This item did not work when I connected it to my computer.

I bought this headset back in 2017 and am very happy with it. I ordered a second one to have a "spare" as I travel a lot and carry it with me in my computer bag. Unfortunately I didn't open the package right away as I didn't need it. I was about to go on another trip and figured I'd leave my old computer in my travel bag and the new one at home to use when I'm here. I opened the box and pocketed the headset to test it out before stuffing the old one into my bag. The new headset does not workโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 10ft cable for transcription station flexibility
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged

Nice choice! in Computers & Accessories

I was very pleasantly surprised at how good this headset is. I used to have one that looked pretty much the same but cost a few dollars less. If that's the difference you're considering, I'd suggest spending a few bucks more. The cord is thicker and stronger. Volume control is easier and doesn't pull as hard on the cord. The clip is larger and easier to use. And most importantly, both the sound quality and the volume are much better. I used to have to turn the volume on my computer to theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • LED indicator for connecting to a computer
Cons
  • will be added later

Buy something else if you like in-ear headphones or soft ear pads

These headphones will not fit in your ears so they just sit on top of the 'ear hole' as there is no better gives word. I'm used to earbuds or headphones with soft cases that completely cover the entire part of the ear, not just the hole. They are also not regulated in any way. This is important because I use this headset to transcribe and listen to my audio files for several hours a day, which gives me severe earaches and headaches. The sound quality is good, which was sad because I justโ€ฆ

Pros
  • USB Direct-Connect 2.0 port
Cons
  • Interchangeable

I don't call it a miracle, but damn close.

I've had just about every pair of headphones I could try for my transcription work. I work from home and started thinking that I needed to figure out how to set up my computer's sound card to make all my files louder. When I ordered them I didn't have to crank the main speaker volume to maximum, PLUS crank the transcription software speaker to maximum, only to barely hear what the secondary speakers in the room were saying. it was a miracle. I'm not saying they will change your life, maybe Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • True digital volume control
Cons
  • Older model
