"SPORTCLIP" stereophones and love them. Got them at Radio Shack for about $25. Each side hooks directly over the ear, no headband on top or behind the head, and you can hardly even tell you have them on as they are very lightweight. They do block outside noise quite well--I have been startled by family members who walked up behind me and then tapped me on the shoulder. They also have a volume control right on the cord, an absolute necessity for me. They have a standard plug but I have a USB adapter and have them plugged into the front of my computer. The cord isn't real long, only 4 feet, which I am still getting used to, but otherwise I love everything about them.

I bought a wedge at Michael's for about 59 cents. Bought one for my SM
Lanier station so I could see the display and one for my keyboard.
Me too.. Koss DC/10! nm
.
I use Koss behind the ear
Love them! The sound is great and they don't hurt at all! And reasonably priced!
Anything by Koss.
Most Sonys are excellent too. Also the Sennheiser PX100 is great, comparable somewhat to the Koss Portapro, though the cheaper Koss ones sound great too.
I've heard the Panasonics are cheap and amazing for the price, but haven't tried any of them yet.
Koss
I bought a really nice pair of Koss earbuds at Wal-Mart. I have problems with a lot of headphones hurting my ears too. These ones have those little black things that go in your ears. It comes with three different sized rubber things so you can use the ones that fit your ears. They are really great for blocking out noises too.
I don't know what the Koss Plug is, but for myself I just
The kind with the small, hard ends that fit into your ear, not the big, round, padded ends with the foam on them. They're under $20. They don't hurt at all, and I find the sound quality to be fine--but I've not had a lot of experience with other, higher quality earplugs.
Koss DC-10 Headset
 Do any of you use the Koss DC-10 headset? How is it? I need to replace my headset and I want to invest in a good new one. Can you tell me . . . are the ear inserts foam or a plastic-type material? It is difficult to tell by the picture on the web-site I have looked at. I perfer the plastic insert to foam. :-) I think they last much longer and seem to block out the outside noise. Your opinions please! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
anyone using koss QZ99
headphones? is the headband comfortable? do you like them?
Koss earphones....$5.00 at Wal-Mart

My all time favorite Koss DC/10 under $20 nm

I like an expensive Koss brand I get at
Wal-Mart. They fit around the back of your head, have a big "muff" (don't know what you call them) and don't squeeze so tight you sweat. I think they are are $9.99. They only last me about a year though as one of the wires seems to break and you don't get sound in both ears. I've had several pair of them and really like them other than having to replacement them every year or so.
Thank you for the Koss headphone recommendation sm
I had to get another pair because think my $45 pair is dying and I can't afford another pair...and 2 new keyboards, a new mouse, a space heater, a special MT pedal and some software this month.
I was at Wally's and they had one type of Koss headphones only costing $5 and I bought them. I really like them and they are quiet. They even came with an extra pair of padded foam thingys for the ear part.
So, to all who said try them, I have and many thanks.
I use Koss headphones. They are huge, but effective.

I just got a pair of $5 Koss headphones at Walmart

Koss DC-10 and radio shack booster
http://www.officedirectinc.com/DCHS.htm for headset
Radio Shack does not appear to carry theirs anymore. This one on ebay might work similarly.

I use a cheap Koss headphone. They go behind your head and the ear pieces are
big, but don't cover the entire ear. They are stereo with a volume control in-line. They cost $20 or less at Wal-Mart and I have to replace about once a year because a wire breaks and I don't get stereo. Any of bud ones hurt my ears.
I wear cheapie ear buds from Target, any brand, usually Koss. Comfy, light, good sound, cheap. nm

