I compared the audio traces from the Logitech with those taken with a Sony PS2 wireless headset and a Radio Shack $19.95 wired cheapo. The distortion in the Logitech traces was pretty apparent. With the Sony (and the R/S) the Windows 7 voice rec software has no trouble distinguishing SH3 voice commands from operating system commands. I haven't measured it, but I'd guess well under 1 in 100 commands......

Maybe that's the answer. I'm using the built in mic - I guess a headset's in order then.....
