About the Microphone

The Third Generation FlexyMike Dual Ear Cardioid - FMKDEC - is a lightweight (about 25g.) stainless steel headset microphone designed specifically for speech recognition. Manufactured in the style of a traditional headband, the frame is covered with injected rubber protectors that covers both ears for maximum working comfort. An extremely flexible gooseneck and cardioid microphone enables the consistent positioning of the microphone capsule and superior recognition accuracy with Dragon NaturallySpeaking® and other speech recognition and audio applications. New to the second generation device is an adjustable headband to assure the best fit and comfort.
Unlike the 2nd generation model and in response to a request from Speech Recgnition Solutions, the third gen model has been manufactured with a slightly stiffer and 1/2 inch shorter boom to deal with an issue of the 1st and 2nd generation boom being a bit too long and floppy. We consider this a great improvement.

At the core of this microphone is a microphone element of the highest quality, with a unidirectional "cardioid" polar pattern which provides excellent isolation from ambient noise and effective noise control from adjacent sound. Its distinguishing clarity in close talk operation and excellent gain before feedback make it suitable for all mobile situations.

The FlexyMike Dual Ear Cardioid - DEC has a polished 1m/40" long cable sheathed with durable transparent plastic, along with a standard 3.5 mm gold-plated jack. It has a very high performance and noise rejection microphone capsule which is acoustically matched for maximum performance with the SpeechWare USB MultiAdapter and Speech recognition or VoIP applications. It also works well with the Andrea Pure Audio MA USB adapter.

Unlike many headsets, this product does not include a speaker and wraps over the user's ears and around the back of the head, rather than over the top of the head. The result is an extremely stable fit, and the full exposure of the user's ears, allowing for situational awareness and concurrent use of a telephone.

Comments: we were astounded at the performance of the first generation FlexyMike Dual Ear Cardioid microphone. When combined with the SpeechWare MultiAdapter (our highest quality external USB adapter) we witnessed the best accuracy we had ever seen with a headset, even surpassing the Sennheiser ME3, our previous "gold standard". This third-generation model adds a slightly shorter and stiffer boom to prevent the boom from moving with rapid movements of your head.

In addition to its outstanding accuracy and external noise rejection, this product is so lightweight that you will forget that you are wearing it.

Regarding an external USB adapter, you can expect the best possible results when combined with the SpeechWare USB MultiAdapter (save money by purchasing the combination product - see "Related Products" below), but this microphone will also show excellent results with the Andrea Pure Audio MA USB adapter.

One final note: the basic microphone includes a cord which is about 3 ft in length. This is perfect for laptop users. In case you plan to use this with a desktop computer located on the floor, it also includes a 79 inch accessory cord to extend the length.

7/20/2017 – I currently have the Sennheiser ME3 which I have been using for years. I wear spectacles and I assume that the SpeechWare FlexyMike fits over the spectacle frames without causing discomfort.

Response From Speech Recognition Solutions: I find the SpeechWare FlexyMike fits me well without causing discomfort due to my spectacles.
