![]() ![]() Headsets with noise-cancelling earphones tend to be rather heavy, and can be uncomfortable if wearing for long periods of time. Unfortunately it is not possible to find a headset that has the high-level noise-cancelling properties in the microphone that Dragon needs in order to produce a high level of recognition accuracy, as well as noise-cancelling earphones. For Dragon's performance, it is all about the noise-cancelling properties of the microphone not the earphones. Sometimes there is confusion between a noise-cancelling microphone, and noise-cancelling earphones/headphones. However it is important to be aware that although a binaural headset will reduce the amount of background noise you hear, it won't reduce the noise that Dragon hears, because that is all about the noise-cancelling properties of the microphone, not the earphones. Some like a binaural headset to block out some of the background noise. If you have a monaural mic you will probably need to take it off less often, as one ear will be free when you need it. Most people prefer a monaural headset so they can hear themselves dictating and what is going on around them in the office, and have an ear free for speaking to colleagues and answering the phone when required. Monaural means one earpiece, binaural maeans two. I say generally speaking, because this is not always the case as other performance dimensions of the mic will also impact on performance. Generally speaking, a wireless mic with a basestation will perform better than one with a dongle, and one with a dongle will perform better than a mic that connects to the computer via bluetooth. Having said that, if you are keen to use a wireless microphone because of the convenience, some high quality wireless mics are available with performance levels that are very close to those of the highest quality corded mics. This does not mean that all corded mics will perform better than all wireless mics, but that a high-quality corded mic will perform better than most wireless mics. Using a wireless microphone will not offer any advantage in terms of performance, and will probably not perform quite as well as a corded mic in terms of speed and reliability. Audio-Technica ATR-3350iS Lav Mic: 20ft cord: great if you need the extra cord, but makes the mic bulky. Wireless mics are also useful for anyone who has difficulty putting the mic on and off, as once it is on you can leave your desk without having to take the mic off. That is, you might prefer the convenience of not having a cord. ![]() The only reason to chose a wireless microphone would be because it is wireless. We generally recommend corded rather than wireless microphones for affordability, recognition accuracy, speed and reliability.
