for an Olympus recorder. You hardly notice those little things. I can wear them all day with no problem, and they were pretty cheap (around $12).

headphones
I am using stereo headphones from JVC. they fit over the ears and not inside like the old metal ones (although the metal ones were definitively my choice for about 30 years). You can get the stereo headphones at Circuit City or any electronics place. My friend in California who works in the same company as I do, bought the Boise headsets ($150) and he likes them. Mine were about $40. But you can go to Transcription headphones at Google and there are tons of websites.

What are the best headphones to use? I've already received my books and could've already started but I don't know the best headphones to buy. I'll be getting them this weekend. Any advise?
headphones?
Can anyone recommend a good, comfortable pair of headphones? I need an over-the-head style, as most earbuds/in ear styles hurt my head within about 10 minutes of wear. Does anyone use wireless headphone? I would really like a wireless pair, but that is not as important as the sound quality/noise canceling ability. Please let me know. Thanks!

I am currently a student studying medical transcription.
I am having trouble with some little words. I was wanting to see if you guys could share with me what brand of headphones you use and why you would recommend them to me.
Thanks in advance!

I have recently purchased Spectra FlexFone FLX-10 Digital headphones (stereo) It has a volume control on the cord and a FlexiPort so you don't have to plug in the back of the computer if that is the ohly port available. They are true - under the chin headphones I much prefer after 40 years of doing this. They cost about $38.00 but have been worth every penny. I also use external speakers and plug the headphones into them so I have another avenue to "fine tune" for the whispering dictators. I hope this helps. I bought them on line from Transcription Gear.com. Great company.
I bought a 15-pin to USB at Radioshack. They are about $8, I think

when I bought my computer last fall
it came with Vista. Nothing came with XP anymore but I had to have it. (Now Dell is getting smart and selling computers with XP again.) We just put a copy of XP on. We always have the option to restart and boot Vista. You don't have to dump it. This was a huge headache, though, because we had to download a bunch of other drivers for sound, video, etc., and I would recommend just getting a computer with XP. We really like our Dell computer.
They recently bought out a company that was in TN.
Webmedx is a well known company. Check the archives on the company board for lots of information.
I just bought a laptop Dell E1505. Your biggest obstacle is the foot pedal as it's a 9-pin serial
port and NO newer computers have them anymore, especially laptops. Also, Escription is not compatible with Windows Vista which also most newer computers come with. I needed a laptop with Windows XP so I went onto Dell and they can "customize" one for you with the XP on it or you can do what I did and 400 dollars cheaper and get it from Ebay. The only thing I noticed was that the new one I got on ebay didnt have Word on it and I had to purchase Word 2003 for that as Word 2007 also is not compatible. Over the last 3 years, I have tried multiple adapters to get the foot pedal to work and finally used one that Escription recommends ..the Dynex DB9 model. I also got it on Ebay for $10 or they can be bought at like Best Buy but they are around $35 I think. There are a few obstacles with Escription and laptops etc.but since I like to travel, I finally got it worked out. I also plug in another keyboard as the laptop one is hard to type on and I like my ergonometer one. Good luck
I may have one that I bought a while back. Will check tonight and get back to you.
