I concur with Todd. Plantronics products are general good if not great for microphone needs of any variety.

Todd, I would suggest some of the higher end Labtech mics would be an option. They are what Dragon used to sell with voice recog. programs. Another is almost ANY Plantronics mic. I use a bluetooth enabled Plantronics mic in conjunction with a very cheap Belkin bluetooth dongle purchased at OfficeMax (they have a good selection of wired and bluetooth mics, including Plantronics). I don't work for Plantronics or own stock...LOL. It's just that my very first cordless phone back in '84-'85 was a Plantronics Liteset built such that the numbered keypad had a belt clip and it was wired to a "headset" comparable in size and sound to today's better bluetooth earpieces. I've used several headsets and earpieces since then but none has had better quality than the different Plantronics I've owned. The one I have now is used to switch between Dragon and my home phone or between my home and cell phones. Good luck to your friend. Everyone has their own tastes and needs. Hope this was helpful.

His voice does tend to change some while he's talking so the cheaper microphones don't work very good. He can't use a regular headset but something like a Bluetooth for a cell phone might work or something on the desk. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Todd Canaday
