I understand that to be true generally, but there are people who have had success with headsets in less than ideal conditions, all they do require general quiet. Again, I've only read of others' experiences, so this is hearsay; however, I gather that ordinary noises (e.g. a neighbor's lawn mower) are standable. Playing a TV loudly wouldn't be. I guess it depends on the children <gg>. Again, hearsay. I'm not an authority; just relating what I've gathered here and there. Spots

My experience has been a bit different. The software I've played with "learns" the user's voice by recognizing frequency and tonality patterns. You can "re-train" it for other voices as well. Audio signals which don't match the patterns are filtered out. Additionally, use of a microphone w/ a very tight directional pattern (hyper-cardioid being the tightest) should filter out most of the background. An omni-directional would give the worst results. -MrB
