I don' t use the one from the adapter. I use my soundblaster audigy external sound card. I dont have the hands free call until they come out with some sort of bluetooth option fro streetdeck. Pretty much will never be!

So just to get this straight if I plug in the andrea through the usb. I can't use the software with noise canceling but if I plug this into the mic in and use the line out for my audio I can use some other echo canceling software. Is this right or am I mistaken? thanks in advance.

It has a mic and a usb adapter that the mic plugs into then the adapter then plugs in your computer by usb instead of the mic port. They sell it without the usb adapter for $59.99, but you wont have noise -canceling. you have to have the adapter and voice- canceling software to work well in noise environments. http://www.andreaelectronics.com/Buy...mic_bundle.htm

Isnt this the same one sold in the mp3car store for 59.99 with the usb??

you can use the andrea software for noise canceling and echo when using the usb not the when using mic input. You have to have the usb adapter part for the microphone.

When plugged straight into the line in, it becomes just like any other decent mic and yes, should work with 3rd party software just as well as any other mic would.
