I drive a Roush Mustang convertible and until I acquired my theBoom headset was unable to hear or be heard while driving due to the excessive vehicle and wind noise. It was difficult to talk whether the top was up or down.
Since I received my headset from your company, I have been able to talk in every imaginable circumstance, including top down, wind in my hair. Your headset works so well that I am no longer a Bluetooth guy. In fact, I finally retired my Bluetooth headset when I repeatedly found myself walking to my car to trade my Bluetooth headset for my theBoom headset for the sake of better call clarity by far. Now, I don't even bother with the Bluetooth.
In most circumstances, my callers don't believe I am not in a quiet office and I have to unplug the headset to demonstrate the actual noisy circumstances I am in. My ability to hear clearly and, most importantly, be heard clearly by my valued clients has put the finishing touch on my mobile warrior tool kit. Thank you so much for your fine product. I could not function without it!
Sincerely,
Tom Waters

The BOOM headset is the BEST headset I ever purchased ... BAR NONE !
I make a lot of long distance calls around the world . It took me a while to find the right combination of service provider and cell phone model to get the best clarity. Then , finally came the headset .
The BOOM headset sound quality and clarity was head and shoulders above ANYTHING else !
I tested the noise cancellation performance of this unit . First I called an international phone number (using the headset) . Then , when I confirmed with the other person the connection , sound quality , and clarity . I then disconnected the headset and talked directly into my cell phone ... 2 inches from a revving city bus engine .
The result ? Completely incoherent !
Then I re-connected the BOOM headset back onto my cell phone ... still only 2 inches from the same revving city bus engine , and voila ! Complete & clear comprehension !
I'm SOLD on this unit after this personal test , and am recommending it to all my friends who want only the best .
Sincerely

I just received my O`boom microphone and tried it out for about two hours with my Dragon Naturally Speaking software version 9. I had been using both the standard microphone that came with the software and my top-of-the-line hello direct wireless headset and although they worked quite well I can already tell that my accuracy will be far improved with the ability to speak quite softly which was not at all possible with the other microphones. I'm very critical of anything I get and to have something this pleasing is all I can say 'so sweet'. Since I'm going to be dictating extensively for the news on my website the time saved makes this a very cheap investment.
sincerely yours, thank you,

theBoom for Professional Truckers ----- theBoom Quiet
Click to see all testimonials
I have received my theBoom Quiet and am totally pleased with what I have found. After reading a couple of the reviews about it available on your website prior to purchasing it, I was looking forward to trying it for myself. The reason I specifically looked for a product like this in the first place is because I am an over-the-road truck driver and I have found that the motor and road noise in my cab while operating at highway speed has been a serious interference with my cell phone communications. I often talk with my wife and daughters, as well as my dispatcher and other people at my company. I have been continually frustrated, and so have they, by our inability to talk over the noise.
The first test I have done with my theBoom Quiet was to get on my very noisy riding lawnmower out in my yard and call my wife. She and I could hear each other perfectly over the noise. Then I tried whispering to her and she could still hear me as if I were in the quietest of places. I was amazed. From this simple test I am quite sure that the same results will happen when I get back in my truck this week. I am looking forward to sharing this technology with the others that I talk to and hearing their reactions.
Also would like to add that your service in my purchase of the product was excellent too, which I appreciated very much. The package arrived on time with the special adapter needed for my Nokia 6102i cell phone, and all the other accessories that were included, and the overall quality of the product was obvious at first sight.
Thank you very much,

I wanted to write to you personally and tell you how much we enjoy using the Bone Conduction Boom headsets we purchased from your company. These amazing headsets allow for a much safer working atmosphere while the aircraft maintenance teams are performing engine running cargo off/on load functions. The headset permits constant communication with personnel during all phase of the launch and recovery of aircraft, no matter how loud the conditions are. This incredible feature provides us with the ability to warn each other of unsafe condition or problem in real time.
These remarkable headsets allow for constant radio monitoring. The Bone Conduction Boom headsets shape and design allows for wear of your helmet or ear defenders and/or ear plugs and still communicate with minimal background noise. With the Bone Conduction Boom headsets you are able to hear radio information over the sound of loud equipment or aircraft engines. This can be extremely useful in a war environment where you may not be able to hear the base loud speakers system warning you of attack. With Bone Conduction Boom headsets you will be able to hear information immediately, which could save your life and of those around you.
I look forward to using Bone Conduction Boom headsets every time I deploy!
Sincerely,

