Stereo vs mono headsets - jklsr55
Posted: Aug 04, 2012
My wife is needing new headphones. Is stereo vs mono a huge consideration in choosing a new headphones??
I don't like traditional MT - headphones (sm)
[ In Reply To ..]I have the Bose AE2i audio headphones (345444-0010). I got them at Target. They are $180 (free shipping online) and WORTH EVERY PENNY. Sound is great, SUPER comfortable, very light. I love them.
I do think it makes hearing even very difficult dictators much easier. Our headphones are paramount to our job - I don't believe in skimping on them.
HTH!
Stereo vs mono - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I have Spectra headphones with a switch on the wire that you can switch from mono to stereo. In listening to dictation, I can't tell the difference between the two. Maybe listening to music might be different.
I bought this specific headset because it also has a volume control on that same little switch on the wire. That's a lifesaver.

Stereo Headphones For Transcribing
Jan 02, 2014
I wear stereo headphones to transcribe - the old fashioned kind that fit over your whole ear. But for the last many years I've had my own accounts and haven't had to sit transcribing for 8 hours a day. That's going to change, and when I wear the headphones for extended periods of time, I know from experience that they start to hurt my outer ear from pressure on my ears. They aren't tight by any means, it's just them constantly sitting on my hears. ...

Where Can I Get Magical QA Headsets
Oct 19, 2011
I transcribe and edit what I actually do hear, but get QA feedback from another planet. I am not a newbie MT, though new on my current account. I figure they must use secret magical headsets to hear what they do. Often QA isn't even on the same page with each other even on account specs. So, it must be the magical headsets. Does anyone know where I can get the kind QA uses? ...

Transcription Headsets
Nov 25, 2013
I have been transcribing and editing for over 11 years and have ALWAYS used Spectra headsets, but having recently switched jobs where their platform could only be downloaded onto my personal computer and not my work computer, I've found that I'm not getting enough volume with the Spectras. I'm using earbuds right now but they wear out fast so I'm wondering if there are any headset models out there that any of you find to be excellent with clearity and volume, and that aren� ...

Does anyone know where to get GOOD quality ones?
