Re: Superbowl commercial for Bridgestone features parabolic mic

Dan,
Thanks for sharing it.

In the past I had asked people about its feedback, but had failed to find
anyone who had used it.

The person in the advt. seems to be handholding and moving it up and down
to the level of the basket ball. Price wise it is costlier than the
Telinga.

I am wondering whether the person in the advt. was using a Lil' Ears as the
minimum distance is 3 feet and in case of Big Ears it is 5 feet. The
Parabola size for Big Ears is 23 inch. How do you find its performance?

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
