I bought their inexpensive set, was about $68.00 I think. I had pain from my other headsets, this set goes over entire outside of ears with great large cushion of foam and had great sound. It was really nice.
THey have a website.

I found great headphones, GRADO LABS
Grado Labs SR60. I put a more detailed note down below, where I had asked for help with headphones. I love them. Great sound, comfortable, you forget they are on. I can just type and forget about the sound, such a relief. Like the olden days.
Found great headphones- GRADO LABS SR60
Thanks to all you who replied. At my local MAC store I found they had a display you could listen to the earphones. I bought GRADO LABS SR60, as the sound was good and they sit entirely outside your ear with BIG round ear pads.
When I got them home, the sound was GREAT for transcribing. Thank the Lord. Really. It was just like the old days, when I COULD TYPE AND NOT WORRY ABOUT THE SOUND. I did change settings on my sound card--it has an equalizer-- to New Wave or something, it seemed the best, and put the Wave file way down, and adjusted the volume on the speakers, and I was very happy.
I read on someone's review, some audio guy on the net, that Grado SR60's have not as much bass as the higher number models. But for transcription that is good.
Well, from my lips to God's ears, just in time, I am so happy. Really, I have bought a lot of headphones trying, but they have all been cheap. These are not that expensive, but they were great. The Bose were very good sound, but for transcribing, I did not think I'd like them. Plus they were heavier on the ears, more of a conventional fit around the ears and put pressure on the head. Another great thing about the Grado, they have a metal top piece that goes over the head -covered with leather or fake leather--the audio website said, you can rest that on the top of your head and take away some of the pressure on your ears. That helps relax and pretty soon you don't notice them, like with other headphones fighting all the time to keep them in position.
Thanks to all. Hope this helps someone. The sound is great.
Brooklyn is trendy now?
I didn't know that actually.
On 9/11 I was having a hard time working and a doc from Israel that I did tape work for was obsessing and calling about a 2 cent plastic microcassette tape case that he said I didn't return to him.
haven't been to brooklyn in years
But didn't know it was trendy at all. There are a lot of really bad parts and a few ritzy parts as I recall. Very crowded and a place not desired although I am interested in the new trend.
Been to Brooklyn to visit friend who worked at the Twin Towers
years ago, can only hope she was not there when they fell. The friend lived in Brooklyn but I am with the above post about trendy, I heard the same thing the other night on HGTV. Are you there in Brooklyn?
Photos in today's NYPost show pumps in Brooklyn up over 3.00 a gallon, way over! nm
