Anyone interested in a larynx headset?
by Elizabeth Blair York | March 5th, 2008Ever wanted to run around with one of those larynx microphones attached to your neck like Keanu Reeves’ moved Speed? Well, RoadRunner has just released their Bluetooth Communicator that does just that.
It is a regular Bluetooth headset that connects to your cell phone normally - except that you wear this one around your neck instead of on your ear. The microphone “hears” the vibrations from your larynx in your throat. To listen, there is a piece that connects up to your ear.
If you’re wondering why anyone would want one (and I did!) - the larynx headset is not susceptible to any outside noises. It is a good device for loud venues or sensitive situations where you wouldn’t want the background noise telegraphed to the person you are speaking to - like concerts, conferences, or even the back of on a motorcycle.
It’s selling in the UK and EU for about $80.

I tried to find a review of the Roadrunner, but it seems as though nobody ever reported about his experiences.
Could you report on the pros and cons. I am also interested in buying this thing, although from an esthetic point of view there are a lot better headsets out there.
I am especially interested in the following, but any further information is appriciated:
-quality of incoming calls, radio, mp3
-quality of outgoing calls (outdoor, windy and indoors in crowded places)
-how well it fits on the neck and in the ear and under a helmet (ski, motorcycle)
-how comfortable is it when wearing for hours
-voice command recognition (ideally with Nokia N95)
-etc.
