Opinions/options for headset - flyinfingrs
Posted: Jun 27, 2015
My headset is worn out has wires showing (again). I have taped it numerous times, but this last time the sound quality is not good. I have been trying unsuccessfully to replace because I have really tiny ears and the ones advertised as "designed to fit all ears" usually end up falling out anyway and back they go for a refund. I would just replace the cord if it didn't cost as much as a whole new set. Tried the ones for children, but the sound quality is not good enough for work. In-ear will not fit in my ears at all and I would have to tape them to my head to get them to stay on. The ones with the earpieces that fit over the ear do not work well with my glasses and cause headaches from where the legs are pressed against my head. My old ones are stethoscope style, which has worked the best, but they slip out while I work as well. Are there any that have good sound quality, possibly noise canceling, will stay in or on small ears, and don't cost an arm and a leg? TIA
Skullcandy - MT
[ In Reply To ..]Have you tried Skullcandy? I have small ears too and these work well for me. Not too expensive and they are noise canceling.
Checking it out. :) Ty!!! - flyinfingrs

That's what I use. I've dropped many headphones and they stop working, - even the expensive ones, but Skullcandy
[ In Reply To ..]keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
I think I bought mine at Target for under $30. Amazon has them too.

[ In Reply To ..]I'm sorry, I don't know the brand name because I've had them and used the same kind for years, but I use ones that look like a doctor's stethoscope. I've been told by doctors I have small ears! I have no idea what that truly means, but I love the ones that look like a doctor's stethoscope, but most transcriptionists I chat with do not like them.

PT'ers Have No NJA Options
Nov 28, 2014
So, being a PT'er, I have to stick around the whole shift waiting for jobs? There is no option for PT'ers as we do not accumulate paid time off. This is pretty crummy and really unfair. If I am expected to sit here for 8 hours doing nothing, I should get paid something for my time. ...

Within the next couple weeks, MModel will be upgrading DQS in my region, so I finally was able to buy a brand new computer with Win7, rather than refurbs with Win XP. Until they "flip the switch," I'm still using my old computer, but did get a new laptop and have been exploring Win7. I've discovered that Outlook Express is now defunct!

A New Company & Options For Spellchecker
Jun 29, 2010
I started with a new company and I did not have spellcheck, so I ordered it and it was quite expensive for the 2010 one. Now I found out that when I am in their program they are using their own. This has really ticked me off because I was TOLD that I needed to download a spellchecker and now I cannot send it back because I have downloaded it. Is there anyway that I can use this spellchecker instead of theirs? Any feedback will be appreciated. ;) ...
Health Insurance Options Available Now To Anyone
Jan 30, 2011
To those of you who desperately need insurance now, here is a great place to look for temporary insurance. If you eventually find out that COBRA is not going to happen or LM jerks you around so long you miss the deadline, you can still qualify for Uninsurable Risk insurance depending on the State you live in. Some of these plans may even be cheaper than COBRA, which is something you might want to look into. It is definitely worth your time to check this out instead of just wa ...

Looking For Career Options, Exploring Coding

My sole purpose is to re-enter the working world as fast as possible. Medical Billing / Coding was one of the options. A friend reffered this site to me in response to an MT oportunity and, as if my prayers were answered, I noticed the Coding / Billing forum which has answered many questions. However, I have more, I always do. How d ...

Got My New Headset

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. ...
