I use Koss custom fit KE29A. They are earbuds, but they have different sized rubber pieces to fit your ears better. They work great.

As unconventional to transcribing this may be, I use Bose® Around-Ear Headphones. I know they are pricey. Cheapest I found was $140 at www.frys.com or Fry's Electronic store if you have one in your city. The sound is unbelievable and they last!!! I had already spend countless of dollars on ones that did not last and had terrible reception.

Hope this helps!

Best Noise Cancelling Headphones?
Mar 11, 2012

I am looking for a good set of noise cancelling headphones- i don't want the kind that you have to switch on because i always forget to turn them off and the batteries die.  My friend has a great set of Sony headphones that go over the ear and totally block out sound.  I don't think they make them any more, however.  They were sonyMDR-V600.  But if anyone knows of a good brand that is comfortable over the ears and the head and fits snugly (but not too snugly) and bl ...

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? ...

Can someone recommend a brand of noise cancelling headphones that fit over the ears, not earbuds, that work well and do not hurt your head?
