Amen. Anybody buying these, that really needs one, will find themselves using it more than they thought they would.
It's got good pickup too. I have walked around a dozen or so graveyards (family genealogy research) with one on my belt making notes to myself and taking pics, and I don't have to hold it up to my face to talk into and look stupid (plus it frees my hands to mess with the camera).
Instead, I just walk around looking like I'm talking to myself.
