Love my Boise. Didn't pay full price. sm
I bought DH Boise stereo one year for Christmas. Love it so much I bought a really great 2nd hand one for office from eBay. Then got RCA CD changer that I run thru the Boise. Boise sound without paying the price of Boise CD changer. As long as you have the Boise stereo, it is very easy to run sound from anything else thru the Boise.

my 17-year-old son woke me up
We sat glued to the TV. Eventually he went back to bed and pulled the covers over his head. I sat and fumed at the perpetrators until I stomped in my son's room and yanked off the covers and yelled at him to go down and sign up to go over there and blow their heads off. Then we just sat and cried. We didn't even know who "they" were. He was only 17. It was just so frustrating.
I woke up this morning with
my right ankle swollen. I didn't do anything to hurt it, and it doesn't really hurt either. It sometimes has this tight sensation when I stand on it. I have no other symptoms, no fever, no warmth, no pain. I am in between doctors right now. What are your thoughts??
Wow, I woke up from a nightmare....sm
....in which I had been trying for months to find an MT job, and couldn't because I've been retired for several years. Was I glad to wake up! The good part is that with my back problems, I don't have to work sitting at a keyboard or standing on my feet (even worse for me) all day long. Praise the Lord!
above was "nm" not "sm" -- just woke up. - NM

I know some lady who woke up w/Bells and

Your other new symptoms sound like maybe (guessing here, I'm not a doctor) - trigeminal neuralgia (?).  I'm not sure - but maybe read up on it and possibly reconsult with your neurologist.  I hope you feel better real soon though!!! 



I just woke up after a 35 minute snooze. Feels like a new day. (nm)

Grammy Awards!!Feel like I just woke up from a coma..
Guess I'm really getting old now. I know my parents hated the music we listened to in the 60's but PLEASE somebody tell me it's not JUST ME!!! How do they come up with this crap???? Oh, that girl..she's country and I can actually understand what she's saying. "love your baby girl" whoever she is.
I woke up to -18 degrees this morning - it hurt to breathe outside! nm

Do you all type when you are sick? I woke up this morning with a sore throat and a stiff achy

neck and my body was kind of stiff all over, but I ignored it, got the kids off to school, and went about my usual routine of having my morning coffee and reading the paper.  I don't start work until noon every day.  As the morning wore on, my body got achier and achier and I started having chills and basically had to huddle under three blankets so I would quit shivering.  I took my temperature and it was 102.3 and I'm wonder if I have strep throat or something.  I tend to pick that up about once a year and amy pretty familiar with the symptoms.


I couldn't bare the thought of calling sick especially because I work at home and I always think it's kind of lame to call in sick when you don't physically have to go much farther then down the stairs.  I always feel extremely guilty whenever I have called in for illness in the past.  Do you guys feel that way?  Like we're somehow not entitled to take sick days because we already working from home.  I mean, I have them accrued and I am truly sick, why should I feel bad about taking one when I actually need it?


Anyway, I took a handful of Motrin and the aching has eased up and I'm sweating like a pig so the fever broke for now, and now I just feel really tired and would love to lay down and take a nap, but just feel like I shouldn't and dread the idea of calling my boss.


Oh well, guess I'll suffer through like I always do.  Every once in a while working at home doesn't feel quite fair. 


Absolutely - woke up this morning to a dozen of long stem red roses, box of candy and cards from my
Beautiful day! Everything was sitting out on my dining room table for me when I woke up. Hubby had already left for work and teens getting ready for school. Plus, my coffee was already made and bagel in the toaster for me.

I am blessed!

I have Bose Triports and after a few hours they actually hurt my head.. on top, they are almost too heavy to wear for longer than a few hours at a time. But I will put up with the pain for the SOUND QUALITY is unbeatable. Have turned my volume down to almost nothing now, whereas before I was always listening to everything on high!
I have the Bose

with the 5 CD disk changer.  The sound is magnificent!!  Especially if you like classical or opera.  You feel like you are there in person. 


When I lived in a 2-story house, I had my office in a loft upstairs and the Bose downstairs and I would put on music and could hear it all over the house, even up to the loft.


I am now in a one-story and have it in my office.  It has a remote which makes it very convenient to mute or turn down the sound when I have a difficult dictator to listen to.


I bought it on monthly payments with no interest (next best thing, or even better, than paying cash).  I see that Bose still has that offer going once in awhile.  With the CD changer, I think it was about $1200.


I feel it was a very good purchase and would do it again.


Bose CQ 2 (sm)
Like I said, I just received them yesterday, tried them, and packed them right back up, didn't even want them for 30 days knowing that I wasn't going to keep them. I just got this Radio Shack pair with the ear cups, good sound reduction. The only thing is that the volume must be up louder than that with the Bose. Even my husband, who is a fanatic about stereo equipment agreed with me. I was searching for better clarity mainly, noise reduction secondly, but the clarity is only as well as the recording. My pair at Radio Shack was about $19.99. Hope you can get a pair.
I use the Bose
headphones. They are expensive but phenomenal in cutting any outside noise.
Anyone use Bose?
I have often wondered about them, but its such an investment for at least $100.
I also want the Bose. Let us know how you like them. Sm msg
I really need them in summertime.  I love to leave my office windows open but between the lawnmowers going and all the activities that go on in summertime, it's becoming impossible to have them open.  Thanks for any info on them, if you use them!
Bose
I have had the over-the-ear type for about 9 months and they are great.

