance: sophisticated noise canceling microphone proven to ensure higher speech recognition accuracy and VXI's innovative, Digital Signal Processing technology which heightens audio performance by converting the headset's microphone signal from analog to digital, thereby providing a signal that is completely compatible within the computer's digital environment. Also features volume control, microphone mute, and quick disconnect.

Features:

• Superior quality noise canceling microphone
• Easy to use: simple plug and play USB connection
• All day wearing comfort
• Flexible microphone boom stays in position
• Adjustable headband for great fit
• swivel ear piece and soft cupped ear cushion
• Left or right side microphone placement
• Durable components for long headset life
• For Windows 98SE, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows XP and Mac OS 9.1 and higher
• Two year unconditional warranty

Comments: This is a highly reliable, good quality microphone for use with speech recognition software. Because of the USB interface you need not worry about sound card compatability issues and, in addition, you can expect good compatability with both a Windows Vista machine and with a Macintosh. The only difference between this microphone and the TalkPro USB 100 is that this microphone has two speakers. Be aware, though, that this does not provide actual stereo sound - both speakers provide the identical sound.

VXI Xpressway Specification Sheet

Comments: We were skeptical about this microphone given its very modest cost, but were very pleasantly surprised at its performance. Not only is it highly accurate when used with Dragon, but it's also extremely good at external noise rejection. It comes with 3 mounting platforms: an ear only mount, a typical over-the-head mount, and an around-the-back of the head mount. We found the back of the head mounting platform very stiff and uncomfortable (it seems to have been designed for a childs head), but the traditional headset mounting was both comfortable and stable. Remember that this microphone requires a Bluetooth equipped PC (or an adapter such as the Iogear GBU 421 Bluetooth dongle.)
