Does Dragon Dictate 3.0 favor one headset over another, if so what is the best head set?

My experience dictates : ) success when using Plantronics DSP-V3. I have used two others with varying success however it may also depend on your voice, diction, inflection, accent, and training the program to understand YOU. Quite honestly I find the Apple voice recognition software included with Mountain Lion and I presume Mavericks to work equally as well as Dragon Dictate. Apple provides far superior customer service. Dragon virtually none! Save a couple hundred bucks with less frustration.

I've owned bose, harmon kardan, and varios other headsets. Kransens work as well or better, for me. As usual, wind is the big factor.

My wife uses it to call me on Google talk so I'd say yes. Dragon is a Speech Recognition software. It does have 2 - 3.5 mm jacks, one for the mic, one for the headset. Hope this helps.

This one is monaural, but the base stations can be used with different headsets. So someone might sell a 9460 base station with a bi-aural headset. We have bought some bin-aural sets to replace the mono sets.

Interesting question... If it is your voice that has been trained on Dragon and it's your voice on the old audio tapes, I would think yes! If not, you could try it; as my daughter picked up my headset once and her voice transcribed pretty well without being trained. You may want to call : 1-888-831-0088 ask for Mike

This is a juicy question. All headset surround sound is 'virtual' -- digital signal processing is used to give you a surround sound experience. I won't get into the math. That said, it is extremely effective, more so than having a typical home theater set-up with multiple speakers. Because your left ear only hears the left channel, and the right ear only hears the right channel, a headset can deliver a really immersive and accurate surround sound signal. There are people who will argue all day long that you need to have multiple speakers in a headset for 'true' surround sound, but actually sticking a bunch of speakers in a small space like that is more likely to create audio chaos than quality surround sound. Trust me on this, I work at a headset company. I wear them when I play and the quality of the surround is amazing. You can also read reviews of our headsets ... the writers all say the same.

Thanks for responding and commenting on this headset. I will definitely get one.

Yes, the headsets vary according to the packaging, but mine was nice with a mic that folds up and is flexible, kinda like a bendable straw, I felt like it was a free gift for what I paid for it.

I would suggest the 363D for surround sound, otherwise I would stick with the 350 (I really like these headsets).

I don't know. Quite frankly, these headsets were so unreliable because of its quirky, inconsistent USB port, I've stopped using them. Your experience might be different. Mine was different EACH time I "powered" on the headset.

It depends on which headset you own. I have astro a40s and my wife has astro a50s, and both allow you to adjust the volume of chat and game. While the a50s have 2 different volume controls (1 for chat, 1 for game) the a40s have one overall volume knob, and a 2nd knob that lets you adjust what you hear. Turn it all the way left and you won't hear chat, all the way right and no game volume...you're free to adjust it to your liking. (I find that different games require different volume/chat levels)

This headset is based on DT770. As far as music goes, it has a different sound signature than DT880. This headset will have more pronounced bass and recessed mids, while DT880 is the most neutral Beyer on this tier. If you want to read more, there's a great article on head-fi called "Sonic Differences between DT770-DT990 models": http://www.head-fi.org/t/513393/guide-sonic-differences-between-dt770-dt990-models-more . For gaming, this headset is likely to be more "fun" (immersive).

I am just "learning the ropes" about using this headset so I honestly could not tell you. Sorry I could not give you a better response.

What is the CS70N headset? I've had no problem with my Plantronics Voyager headset - I love it, mater of factly, I'm lost without it. I find the ear buds to be very comfortable, more comfortable than any I've had in the past - clarity is the best, love the fit. I've never tried to put the eartips on another pair of headsets.

THe Head set is very functional, and we provide them to all of our Clients who use the Dragon software. We have sold dozens without any complaints

It works just as good nothing special. I use my headset with no problem. I'd also invest in a different DAC this one simply doesn't have many benefits.

Both, and you can use just one, but I think I recall that both works better (I'm currently using a different headset).
