ECS WordMaster Deluxe Overhead USB Transcription Headset

I was skeptical to try these but decided to take the plung given they state they are designed for low frequency audio. I have a pair of traditional transcription headphones and a pair of Sony noise-cancelling headphones, and would sometimes find myself switching between the two constantly, which is irritating. The best way to describe these headphones would be to say that my two original pairs had a baby, minus the noise-cancellation aspect. I do not find these as comfortable as my Sony pair, but they are much more comfortable than my transcription headphones (Those ones hurt the insides of my ears after only a few minutes because the plastic is so hard. And yes, I have the covers on them.) Anyway, I'm happy I picked these up. My coworker has the earbuds and likes them and I may invest in those eventually, but earbuds in general irritate my ears, so I am very pleased with these and haven't used anything but them since they arrived.

I have tried a few headphones for my job and found them to be uncomfortable, and the sound not as clear.The Transcription Headset from WordMaster Around-The-Ear Deluxe Overhead are brilliant. Comfortable around the ears. Sound is excellent.If ever I need to buy again I would buy these.

Made for larger heads and ears - just a bit smaller would be fantastic. Plus if it could be used around the neck as well as over the head. This company provides professional above and beyond customer care. I was contacted to see how a different product would suit me and to ensure the product met my needs. I was shipped Wordslinger which is a smaller headset and fits and works perfectly! Product is quality design and performance - really a specialty to suit customer needs. I would totally recommend this company and their product as top rated. A big thank you for the above and beyond service in seeing I got the right one.

Bought for transcription but they crackled like there was a wire off somewhere. Returning

I work as a virtual medical scribe, and have found these headphones to isolate spoken voice very well compared to other headphones I have tried. I do not use specific software, but a secure cloud based UI, and these work great without issue. The $50 price tag is worth it for the sound quality. I have noticed most of the ambient noise and artifact in the recording is more filtered and I can hear mumbles clearly, where as before I would have to replay the sound clip several times to understand what was said, slowing my productivity. I also like the ability to further increase the volume of the headset. The USB plug works great. Drivers installed automatically. While the recording is playing, the noises around me are not noticeable, however they do not have true noise cancelling technology. I have no complaints in that regard, however, as it does not affect my work.I have tried a number of different earbuds and headsets ranging in cost from $1- $300. The $300 ones were superb with comfort and noise cancelling, but the headband broke within 4 months. Other over the ear headphones I have tried have not had this quality of sound. The headband is a bit large, but they do not fall off my head. I will try to remember to update this review about the durability in 6 months or so.UPDATE: Afew months back one of the wires was coming loose. I contacted the manufacturer/seller and they had me send back the old ones and sent me an new pair at no cost. Excellent customer service!