Just bought two
Bought a desktop and a laptop a month ago. The desktop had a problem with the CD drive not opening. I called Dell and they promptly handled the situation. The repair person called my home the following day to schedule an appointment. He showed up on time, picked up after himself, etc. Very polite and very professional.
My only complaints so far: being on hold for 40 minutes before talking with a Customer Service rep and the young man I spoke with when my call finally was answered. Where he was from -- I don't know, but he had a very thick accent and with my southern twang ears, he was quite difficult to understand.
Yes, I just bought one and the
service is TERRIBLE. Can't understand us. I had to keep repeating my questions, still they did not seem to understand English. I will never, never, never buy a Dell product again. I just got it yesterday. The computer is okay, but the service is the pits. They have such strong accents, didn't understand me, I had to keep repeating my sentences, talking very slowly. They also were hard to understand. I want to write Dell corporate and complain, but can't even find a place that is not in India to complain to.
After this experience, I am totally not worried about transcription going to India. The quality must be so bad, after what I experienced, it will eventually come back. Any company that outsources, the reports must be very poor quality.
LOL. My mom bought one of those when
it the the COOLEST thing!
i just bought
A Holmes Family Safe Portable Heater, mostly because it's kid-friendly. So far so good. If my house burns down, though, I'll let you know :) j/k It had a lot of good features and keeps my bedroom toasty, which is probably a bit bigger than your office.
I bought a little
flash drive when I bought my new computer. You just load the program onto it and plug it in to your new one and transfer. They're very inexpensive and USB. Very easy
I bought it new
Straight from AAMT in the shrink-wrap (I got a discount through my employer)..
I don't call it a typo when they refer to it wrong twice, as they do in this instance. I call it a mistake! And it makes me lose confidence in the rest of the book, as well as lose respect for the authors.
If people find it amusing - WHY? I don't think its acceptable to just expect typos in every book you buy, because I know darn well people are PAID to edit copy before its published, and someone wasn't doing their job! With fiction I can snort with disgust and move on. But professional books should be accureate, considering it was written BY AND FOR an entire industry based on inherentt perfectionism regarding the written word and terminology!
I was forced to buy this book to supposedly hone MY skills, only to find THEIR skills are lacking. This is the supposed bible of our industry! I am referred to this book a zillion times in my company standards. And if I cannot rely on it for accuracy, why yes, I am angry. If you want to see me as a nutcase, that's your prerogative.
I posted this oriiginally so people could mark this error in their book instead of perhaps putting the BOS spelling n their spell checker, and get penalized for repeated errors as a result. I was hoping others might post any additional errors they had found in this publication, and we could help one another in this respect. Perhaps someone might take this post seriously enough to do so, and if they do, I appreciate it.
Yes bought it used. sm
The foot pedal is brand new.
just bought
myself Koss UR40 headphones. They look like DJ headphones...very, very comfortable and unbelieveable sound. I highly recommend them. I bought them at Radio Shack.
Just bought one...will let you know. (nm)

I know for a fact MQ has been bought out
I'm the one who bought it, and i've decided as the owner of MQ, you all get a life time supply of chapstick. enjoy. 
Interesting you bought this up. sm
So I'm sitting and typing the other day, all happy and cozy, and I feel the cat brush against my leg under my desk and lay across my foot.
And then I realize, I don't have a cat.
So I yank my foot very quickly but get it caught instead under the foot pedal, which I promptly kick clear across the room. Fortunately, it--and it's rudely detached cable--survived.
The "cat" turned out to be a detached piece of carpeting which I had glued to the side of my desk to keep me from knocking my knee. I'm sure my neighbors are still wondering where all the screaming came from...
Our hospital bought the DQS
software somehow. We use DQS but are paid by the hospital. Somehow (not sure how) we use their tech support for technical issues, but a couple of us have to use DocQmanage to assign a job that might needed stat. This is how I discovered this. This was also how i found out that they can manipulate things so many, many ways. I hate them. Because of them, I have to work two full-time jobs to support my family. Also, because of them, other companies and businesses are assuming that this is the "standard" to not count spaces, etc. etc.
When I bought my house....sm
one if my requirements was that there had to be a room that was decent enough to use for my office. In order to qualify for the IRS home office deduction you can't use your office as a bed room or anything else.
I have the best view in the house in my office - I can see outside to the flower garden and also see the road so I can watch the people and cars going by during the day.
Hubby bought me ...
this great little Holmes I-Touch electric heater probably from Lowe's or Home Depot. Cost about $20... very light and compact with a blower. Hmmmm, toasty! 
My husband has bought (sm)
several vehicles on eBay. I wouldn't recommend it unless you know a mechanic who is familiar with the car you are buying who will talk to the seller for you to find out what condition the car is in. We've never been ripped off, but my husband always got specific details on the condition of the vehicle. You might want to try autotrader.com instead.
I have bought from them for a while now and am very satisfied. nm

