DE component of ZVOX 555 - really works well? Is there anyone out there who has tried the ZVOX 555 and found that the DE really does significantly improve the clarity of voice?

I have similar problems hearing dialog (high frequency sound loss). When my wife and I would watch movies, many, many times I would have to ask the wife "what did he say?". I had a bose 5.1 surround system, and tried adjusting sound (treble etc.) on the tv to help but it was no help. I was researching sound bars for the main purpose of helping me understand, and came across the 555. It has been remarkable. When I received, I tried each mode, and was getting a little worried that although it was better, I was still having a little trouble with dialog. Then, I engaged the DE and there was a huge difference for me. I have gone from many times not knowing what the heck is going on in a movie, to hardly EVER missing a word. No two people will have the exact same hearing level, so you will get differing opinions. That said, it has the 30 day return policy, and I have to recommend trying it.

My experience has been very good. We've used it for a guest dance teacher on the floor with music playing and only her voice is coming through. We set the microphone about 2" to the side of the mouth and it seems to only pick up the voice. We have the gain set very low.

I would also like to know whether anyone is using Dragon for the same purpose. I purchased a Sony Ditigal Voice Recorder ICD-UX70 a while ago which claims to be compatible with Dragon NaturallySpeaking software. Has anyone been successful transcribing teleconferences (lots of different voices)?

I believe you would have no problem with it being so low.Its a big improvement from the TV speakers,especialy at its low price.Im very satisfied with the ZVOX.

I'm not sure where you learned of a voice changer, so let me give you the "voice" functions that exist on this recorder as far as I know. There are VCVA (variable control voice actuation), which is where the recorder runs only if there is sound to record; voice sync, which is an alternate control quite similar to VCVA but more configurable; voice detect, which attempts to extract only the voice portions of a recording; voice playback, which plays back only the extracted voice portions; voice balancer, which raises the volume of low-volume parts of the recording; and voice filter, which cleans up the sound for more clarity. There are also scene functions to make recording better fit the characteristics of an environment or to adjust environmental sounds during playback of an existing recording. If anything, this little recorder has "too many" functions. It is pretty amazing, what they can do these days. I hope some of this information is helpful to you.

Sometimes, while I'm talking to my friends, if they start talking while I'm speaking, I can hear my voice on their end. And honestly I sound amazingly clear. Like a-whole-nother person. Everyone can hear you clearly and I'm pretty sure it will work well with your Rosetta Stone. :)

The zvox 580 is simply a larger, more powerful version of the zvox 555. They both feature Dolby digital decoding, digital and analog inputs, and all the same sound adjustments. The zvox 555 has 5 front facing speakers and one 5.25" subwoofer. The zvox 580 is considerably larger and has 5 front facing speakers with dual 6.5" subwoofers. The 580 gets much louder and puts out much more powerful sound, with better bass. The 555 sounds great as well, but if you have the room and extra money, the 580 is well worth it.

I have not tried either, yet I believe it works as a general mike. Since I use it for a vocal disability, it should work fine, yet I am unable to use it on Skype, Rosseta, Dragon, or other Application Programs, but only because my disability.

So good that it cuts off your own voice so that the person you called is asking you to repeat what you said cause your words are dropping out especially while driving a car or outside in the wind. I didn't have that problem with the old era jawbone. I can hear them perfectly crystal clear but my voice is now choppy and distant on a consistent basis. I am so dissatisfied I am considering returning and asking them to send me the older version. The troubleshooting on the website directs you to plug in to redo stuff like pair and sync but I am not a software tech and not enthusiastic about havin to figure it out and engineer it to get it to work properly out of the box.

Sorry I can;t really help you out there, I have never used the Beyerdynamic's DT-770. I would be interested in hearing your input on the H6. The ones I had really stunk. I'm beginning to wonder if they were defective, and they never tested them. Seems pretty lame for B&O; to not test them. I can't imagine anyone using them for anything beyond a door stop.

Hi, I was very satisfied with it and still love it!!! It can be made very loud and clear. I would recommend it. I have mild to moderate hearing loss in both ears and this machine worked great :) Hope you like it too.

Yes it does. It also improved the accuracy of my Dragon Naturally Speaking to about 98%. I use it all the time now.

yes, the DE dramatically improves dialog, so we now rarely miss a word in movies, even those with lots of background noise or music.Suggest you turn the DE off, however, to fully appreciate music without vocals.

Yes. I just bought it for exactly that purpose because Nuance's website has this rated as one of their best performing digital recorders with Dragon Naturally Speaking. Google "Nuance hardware compatibility list" and you can read their recommendations. I tested the DVT1000 last night with Dragon Naturally Speaking Premium 12 (Academic Version) and after doing the required setup, I was amazed at how well it performed. Super accurate. I recommend it.

There are a lot of different applications that can make a difference. The room dimensions, your seating placement (distance from speakers), speaker configuration and so on. The main thing is to have a balanced speaker set up. The voice clarity from the DV-52CLR-B is unbelievable. I have a 7.2 system and is powered by a Pioneer ELITE SC-61 receiver. I use the DV-52CLR-B as my center, (2) DV-62si for mains, (4) DV32' for my side and rear surrounds and (2) PDR 80 subs and it is INTENSE. You cannot go wrong either way. Hope this helps.

I have used this mike with a Sony IC stereo voice recorder. It works great! However, even at the highest recording quality, it will not quite match a more professional microphone at the low and high end... however it is totally outstanding for recording voice... and the stereo separation is very good for a combo microphone.

The AX3040 works great I also use the Behringer XENYX 1202 12 - input mixer it gives you more control over the voice quality.
