Headset problem - mt2


Posted: Jan 05, 2015

Has anyone else ever  had a problem with a radio station being played through their headsets?  This is driving me crazy! It's not loud but I can hear it very softly in the background and especially when I take my foot off the foot pedal.  I feel like I'm becoming Schizophrenic trying to block out the noises lol

Radio Reception in Headset - MT

[ In Reply To ..]
I had this happen with a Lanier dial-in system headset back in 1989 when I first started working from home - a gospel station broadcasting from 6 to 8 a.m. The Lanier techs said that was impossible and suggested maybe I was drinking too much coffee (I started work at 5 a.m. in those days) After many weeks, Lanier was finally convinced to send a tech out to my home that early - was he ever surprised! Re-grounding my home (by an electrician) and a special filter on my phone line solved the problem. Good luck -- I know how disconcerting that can be, and the odd looks one gets when reporting such an occurrence.

Thank you - mts

I was starting to think no one else ever had this problem. Thank you for replying.

Got My New Headset
Aug 23, 2011

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. ...

New Headset But Never Had To Do This Before

Transcription Headset
Sep 24, 2010

I did a search and couldn't really find what I was looking for. I need to buy a new headset. Does anyone use or know of a headset that really brings up the "volume." I got one from Transcription Gear a few years ago but it really didn't do what I thought it would. 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. ...

Recommend A Headset, Please
Sep 20, 2013

I'm looking to purchase a new headset for transcription.  I had a Philips SHM-7500 and it lasted for 6 years. It's no longer being sold other than on E-bay from Korea ;) I have heard good things about both the Logitech h540 and the Spectra USB Transcription Headset, two totally different styles. 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. ...

One Side Of Headset Not Working

Hi, one side of my headphones quit working.  Any ideas?  - It is the same way no matter what I listen to so not the fault of transcription software.  thx for any ideas.  Sounds stupid, but I can't remember what they are now ... but I think Transcription Gear (sounds right).  They have the big ear buds that don't really go into the ear and have the volume control along the wire.  They aren't all that old either. Any ideas appreciated!  ...

Aluminum Stethoscope Headset
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 wh ...

Headset With Mic And Large Earpads
Nov 14, 2012

Anyone know of a reasonably priced headset with microphone (not wireless) that has the big ear pads that fit over the whole ear not just on the ear.  I'm talking an ear pad about 2-1/2 x 3 inches.  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. ...
