Its a professional mic so it is expensive at around $200, but I personally think its worth it to have good accuracy speech recognition and the ability to move away from your robot and still be able to verbally control it. With this mic (correctly set) I can control background music (volume etc) and robot motor noises etc do not cause any problems with speech recognition.
@Toymaker, Can you recommend a particular brand of microphone. I am looking to get one soon.
Thanks,
Rex
Rex, I get outstanding performance and speech recognition accuracy with the Revolabs Xtag wireless microphone

Thanks, I will look in to it.
I use an ebay Bluetooth microphone
Sits in my year - like the ones for cell phones. Works great! I think it was around $15
