Best wired headset ever
User: Stanley Anderson, Dec 7, 2006
Pros:
Incredible noise cancellation
Cons:
Pricey; Long-term durability still debatable
I have owned several models of "TheBoom" including the original model, the most recent v4 rendition as well as TheBoom Quiet. All perform beyond expectation with regard to noise cancellation. Sometimes it seems simply amazing that a headset can be so effective regardless of the environment. To not be able to hear yourself talk yet be heard clearly on the other end seems almost unbelievable but is the standard for this headset.
My only gripe has been with durability. My original boom ultimately failed due to the mouthpiece drooping too much to be of use. The newer models have alleviated this problem.
I had a minor issue making sure there was a good match between my Treo and the headset (I had some echo using TheBoom Quiet with my 650 due to the particular connecting wire used between the headset and the phone. It was fixed promptly by UmeVoice!)
Overall, I'd say it's hard to go wrong with this headset. If the ability to limit noise is what you require, you won't find a better headset.
Impedance problem with 700p
User: Gene Gerwin, Jan 9, 2008
Pros:
Great noise reduction
Cons:
Crackles.. disconnects calls
I bought two of these and experienced the same problem with both- crackling and call disconnections. I called Ume directly and was told that there is an impedance mismatch with the Treo 700p. They have to customize the adapter to make it work properly.
Ive been trying to get a corrected adapter for 4 months straight now. Ive noticed you can no longer find the tech support number for Ume on their website.
