what kind of headphones are really good - mommyto3


Posted: May 24, 2013

Just wondering what kind of headphones are really good.  I am using Dictaphone headphone and I love them but they are about to die on me.  I have tried others in the past and the sound quality isn't that great.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A bit costly, but best work-related accessory I've ever bought. Going on 2+ years and no signs of wear/tear, still comfy as hell.

I purchased a headset from NewEgg.com on line. They have a lot to choose from and different prices. Mine is a Sennheiser HD 202. It was about $30 and well worth it and is noise canceling too. It covers your ears totally and might need to get used to that but I hear all the dictations well. Some of the reviews say that the material on the inside of the headset makes your ears hot and sweaty but I don't find that problem at all. Purchased about 3 years ago and still working well. Good luck!

My Iphone ones work great - new but old

I don't like the kind that cover my whole ear, to me they seem muffled so have always used the ear buds and I just got a new IPhone and put those in to try them in place of my older ones and they are super. I can put just one in and leave the other one out and hear everything very clear. If I miss a work then I will put in the other one and re listen and chances are I can fill in the blank. Very clear

Good Pair Of Headphones
Sep 23, 2014

I recently decided that I wanted to invest in a really good pair of headphones because I'm tired of having to purchase new ones every 6 months with the cheap ones.

Does anyone have any suggestions of headphones that you wear all day (6 to 8 hours) and love? ...

Most Comfortable Headphones
Oct 15, 2009

Which headphones do you like the best in terms of comfort and quality? Some of the ones that fit inside the ears, the earbuds, make my ears sore. My boss suggested the noise-canceling kind that fit over the ears, but they are very expensive and they also look like they were be very heavy to wear. Any recommendations would be great, thank you. ...


Comfortable Headphones
Oct 18, 2009

I've always used just cheap stereo headphones but I want to try some of the ones that are made specifically for transcription. The problem is the kind that fit inside my ears can hurt, the ones that are more rounded buds and have foam on them. What headphones do you recommend that are comfortable inside the ear? I tried some recently from a fellow MT and I think they were made by Lanier but I can't remember, but they seemed comfortable. Is Lanier the best also for sound quality? I loo ...
