Two Air Force Officers’ real-life success stories
- By Harv Laser

TAKING IT TO A (MUCH) HIGHER LEVEL:

But what if the noise around you IS literally deafening? What if your job requires you to communicate with others, hear them clearly, and clearly BE heard, but you also have to wear ear protection? What if others’ lives literally depend on clear, two-way communication?

This is the predicament in which many people find themselves. Wall Street stock floor traders. Race car drivers. Factory workers. Power plant employees. But especially, those brave souls in our military.

These men and women, whether in training or in combat, work with, work in, and are surrounded by machinery built not for comfort, but to get a job done.. a job that’s not only dangerous, but machinery that is insanely loud.. a job that requires the highest-quality equipment, especially communications hardware.

Enter the UmeVoice Bone Conduction Headset. (The “BCH”), and the UmeVoice Cobra Mic.

theBoom Bone Conduction Headset page

The BCH, at a base price of $499.99, is a no-nonsense device, designed with a different form factor than UmeVoice’s consumer-level headsets, and it employs a totally different approach to the hearing component of communications, built like the proverbial tank, it’s designed specifically for very difficult, very noisy, and often very dangerous situations, where clear communications are an absolute must.

This all-black bad boy is built both to stand and deliver.

A light-weight black box, about 3” wide, 5” tall, and just under 1” thick holds its electronics, and a pair of AA batteries under a slide-open door. A very solid, black belt clip is screwed to one side. There’s only one control on the box: a small, black on / off slide switch. Up top on the business end, you’ll find a threaded, chrome-plated BNC connector, a small red LED power indicator lamp, and a chrome-plated jack into which you pop a cable to connect to your phone or communications radio. On the example I was sent, because I was testing the BCH with Palm Treo cell phones, that jack came with a two foot cable that terminated on both ends with a 2.5mm male plug. UmeVoice offers different size plugs, depending on what kind of phone or radio you need to jack the BCH to.
