Aluminum Stethoscope Headset - Mollie
Posted: Oct 01, 2011
I want to get an aluminum stethoscope headset because I used to use one onsite at the cancer center I worked for and absolutely loved it. I do have a question though. What type of plug-in would I need? I want to plug it into my speaker and I now use the Emdat Inscribe platform. I don't think a USB connection would work for me since I wouldn't be able to plug it into the speaker, so I would guess I would need the prong type plug-in. Most of the time when transcribing, I have at least one doc who is a mumbler or for some reason is difficult to undertand. I am absolutely certain that this kind of headset would help me understand them better, and not have to listen over and over, which takes up too much time and cuts down on my production. Thanks for any info you could share with me.
Stethoscope headsets are better, I agree. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]TranscriptionGear has any kind you want in all styles of plugins. The USB ones do not last long (burned 2 out in a year's time), so my next order is for one that I can plug into my speakers like you.
Stethoscope headsets do help on the mumblers. Most stereo earphones are made for music and not what we do, so I have always used the aluminum ones.
Me, too! I've had my aluminum ones for ages & love them! - (nm) - Meerkat

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. ...

Transcription Headset

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. ...

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. ...

Headset With Mic And Large Earpads

The one I'm using isn't all that tight, it's just that after a whole day one of my ears hurts from even the small amount of pressure. I need stereo. Hoping for under $100. ...
