In the past we've always compared the Sennheiser ME3 to other microphones because it was the crème de la crème of the microphone world. This is no longer the case.
theBoom tied in first place with the Hybrid Sennheiser KnowBrainer (Sennheiser ME3) microphone for noise canceling but significantly bested the ME3 in accuracy. Although each of our test subjects produced different accuracy scores, they all had one thing in common. All test subjects scored 2% higher accuracy with theBoom. The average test subject scored 96% accuracy with the Sennheisers and 98% with theBooms which roughly translates into 50% less errors with theBoom microphone. Only the higher priced Hybrid Plantronics CS55 wireless telephone/microphone bested theBoom with 99% accuracy in a relatively quiet environment. However theBoom bested the CS55 in noisy environments.
theBoom microphone also includes additional amenities such as:
1. Headset speaker
2. Sleek design
3. Lightweight and rugged construction (weighs less than 1 ounce)
4. Can be used with PC/VoIP as well as most cell phones and wireless landlines
5. Soft pliable parts that can be bent for custom fit
6. Microphone mute switch and volume control
7. Includes a $15 PC cable and cell phone cable.
