headphones vs earphones - anon
Posted: Sep 24, 2012
I am having trouble with some cheap head phones or ear phones. They sound muffled, but I have tried just about everything. I even had some Sonys and they were not that great. Any suggestions on what ear phones are good to use transcribing?

I have a pair of Koss noisecanceling headphones that I purchased at Walmart for about $19 and I love them. I used to buy Koss' cheaper ones that were about $5 but with all of the use, they would break so I would be replacing them every other month. I've had these about 2 months and they are doing so well that I plan to get a backup pair just in case.

Headphones Or Earphones Oct 16, 2013I'm new to transcription at home. I have a pair of Spectra headphones I ordered from Amazon.com, but I'm doing transcription for a pathology account where there is a lot of background noise. I don't want to spend $200, but are there any earphones or headphones that work really well for our line of work that aren't too expensive?

Ear Buds Or Earphones Jul 02, 2010Does anyone have recommendations for a good brand of these? I've read about the Sony Noise cancelling headphones that many of you like, but I really don't prefer the type that cover the whole ear. I wear glasses and after a time, my ears get kind of sore from the cup pressing on my ears over the glasses. I need good clarity and noise cancelling though. I wonder if the Sony brand earbuds would also be of good quality?
Thanks. ...

Comfortable Headphones Oct 18, 2009I'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?

What Type Of Headphones Do You Use? Why? Nov 11, 2013Another post got me wondering, what type of headphones / ear buds do you use and why?
I, personally, switched to (in-ear) ear buds about 5 to 6 years ago. I found a pair of Skull Candy (yes, odd name but good ear buds) that I loved and have used them since. They have a lifetime warranty (which I've used a couple times just due to daily use, and have never had an issue). I actually keep a backup pair in case they break, etc.
They're just the cheap ones, I belie ...
