PocketNow Reviews the Nextlink Invisio Mobile
"One problem with mobile phone voice communications is that people can be in very noisy environments when they're out and about... Some headset manufacturers have created software based noise canceling headsets that aim to reduce the ambient noise by focusing on the speaker's voice. Nextlink on the other hand has significantly reduced ambient noise by putting the microphone "inside your head" (via bone conduction) where there is no outside noise."
Now THAT is a term that I never imagined I would associate to technology... bone conduction. Nextlink sure isn't short on ideas when it comes to headsets. This latest offering comes with a pricetag that'll set you back more than $300. Is the cost justified? Head on over to PocketNow to get their full opinion.

I'll tell you who WOULD think one of these was worth it - a doctor who wants to dictate his/her notes/reports while driving or doing anything other then sitting in a quiet room without moving. There are some doctors that my company works with who like to do this and their reports come back from the dictation service all full of blank spaces where the transcriber couldn't understand them!

At least they've focused on an aspect of hearing other than air conduction, because ideally, this might be suitable for those with AC hearing difficulties. I'm surprised there aren't more of these out there.

Air conductive. Actually, it's better to reference it as a conductive loss in hearing, in contrast to a sensorineural loss in hearing.
Anyway, this is REALLY off-topic. :lol:

The idea isn't that new. There is a device for swimmers that uses bone conduction which allows them to listen to music while they swim. I read about that in a magazine this month.
