Philips has long been on the leading edge of products for the professional requiring the highest quality in dictation. The PSM6000 series is their most serious foray into the wireless headset market. While unquestionably in unique price range for a headset, without doubt this is the most outstanding wireless headset we have ever seen.

What makes it unique are several features:

Studio quality microphone element: the SpeechOne headset has been specially designed to match the needs of users who frequently use dictation or speech recognition to create documents. The premium decoupled microphone offers crystal-clear recordings, perfect for accurate transcriptions.
Lossless wireless technology: What this means is that despite the need to compress the audio signal when it is transmitted from your headset to the receiver and your computer, the decompression happens in such a way that there is no loss of information. Behind the scenes, audio files consist of sound and of silences. Lossless formats compress the silences to almost zero space while maintaining all of the sound data. The result is practical wireless transmission but no loss of audio data.
Comfort and hygiene: the comfort of this device is achieved through a variety of design features, including: a) 360 degree rotation of the boom so it can be worn on either ear b) exchangeable, magnetic ear and head cushions, c) three wearing styles (classic, neckband, and ear-free) and d) Antimicrobial boom and remote control (inhibits the ability of microorganisms to grow)
Convenience: It includes a wireless charger, has a 12 hour "recording" life (100 hours of standby), has a 16 ft. range, and includes a "status light" which is used to alert those around you when you are dictating or on a call when used with internet telephone. An optional "remote control" allows push-button control of a number of computer and dictation-related functions. For the mobile user not wanting to carry the charging base, an optional "AirBridge" USB dongle can serve as the sole connection on the computer

Three Configurations: The SpeechOne is bundled by Philips in 3 ways, depending upon your intended use and needs:

PSM6300: This is the basic bundle and includes the headset, charging base, USB cord, and status light. Price $469.
PSM6500: In addition to the basic stuff, this bundle adds the remote control which is a device akin to a standard SpeechMike which offers buttons which can be programmed for a variety of purposes. Price $589
PSM6800: The includes everything in the PSM6500 bundle, plus the SpeechExec Pro dicatation software. Price $699

Our Take: If you can afford it (yes, it's pricey) and need the best quality speech recognition and internet telephony results in a wireless format, the SpeechOne is the way to go. It truly has no competition. We don't believe most users will need the remote control, but this is an option.

We bought this for our dental hygienist. It replaced an older headset. She was having trouble with Windows Voice Recognition interfacing with our dental software. Far fewer problems now.
