Headsets

does anyone have any experience w/iListen? the macspeech.com support recommends various headsets, but i wonder if anyone here would recommend their favorite, or if the one that comes w/the program is sufficient.
thanks!

I also work with a product support specialists at iListen. They are using, especially for demonstrations as it is so accurate and noise canceling, our Sennheiser Headset. They are not certifying it as yet because it says it fails their audio setup wizard although works perfectly fine. See this microphone at:

The Andrea USB sound pod is also what they use with this microphone.