FAQs
Q: Will theBoom help the person I'm calling hear me clearly no matter where I am?
A: theBoom will help the other party hear you better than any technology available on the market today.
Q: Will theBoom help me hear the person on the other end of the phone?
A: theBoom will help you hear the other person better in loud environments compared to most competing products as we have incorporated a high-quality speaker into the earpiece of theBoom and an ear-gel that allows the sound to go directly into the ear.
Q: Do I have to speak loudly when I'm in a noisy environment in order for theBoom to work?
A: You can speak in a normal tone of voice. In fact, privacy is one of the key benefits of theBoom. In a noisy place (e.g. a restaurant, bar, or hotel lobby) the person sitting next to you may not be able to hear what you are saying, but the person on the other end of the line will. Though it is counter-intuitive to speak softly in a noisy environment, you will quickly realize how effective and valuable this capability is.
theBoom's noise cancelling technology has been proven on Wall Street trading floors with UmeVoice's speech recognition application for traders. You can use theBoom to communicate clearly even in such an environment without having to shout.
Q: Will the person I'm on the phone with be able to figure out where I am?
A: Maybe, but it will be difficult. theBoom blocks out most background noise in virtually any environment. The person on the other end of your call will hear you clearly without the distraction of outside noise. Thus, theBoom will give you the ability and comfort to make business (as well as personal) calls wherever you are. You will not need to repeat yourself.
Q: Does theBoom enhance the built-in voice recognition capabilities of my cell phone and computer speech recognition products?
A: Yes. You will find that theBoom dramatically improves the effectiveness of any voice recognition system you use. The microphone technology was designed by UmeVoice to enable our engineers to implement the only succesful desktop trading system to be used by many of the top 10 Wall Street broker dealers for speech recognition. Many tests have proven that the accuracy of voice recognition is greatly increased using this microphone.
Q: How much noise does it cancel?
A: theBoom's unique patented noise cancelling technology allows it to be used effectively even in noise levels above 100 dB. To get an idea of how clear you sound in noise from a blackhawk helicopter, listen to the demo.
Q: Can I use theBoom while driving? how about in a convertible?
A: Yes. theBoom allows you to have a normal conversation even with the windows down and with the radio on - even in a convertible. Check out our demo of theBoom in a convertible.
Q: But other cell phone headset manufacturers claim that their products have noise-canceling capabilities. How is theBoom different?
A: Many cell phone headsets achieve some noise canceling because they use a type of microphone with inherent noise-canceling properties: a two-port microphone. But these microphones only perform well over a narrow bandwidth. theBoom’s technology, however, enables our product to provide clarity across the entire speech bandwidth in noisy environments. This clarity gives you the confidence to use theBoom anywhere, no other technology gives this freedom.
Q: Which phones are compatible with theBoom?
A: theBoom works with most phones - including all cell phones, handsets, and cordless phones that use a standard 2.5 mm headset jack. We also have adaptors that connect to most cell phones that use proprietary jacks including: Motorola, Nokia, Siemens, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Blackberry, and Apple iPhone. Additionally, theBoom also works with many office landline phones, PCs, PDAs, and global satellite phones. TheBoom's "universal connector" allows it to be plugged into any of these devices by using a different adaptor for each device (cell phone/home phone/PC etc). You can use one headset with several of your devices - no need to spend the extra money for several headsets. All you have to do is switch the adapter cord. If you have questions regarding a specific phone, please email customerservice@theboom.com.
theBoom comes with a standard 2.5mm headset adaptor that will fit most popular cell phones. Other adapters can be purchased in our online store. Please call or email us to inquire about any special needs.
Q: Can I use theBoom with any desk phone/telephone?
A: Some landline phones come with a standard 2.5mm headset jack for use with headsets. For those that do not, you can purchase a Plantronics amplifier and a theBoom landline adapter to make theBoom work with any desk phone.
Q: Is theBoom bluetooth/wireless yet?
A: No. Our bluetooth version is currently under development, but it's still some time away from production. UmeVoice’s primary concern is clarity. When we are convinced that the clarity of the bluetooth model is not compromised, we will release a wireless theBoom. Please visit our website for updates on new product releases.
Q: How does it compare with Bluetooth headsets?
A: theBoom headsets provide superior audio quality for clear communication even in noisy environments. Current bluetooth headsets do not match up to the audio clarity and noise cancelling ability of theBoom. theBoom was selected as "Laptop magazine editor's choice" over several bluetooth headsets. We get many bluetooth customers that subsequently purchase theBoom because they are unable to use their bluetooth headsets in any type of noise.
Q: How comfortable is theBoom v4?
A: theBoom is designed to be lightweight and comfortable. The total weight, including the cord, is about 1oz. So that you can wear it continuously while you are mobile.
Q: Can you please explain to me the differences between theBoom O, v4, C, and E?
A: All the headsets that we sell offer the same high quality mic with the same unparalleled noise cancelling technology invented at UmeVoice. The main difference between the 4 headsets is the way you wear the headset. Please see our comparison chart and product pages for more info on each of these headsets.
Q: What makes theBoom E cost three times as much as theBoom O?
A: theBoom E is custom made at our lab to the customer's spec. It uses a special speaker driver and a coiled bud that can be specified for the right or left ear. The unit rests comfortably on both ears and is made of a plastic tube that goes behind your head for use all day. The flex boom can be attached to the left or right depending on what you specify on your order.
Q: Why does theBoom cost more than most cell phone headsets?
A: theBoom uses the finest materials (magnesium, extra-soft rubber, and magnets) to make a high quality product. We have put together the world’s best industrial design, with dramatic patented technology to give you the best performance possible. We’ve taken special care to allow for fine-tuning and personalization, requiring many moving parts.
Q: I work in an open office where we are all on the phone a lot. Which headset would be best suited for me?
A: theBoom Quiet combines theBoom's noise cancelling microphone technology with a pair of high quality noise cancelling headphones. You will be heard clearly at the other end while being able to clearly hear and focus on the person at the other end of the phone.
Q: What are those funny little foam balls?
A: They are windscreens. In windy conditions it is essential to use a windscreen. For placement, gently pull the windscreen over the microphone piece.
