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,
//SIGNED//

theBoom noise cancelling headsets for Speech Recognition
Recommended headsets: theBoom “O”, theBoom “C”, theBoom “E”, theBoom Quiet
theBoom’s Speech Recognition legacy
theBoom’s unique, patented technology was forged in the fire of extremely noisy environments of Wall Street trading floors. We, the creators of theBoom (UmeVoice, Inc.), were developing speech recognition software for Wall Street traders. These applications had to be extremely accurate since they performed mission critical functions in real time. As anyone who has used speech recognition software knows, background noise is very undesirable. A solution was required that allowed us to get very high speech recognition accuracy in such environments. Software engineering and linguistic expertise only got us so far towards acceptable accuracy. We had to have a solution that reduced background noise effectively in order to get the accuracy up to acceptable levels.
How theBoom’s technology was invented
We explored all the commercially available solutions for noise cancellation but none of them gave us acceptable speech recognition performance. Our scientists tackled this problem and invented an innovative acoustic solution that was effective even in very high noise environments (such as Blackhawk helicopter noise, Jet engine noise, Wall street trading floor noise). This solution was initially incorporated into telephone handsets which were connected to phone systems as well as desktop computer systems on trading floors. We achieved remarkable levels of success with this solution, obtaining very high levels of speech recognition accuracy.
The technology was miniaturized to fit on a headset, and theBoom was born. theBoom is now available to the public in several models : theBoom v4, theBoom “O”, theBoom "C", theBoom “E”, and theBoom Quiet, that combine varying fit preferences and additional features.
How good is theBoom’s technology for Speech Recognition?
The effectiveness of theBoom technology for speech recognition has been proven using direct speech recognition accuracy studies as well as indirect standard methods such as the Modified Rhyme Test (MRT), both in-house as well as by independent testers including the U.S. military.
Quality Comparison/Measurement Tests
We have performed comparisons of theBoom noise cancelling microphones with several other microphones that feature a range of technologies including active and electronic noise cancelling technologies. One of the objective comparison methods used was the Modified Rhyme Test (MRT), performed independently by us in-house and by the Air Force Research Laboratories (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. These tests showed theCobra microphone featuring theBoom technology to consistently provide higher intelligibility than the M87 and the M138 military microphones respectively.
On the commercial side, KnowBrainer.com compared theBoom microphones with other leading brands. They had this to say: “theBoom tied in first place with the Sennheiser KnowBrainer (Sennheiser ME3) microphone for noise cancelling 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.”
Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking certified with 5 out of 5 Dragons.
How people are using theBoom
theBoom headsets are being used to greatly enhance speech recognition performance for diverse audio applications in noisy environments:
- Desktop speech recognition: With products such as Dragon Naturally Speaking for dictation (Speech to Noise values of up to 23 with theBoom “O”)
- Handheld speech recognition: In industrial warehouses (“Voice picking”) – for inventory control and data gathering
- Direct dictation into mobile digital voice recorders (optionally transcribed to text via Dragon Naturally Speaking)
Other benefits of using theBoom headsets
theBoom headsets are designed with universal connectivity in mind, and can be used with a wide variety of devices. Adapters are available for most cell phones, home and office phones, PC sound cards, PC/Mac USB ports and PDAs.
With theBoom headsets, people can use speech recognition effectively in practically any environment.
