Philips 2236 Stereo Headphones for Transcription (LFH2236/00)

I am a medical transcriptionist and these headphones work great for me. They manage to eliminate some of the background noise on recordings so I can hear better. Definitely would suggest these to others!

I'm a transcriptionist and I absolutely hate the traditional headsets. They hurt my ears when I wear them so I wanted to find something that wasn't super heavy and were comfortable. They were very light and comfortable. The only problem I had with them is that the cord is extremely long. Mine quit working from me accidentally pulling on the cord all the time. That being said, I'm buying another pair.

Love these headphones. I work as a transcriptionist and these are so much better than ones with small ear buds because they cover the entire ear, so voice is crystal clear.

I am not an expert on sound quality and the like, so my above five stars might not be five to someone who knows more; but for my purposes, these headphones have done excellently! I have not had any problems with them, and all I have to do is plug them into the headphone jack and they work perfectly! They are lightweight and conform to my head very comfortably. They are so lightweight in fact that I keep thinking of them as more fragile than they perhaps really are. I use them soley for transcription and would definitely buy them again if I needed to!

Works great for a very light weight headphone for sports or whatever but has a 10 foot wire. It’s way too long.

Good sound, comfortable, goes over whole ear so helps to cancel surrounding noise.

The sound is good, but the ear pieces are not comfortable on my ears unfortunately.

I use $80 headphones that aren't very comfortable for my proofing pass because I transcribe a lot of bad audio and I was hoping these would be good enough to replace those. They are good enough, but only if the audio quality is reasonably good to begin with.I was hoping these would at least be better than my comfortable $7 Panasonic ones, and they are, and they are even more comfortable. These ear pieces fit perfectly flush against my ear and I like the long cord. So, the audio is just a little bit better than the Panasonic ones and I'm glad I bought them.However, as another commenter mentioned, these MUST be plugged into speakers that have an amplifier, and not plugged directly into the computer jack. Definitely go for the VEC or Spectra if you have USB.
