VEC Electronics Spectra SP-VC 5 Deluxe Twin Speaker Transcription Headset, Volume Control and Stereo/Mono Switch, 5 ft. Cord with a 3.5mm Right Angle Stereo Plug, Pouch for Personal Storage

I use it four or five days a week for transcription. It's very good, the volume control and the ability to switch between stereo and mono really help with the varying sound quality of the interviews. More comfortable than over the ear headphones, and I just barely put it in the ears, it doesn't need to be fully inserted. Will definitely buy these again!

Really like these headphones. Excellent sound quality. Have a more expensive set and I think this one is actually better!!!

got this for transcription editing for my job. have great sound, love the volume control on the line, but my favorite part is the fact that they don't have to go on top of my head and the just sit kind of at your ear and don't actually go in and that they don't cover the entire ear. i have several pairs of earphones and buds, but this has turned in to be my favorite. may end up getting another pair so i can have a set hooked directly into the computer and the other one hooked up to my digital recorder. . i like these so well, that instead of keeping a different pair hooked up to the recorder, i keep transferring these from one to the other as needed due the great sound i get.

Great headphones, very reliable and good sound for transcription. I purchased a set like this one from another company and had to send them back twice because the sound cut out. Don't worry about that with the Spectra. Just make sure you realize how short the cord is. This cord reaches from the plug in the back of my computer, across the top of my desk without a lot of extra, which works fine for me because the longer cords always got stuck in my chair wheels or got wrapped up in my dog, who likes to sit under my desk while I work.I highly recommend this headset.

I have marked hearing loss. Hearing aids are helpful, not a replacement but a less than good substitute. I uses these headphones along with a pocket talker, also sold by Amazon, that works very well in movies and lectured. It would be good if the pocket talker was stereo and the volume could be adjusted for each ear.

Sound quality is really good for the price. I would like a 10-foot cord instead of the 5-foot cord, but that was easily fixed with an extension cable. I bought these for a new legal transcription contract that requires playback with mono settings instead of stereo to keep sound from being distorted. The only problem I am having with this headset is they are not comfortable for working. The foam that comes with this headset is really thin and provides almost no barrier between the hard plastic and my ears. I have small ears and have trouble finding headsets that fit, so the ear pieces rest against the outside of my ears and I start having pain within 10 minutes of starting my shift bad enough that I am having to stop transcribing every 10 minutes or so. Definitely not good for increasing my production. I am now looking into either better options for padding or a different headset that offers the mono setting and still offers the same sound quality.

This is exactly what I was looking for and the price is fantastic. I needed a new pair for my transcription job. They are very comfortable, the volume adjustment is great and the long cord allows for no pull on the headphones.

I love the length of the cord. It is shorter and absolutely love it. My previous sets all had a long cord. Last week I fell because the old set's cord wrapped around my leg and I did not realize it and it caused me to fall when I got out of my seat.
