Ziotek Headset Microphone

This is an inexpensive yet surprisingly well-functioning headset microphone that is offered as an alternative for the occasional user of speech recognition software.

Features:

• Nickel-plated 3.5mm stereo jacks
• Swiveling earpieces for maximum comfort
• flexible omnidirectional boom microphone
• Adjustable headband
• Volume control

Comments: Although this is departure from our usual emphasis, this is a suprisingly good microphone which you might consider for your aging grandfather hopelessly wanting to Skype or for your 8-year-old that loses or breaks everything within a day or two. Its downsides? It's not very ruged, the boom is a bit flimsy, and it comes with no specific warranty. The upside? It's inexpensive and works remarkably well with speech recognition software. In fact, in testing this microphone we were amazed at its external noise rejection characteristics.

Warranty: 2 weeks (Standard Speech Recognition Solutions no questions asked return policy)
