ECS WordHear-O 3.5mm Transcription Headset with in-line Stereo/Mono & Volume, Under Chin, 10' Cord, Clothing Clip, 3 Extra Pair Ear sponges, Compatible with Computer & transcribers with a 3.5mm Jack

These headphones work very well for me. I’ve been using them consistently for over a month. I wear them most of the day, 5 days a week for work, typing legal transcripts. I have small ears so am always a little concerned headphones that go in my ears will be uncomfortable or just not fit. These are actually quite comfortable. These headphones don’t put a dent in my hair because they’re worn below your head (hanging down from your ears). They stay in place and don’t get in the way of my arms or keyboard because they come with a clip to clip the wire to your collar or shirt. The sound quality is very good for what I use them for. When people talk over each other or the quality of a recording could be better, I find these work better than my Bose around-the-ear headphones I was previously using for this job. Maybe these are made specifically to listen to talking and Bose are more for listening to music. I’m not sure. But these sound great!

Just arrived in the mail safe and sound. Works fine so far. It is not high quality sound, but that is to be expected for the price. It has a handy switch that allows you to use both mono and stereo 3.5mm jacks. The wire is pretty good quality and is quite long. Perfect for transcribers or folks who still have the old-school recorders that had only mono output jacks. It includes a bag that holds it, but is only thin cloth. You get quite a few extra ear pieces which is nice. I will have to buy something sturdier to store it, more than likely from any dollar store, no problemo.

The headphones are great and clear. They do their job. Only thing I hate about them is the length of the cord. It is massive. I’m not sure who needs a cord that long but It’s constantly getting tangled in my other cords and just way to long. Wish there was a reel on it or some better way to clip it up to shorten it. What they had just doesn’t work.

I am a medical transcriptionist, so I need to very clearly hear doctor's dictations. These earphones work just as well, with as good sound quality, as $100 earphones I have purchased in the past. They are comfortable in the ear. They have a removable clip so you can clip the earphone to your clothing, but I am up and down so many times during the day, that would be annoying; the clip is easily removable. The volume control is also a stereo or monaural control. For the price, these are as good as the really expensive earphones.

I wear a headset for 8+ hours a day so comfort is a must but clarity is a priority. This is the closest replacement I have found after Sony discontinued the MDR-U10M about 10 years ago. These are very, very comfortable and the sound is very clear. I could do without the inline volume/sterero/mono control. My computer has those adjustments so I do not need the duplication and rarely need to raise/lower the volume, if ever. If I do need to change the volume, it can be done more conveniently from my keyboard. I do not want anything clipped to me as I tend to get up/down throughout the day and that would be a hassle. It is just long enough to rest on my keyboard table so I do not clip it. The cord is super long which I leave bundled up. I do like how it is a braided cord though. All this being said, I will be ordering a second pair for backup because these are the most comfortable pair I have found in years with no distortion of dictated voice.

I use mine every day. Eventually they do wear out (the cord) but I replace them with the same kind. No stress on the ears. Work well for podcasts and streaming while working at my desk. Also dictation, but not primarily. I don't know how they'd do with music. Good product.

I thought I had these for longer than I did, but I bought them in January of 2023. I didn't like the cord being so long as it was hard to store. I used them everyday and the sound quality was great, but the cord frayed about 2 months ago and now I cannot even use them. If I would've saved my receipt I would send them back, but I didn't. So I will just have to bite the bullet and order a different set. I have ordered several headsets from Amazon since I started working from home 4 years ago.

I wore full ear headphones for years (Bose). When those finally broke, I bought a cheaper pair but they were very uncomfortable, hard around the ears and too tight. These are typical simple transcription earphones that fit in the ear and hang below the chin. Very lightweight. Very long cord. Not noise canceling so you will need a quiet room to transcribe if others are around.

Already broke

Bought these for my mum for work. They've been great, she says they're comfy and the volume is good.

Perfect for medical transcription. Good clear sound and lightweight Very comfortable on my ears

Wow! Zu diesem Preis! Meine Frau ist begeistert!

My wife likes these USB plug-in headphones with their inline volume control and "under the chin" wearing which she finds comfortable during her long transcribing periods. After years (20+) these are the only headphones she will use!
