![]() Prior to this I was dictating with a USB 3-in-1 TableMike on one computer and a 6-in-1 TableMike on another, I have also recently used a Sennheiser MB Pro 2, and a Speechware FlexyMike and MultiAdapter combination. I am providing a brief review following receipt of my Philips SpeechOne headset. There are 3 models but only one that really works.Ĭhange "No" to "Know" w/ KnowBrainer 2022 PS: We just noted that you are in Australia so it would be less expensive to purchase the Sennheiser MB Pro1 UC locally but make certain it is the Sennheiser MB Pro1 UC model and not the Sennheiser MB Pro1 UC/ML. If you're looking for a more rugged TableMike, you might consider checking out the inexpensive SoundTech GN-USB-2 TableMike.ĭid you know that your existing Philips Premium 3710 can be used as a TableMike with a 4 foot range in Dragon 15? If you purchased that microphone from us, you additionally received our exclusive table stand, which we included no cost. It's very pretty (even looks rugged) but in our opinion, too expensive, too little, too late. ![]() Now you know why we passed on offering the PSM6000 SpeechOne headset. The MB Pro1 UC is “completely” wireless, lighter and the battery runs 16 hours. The MB Pro1 also works on your cell phone and is truly mobile while the PSM6000 SpeechOne can't do that either. By comparison, the existing Sennheiser MB Pro1 UC, which we rate #1 only requires the included tiny USB Bluetooth dongle that you can plug in and forget. It is more than double the price of the Sennheiser MB Pro1 UC, features less memory, charges slower but most importantly requires a USB docking station which makes it impractical for tablet and notebook computers. The Philips PSM6000 SpeechOne headset looks like it would be a potentially accurate microphone but we have a few problems. Only reason I switched was that (a) I already needed the travel-mike setup for my 2-in-1 that I use to take notes in court (the philips specs are quite open about their mikes needing surplus RAM and a decent CPU), and (b) the 3710 has run into problems with its input cord and now tends to drop in and out, and needs fixing (I think the socket has taken too much wear, from my toddler yanking the cord out at speed).īut these days the 2-in-1's actually have enough RAM and power to use Philips with Dragon just fine, so Philips is back on the menu. I used to like the Philips 3710 as my 'laptop that's portable, but more grunt than a 2-in-1' mike - I actually think they're the best actual microphones of the lot, and it's a real pity that they only made handhelds (due to lawyers being so IT-deficient that they need something that looks comfortably similar to the dictaphones that we use because as a profession, we're still not quite confident enough using Microsoft Word to do our own typing). Trying to decide now whether to go for yet another speechware pod (they all break the same way, through my mishandling, but when it happened 3 times, I kinda have to accept that I'm probably too stuck in my ways to rely on the reasoning that "it's my own fault, therefore I won't keep doing it over and over again". Just managed to break my 3rd speechware USB, which I use in conjunction with audio-technica headset on my laptop (tablemike on desktop) & 2-in-1. Is there a reason why it's not sold here? Or is it just that it's new-ish and hasn't been tried yet? ![]() is it of similar quality to the handheld range)? I was really excited to see them finally make a non-handheld, as part of their digital dictation range, and that they're promoting it as their new flagship product.īut I'm worried by the lack of reviews (other than cut-and-paste adverts in disguise), and that it's not had any mention at all here. Question is: does anyone know whether the new Philips PSM6000 Speech One headset is any good (i.e.