I bought a refurbished (sm)
It is a e-machine rebuilt all new inside and out... Athion 64 3200+/512 MG DDR/ 160GB HDD with DVD/RW dual layer/flash media reader, AI Radeon Xpress 200 video, 10-100 Mbps LAN/ Windows XP home with both Norton or McAfee built in so you can choose. #399.99 plus shipping & handing... A computer tech said he has 12 of them for his businesses, wouldn't spend the money on a new computer because it isn't the name it is the upgraded equipment inside that wooed him. try tigerdirect.com
Hopefully you haven't already bought. nm
I bought an e-machine for $399 (sm)
It was on sale at Best Buy (there were only 3) That is w/o the monitor, cause I didn't need one at the time. I know the support people are usually Dave or Keith (yeah, right) they barely speak English, but I don't actually know where the computers are made. Check for sales at Best Buy and get there early.
I bought a refurbished one
about 3 years ago from overstock.com and it's still going strong. It's my main work computer. I don't buy new computers anymore. I've had better luck with the refurbished ones, which also come with substantially less junk software.
I just bought a used Beetle and it has a
sunroof. Never had one before but I do love that. My next vehicle will be either a bright sunny yellow or orange Beetle bug convertible!
Go for it. I think you'll love it!
HELP!!! Just bought new system
any ideas?
This is what I bought for our RV & my laptop
You may have seen this advertised before on TV. I bought it from LTD Commodities but I am sure it is available many other places. It is inexpensive, quite adjustable, you can break it down,and it is very lightweight. I use it at home as a TV tray as well.
Ever bought OEM CD only software? (sm)
 I use Word, but need Word Perfect for one account only. Any pros or cons to purchasing OEM CD only software or do I need to bite the bullet. It's my understanding you cannot buy Word Perfect alone without buying the suite.
Any comments will be appreciated
I bought a house too. but
then it is even more important to make sure you have cash flow. One missed check, due to illness or accident, and your bills start piling up, then you can LOSE that house. I understand your husband doesn't get paid much - mine's a machinist and has been laid off 4 times in 4 years. Bottom line is living within your means...whatever your means are.
I had the same problem when I bought a new
Unfortunately, I tried Radio Shack, Best Buy, and another store my husband went to that I don't remember the name of, as well as searching online, and I was never able to find an adaptor, although I believe the reverse is available. I wound up buying an Olympus pedal as the company I work for supplied Olympus Player Pro software. Their pedal comes with both connectors.
I bought some on Ebay for $26 ;)
You might want to check there. The person had an ebay store and many styles and all the ones I was considering were under $30.
Thanks for the tip. I just bought a pair! nm

help - bought used C-phone
worked on one about 5 years ago. Can't for the life of me figure out out to plug the telephone line in the Dictaphone!!! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. TIA.
Would this happen to be a certain co. in KY that was bought out by another in CO? sm
If so, I would really like to talk to you! Please email me.
TransHealth was just bought by
Webmedx and I would choose Webmedx over Spheris. The feedback is mixed on both companies, but there is a lot more negative on Spheris.
Never heard of that. I bought some
I bought mine from Transcriptiongear.com. I got the Noisebuster headphones. They work great, but they are made a little cheap. The battery compartment broke the first month that I had it, and I had to use tape. It takes a battery which is really annoying to have to keep changing. I purchased some rechargeable batteries but I have to remember to keep them charged. I have never heard of missing dictation. When they say noise reduction that means it cancels out the noise in your office, NOT on the doctor's end. It does make the doctor (and everything else on his end) sound more clear. I have had mine for about two years and they are great, but then again I haven't tried any other brands.
