I buy ear buds for $3.97 from Wal-Mart. I bought the noise cancelling headphones and used them for years, but they started to hurt the top of my head and felt too weighty...I took the plunge, and for $3.97 I can buy several and replace them whenever i need to...they work best when plugged directly into the computer rather than desktop speakers, but they work okay both ways.

I love my Shure headphones. They were about $100, but they come with a 2-year warranty and Shure quickly replaces them if needed. I sent mine back once because the sound was cutting out on the right side and got a brand new set within a week for no cost.

headsets - try these

Got mine at Radioshack - A Radioshack brand, over the ears, cushioned ear pads. But as I have no one here with me all day to hear anything. I basically use none at all.

Thanks to all who posted! - Exhausted MTer

I'm looking to purchase a new headset for transcription. I had a Philips SHM-7500 and it lasted for 6 years. It's no longer being sold other than on E-bay from Korea ;) I have heard good things about both the Logitech h540 and the Spectra USB Transcription Headset, two totally different styles. Any input/recommendations for these or any others? I use it on the computer, not for cassette tapes. The Philips had the open ear cushions while the Logitech has flat padding. ...

We are going to start a small business (nothing to do with MT) and eventually have employees. I am completely fuddle-headed with math functions, even simple addition and subtraction. I was thinking about a small bookkeeping class at a local tech school, or possibly an on-line course. I hate to put a lot of money into a class for any type of degree or certificate, with a lot of things to learn that I don't really need or want. I would like to find a simple (...

Hello, I am becoming disenchanted with the medical transcription profession and how it has become less lucrative (although some may disagree). I wanted to look into medical coding as an alternative at-home (remote) or in-office job. I was hoping someone could recommend a few good websites that discuss the profession, how to prepare for it, how long training typically takes before you can "launch yourself", how lucrative it could be if you really apply yourself, and so on. I've hear ...

I am sorry to say that my old ones work better for me. I think they would be ok, but I get a lot of (what I think is) cellphone audio, and they just don't work as well for that. I have tried switching back and forth while working to test them, and then I always end up using my old ones. I like the way they feel though. It was worth a try. ...

I did a search and couldn't really find what I was looking for. I need to buy a new headset. Does anyone use or know of a headset that really brings up the "volume." I got one from Transcription Gear a few years ago but it really didn't do what I thought it would. At the moment I have my set and computer up as far as they will go and it will be easier if I could somehow get it louder. Thanks for your help. ...
