Do you have a broken or missing headset?

Transcription headsets are divided into two main groups. The first group is headsets designed to be used with your Personal Computer or work station whether in the office or at home. The second group is headsets designed to be used with a transcribe station that sits on your desk. It can be a tape transcriber or digital station that connects to a dictation system directly or by telephone.

Choosing the right replacement headset to fit your transcriber unit is easy. Just follow the three simple steps below to find just the right headset or maybe even discover one that you like better than your "old" one. If you don't see a connector like the one on your headset on this page, give us a call 888-834-2392.

  1. Examine the pictures below.
  2. Match the headset plug that connects to your PC, Transcribe station or transcriber unit to one of the pictures.
  3. When you have found a match, click on the picture and go to the selection of headsets that have that type of plug.
