am I the only one who HATES these heavy Logitech headphones? - not to mention they twist on themselves so bad


Posted: Apr 07, 2012

I hate these stupid headphones, they are heavy, I do not need a Britney Spears mic..and the cord twists onto itself so bad it is impossible to get a good fit.  Once again..they do not consider what an actual MT needs, just send stupid generic headsets for air traffic controllers and pop stars and do not for one second consider what would work best for us.  I hate having to fit it around my head, it guts stuck in my hair.  Yes..the sound is fine, but the torture of wearing these things is not. 

any ideas?  What are my options??

I bought my own and kept theirs as a backup. - nm

Not understanding the problem-why can't you - Use your own?

They are not forcing you to use that headset. They provided it to supply a complete system.

I do not know how they could guess what kind every MT liked. No matter what they supplied, you would probably prefer something else.

If they did supply a better headset, most would be tried out and never used again, but nobody else would want them because they had been in someone's ears. Another bunch of them would end up being resold on EBay. The cost of all those unused and resold headsets would get passed on to you in the form of lower pay.

Just get your own.

I LOVE the stethoscope headsets - But mine broke

Logitech Keyboards
Mar 24, 2011

I recently started having some issues with my Logitech wireless keyboard where it was getting harder to press down on the keys.  I recently moved and when I got everything set up I noticed that the touch seemed to be different.  Shook the keyboard out, took a damp cloth and wiped the keyboard down, etc and still seems to be "different."  I called Logitech this morning and explained what was going on and they are replacing the keyboard free of charge and apparently, you do not have ...

Microsoft 4000 Keyboard Versus Logitech

With Heavy Heart

I have taken a wonderful position in another industry and I am looking forward to my new adventure.

Most Comfortable Headphones

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.

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 ...
