R. ok, so there's not the problem of pointing the mic to the mouth 
all the time.

anton, no I haven't. I'm unsure if some of these problems are solvable 
in software

I bought a really cheap mic recently - I think it was $3 - and the 
frequency range is abysmal.

Right, sound is pressure, it falls of with distance,  although th 
edesign itself makes it somewhat directional, it is really not.

Mics have dropped in price, just like optics for cameras...but $3 
is still TOO CHEAP.  Pay $50+ and you will get a good mic.  I always 
trust Plantronics for headsets.

the Lanier mic obviously has a tight dynamic range.

I have bougfht maybe several hundred mics and headsets over teh yers.

Plantronics - noted.

My headset (earbuds) are Etymontics (about $400+)

I also have Shures (about $500+) I use them for slightly diff purposes.

The ER 4 are pretty good.  And I like traveling with them.

those are out of my price range for the moment, but noted for future 
reference. :)

They dropped in price ($299) so you can get them now for probably 
$200+, which is a great deal.

I can go up to around $150 for that sort of thing.

I know it is tough to make that jump, but if you care about sound, 
you can never go back to normal Sony or Panasonic type earburs.

They also have a -35 dB drop, so they REALLY work well on Planes.

oh don't say that - I won't be able to sleep.

huh :) still no one to be seen at the devcon.

Must be good food there :)

Or captured by police :)

Either way, the Parisian landscape is deadly..
