Review from user dave.galah
Overall Rating: Ease of setup: Ease of use: Value for money:	I purchased this headset to use with Dragon Naturally Speaking and Skype. However, there is virtually no instruction on how to do set this up. If you have some detailed instructions I would appreciate them

I use this headset with Dragon Naturally Speaking & also to answer calls on my mobile(needed a CUIPC1 cable to connect the base unit to the PC). The sound quality really is excellent & the unusual design is very comfortable. If I could only use it with the desk phone without having to unplug form the PC I would be ecstatic but I guess you can't have everything in life & I've searched high & low for something that would do everything (can't use the Sennheiser VMX Office as the mic boom isn't long enough.) I chose it because it had the highest rating by Nuance but your prices were much lower. I like the longer boom with my mobile & have been told by clients that I'm very clear. The battery length is a bonus too.

Overall Rating: Ease of setup: Ease of use: Value for money:	Needed something with endless battery life as I spend all day & part of the evening on the phone. This is perfect - what a great idea to be able to change the battery whilst in use!

Until now, I was just using the BW900 for Dragon dictation, for which it is good. Quite comfortable and accurate. I was disappointed when I first acquired it that I could not use it for both dictation and phone. The literature makes you think you can. You can certainly use it for either, but not for both. There is no way to connect it to both PC and phone and switch between the two. I spent some time trying to find a way to do it (Nuance, which sold me the BW900, was totally unhelpful. That company is the pits as far as customer service goes.) Finally Sennheiser have offered their own solution. I have now acquired the Sennheiser UI760 amplifier, which works a treat. You connect everything through it, and press buttons to either dictate to PC, speak through the headset or speak through the handset (you can also use it for PC-based VOIP, which eliminates the need for a phone set, but then you wouldn't need the UI760 either). I'm still just starting, so I'm tripping up on the buttons, but I'll get the hang of it soon. The only complaint about the UI760 at this stage is that I hear my own voice echoing through the system when I am talking. Otherwise, it's pretty good. I'm looking forward to setting up the phone lifter so that I can just keep the headset on and answer calls by just pressing a button instead of lifting the handset. Thanks very much for your good service. I've bookmarked your site for future reference.

We found the BW 900 to be exceptionally good with NaturallySpeaking. This microphone exhibits exceptionally high accuracy and noise cancellation. One of our favourite aspects of the BW 900 is the auto-level control. Auto-level control is commonly used on digital and analogue recorders but we've never seen it incorporated into a microphone. We tend to run the Audio Setup Wizard at a slightly lower volume level than we should because we are reading. When free-form dictating we tend get a little excited ; not to mention occasionally frustrated, which results in raising our voice. Raising your voice on a typical microphone will have drastic effects on NaturallySpeaking's accuracy but the BW 900s built-in auto-level control catches volume increases and decreases seemingly instantly which translates directly into higher accuracy. The BW 900 auto-level control can't handle extreme volume input changes but it is literally instantaneous. When you factor in slight volume changes that go on throughout the day, we consider this invaluable. Additional perks include the best Bluetooth microphone we've ever used with a mobile phone. This microphone is also good in the wind where even a slight breeze will render most other Bluetooth microphones useless. The BW 900 works exceptionally well with standard landline telephones as well as mobiles and although you can add an optional handset lifter, you may not find it practical for use with dictation because every time you turn on your microphone, the lifter will pick up your telephone headset. We like the hydraulic lifter so we just unplug it while dictating into NaturallySpeaking. Unfortunately not all the news is good. The BW 900 has a 300 foot range but the included rechargeable battery only lasts about 4.5 hours and takes up to 3 hours to acquire a full charge. Fortunately the unit is capable of simultaneously charging a 2nd battery in the base station. If you plan on using this microphone half as much as much as we do, it would be highly advisable to purchase a 2nd inexpensive battery (Bundle 02) and even if your battery goes dead while you are on the phone, you can change it out without losing the connection. Changing the battery couldn't be easier. It's just slides in and out. The Achilles heel of the BW 900 is the headset itself. Like other Bluetooth headsets, it basically clips to your ear with a clever hinged speaker that pinches the interior of your ear canal against the back of the headset which rests on the back of your ear. We are not saying that it's overwhelmingly uncomfortable but because this microphone is clearly designed to handle all your mobile phone and landline needs along with your speech recognition requirements, you could easily be wearing it continuously throughout the workday and in today's workplace, you could even wind up wearing it through lunch and dinner too. The speaker includes 3 spacers and although the medium-sized spacer is the default ring, we found the smallest the most comfortable.
