Over the years we have tested bluetooth microphones from Sennheiser, Jabra, Plantronics, VXI and a host of other companies. We have to date not found a Bluetooth mic that we are completely happy with. The booms are too short on most or pairing issues occur or noise cancellation is unacceptable. Accuracy could be better.
We do carry the VXI BlueParrott Xpressway
http://www.knowbrainer.com/NewStore/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=442&idcategory=16 because we found it to be the best pick of the bunch and so many of our physician clients demanded that one be on the website. As you can see from the picture this is by no means a low profile cute bluetooth mic but the longer boom is what makes it a better performer.
We also carry the Plantronics Savi 440
http://www.knowbrainer.com/NewStore/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=406&idcategory=16 but this mic is not a true Bluetooth microphone, it?s actually 6.9 GHz. It has a cradle for charging that can be left behind. Plug your DECT 6 USB soundcard into a tablet or laptop and go to patient rooms with no wire or cradle. The mic also has an option for a hot swappable battery. The downside is noise cancellation, it?s not very good so either the patient rooms or other evvironment needs to be quiet. A lot of Docs have come to us for these but it?s still not perfect.
Lastly we have been Beta testing a wireless mic that will soon be offered from Andrea electronics called the Andrea WNC-1500 Wireless Headset
http://www.knowbrainer.com/NewStore/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=452&idcategory=16 . This is again not truly bluetooth but runs off a 2.4 GHZ Wireless USB Soundcard. We found this mic to have very good accuracy, noise cancellation, connectivity and a very low price. The downside is the mic has two speakers and may be a bit large for patient rooms producing the DORK look that doctors don?t want. We have suggested that they go from two speakers to one and cut off any bulk possible before going into full production.