My husband has the on-ear type which he uses for general internet, etc. I had these at first but got the other pair because I didn't like the pressure on my ears with them all day and found the over-the-ear type to be more comfortable for extended use.
Bose
I agree. I have had QC2 for about a year and they are great.
Bose
First I bought the on-ear type. They were comfy for a few hours but not all day. So I gave them to my husband and they are great for him as that is about the amount he is on the computer.

Then I bought an over-the-ear pair and those are pretty comfortable for 8-hour stretches.
Does that particular Bose
actually fit around the ear without touching? Just wondering, because my cartilage gets sore when I have used similiar looking one (that did rest on the ears).

The ones I have now fit over the eas but have a different type of cushion and don't fit tight.

Thanks for any further info you can give me. : )
i have the bose
and they have both on-ear and around-the-ear types. I have the latter. I have both the passive noise (no batteries/just muffle sound by virtue of the earcups) and active noise (batteries actively counter outside noise) canceling types. Bought one set on ebay and one from company. I find the design of the noise canceling frame a bit more comfy on the head. They are both no doubt the best i've ever had as far as comfort and sound. I'm sold on 'em.
bose
I bought my noise-cancelling headphones in a large chain electronics store, so they were genuine, but also had problems with white noise. 
we are not all girls...but Bose is the best

Bose QC Headphones

Does anyone know if QC-2 or QC-3 headphones will work for transcribing on a C-phone?


TIA


Bose headphones (sm)

I just rec'd my Bose and was very disappointed.  About 2 weeks ago, I purchased a headset from Radio Shack.  Other than the volume on the Bose, I saw no difference in quality.  I used mine with a C-phone, but I have an adapter so I can use other products than Dictaphone. 


bose headphones
does anyone have the Bose headphones?  did you find its worth spending the money on them?   I buy the stethoscope type with the volume adjuster on the wire. The last 2 I had only lasted about a year each.  They are $30.  I feel I might as well splurge and get the better ones at this point. 
Bose reply
Try E-Bay...you can get new ones much cheaper there.
thank you Bose lovers!
to have mumblers come right out at you is terrific!  I am going to give it a try.  I heard you have 30 days to try their products, but I have a feeling I will enjoy them.
love my new Bose over-ear
I just got them a few weeks ago. I like the over-ear headphones, very quiet inside there. I hear almost nothing outside. Now my roommate can play his music loud enough for him and I don't hear it while working. They cost me $140 at Fry's Electronics in San Diego. Well worth the invesment as they work great on airplanes too! Music is awsome too!
Bose QC2 over ear headphones
These are the most comfy I've had. However, the over ear headphones do get a bit heavy after about 6-8 hrs. Bose makes 3 types, in ear, around ear and over ear.
Bose Headphones

I am really wanting to purchase some Bose headphones, but they are pricey, so I wanted to check here and see if anyone had them and if they are worth the money. 


 


Thank you,


Bose headphones
Don't get the earbuds - the rubber comfort thing always and I repeat ALWAYS falls off.  They have redesigned it and the new one does the same thing, just not as often.
Bose Headset
I remember someone talking about getting these headsets.  Did you get them?  Did you like them for transcription?  I'm hoping to get them for Christmas, but would like to know if they are worth it.
Bose headphones
Can anyone tell me what kind of Bose headphones work with computers? I have seen so many different kinds online, but not sure which model works with a computer...Thanks :)
I have Bose headsets

LIke some of the other posters said, bad sound files are bad sound files.  I have noticed a huge difference though in what constitutes a bad sound file for me since I got my Bose headphones.  Yes, they were pricey.  I spent about $150 for them.  I rarely have to crank the volume and I hardly ever get the staticky white noise sound that I did with regular "transcription" head phones.

We love our Bose radio too
We also just hooked up an external CD player to our Bose radio and you get the Bose sound quality that way. They are a great sound in a tiny pkg.!
Bose Quiet Comfort 2 - now they have a new
version which supposedly is even better - QC3. They are AMAZING. They do block out background noise, though its subtle. And the clarity is amazing! I can hear what the doctor is thinking!
I'll second that on the Bose headphones!(sm)
I have the 1st generation Quiet Comfort phones and they are wonderful!!!  Doesn't get any bet than Bose!
Are these as good as Bose? I havent tried either, SM
but was thinking of getting the Bose.
Does anyone use the Bose headphones? Opinion? nm
.
I love my Bose earbuds!
They are definitely worth every penny.
Bose over the ear/passive headphones
i didn't want to mess with the batteries of active noise cancellation type, but this is a passive noise cancellation, extremely comfortable and good sound; has a nice long cord. i just don't like things in my ear anymore. got mine on ebay.
Bose quiet comfort 2
Pricey but worth it. Blocks out family's TV noise, muffles sound of vacuum cleaner, makes barely audible dictation clearer.

do the Bose QC2 require batteries?
If so, how often do you find you need to replace them - and/or do you think there is any health hazard to having batteries up next to your head?  thanks.
opinions pls - which Bose headphone is best?

I am looking at Bose headphones on ebay and am trying to decide between the around the ear regular Bose's, versus the noise canceling around the ear versus noise canceling on the ear.  Anyone have these and can help me with my decision?? 


I have a pair of RCA cheaper (on the ear) phones now that are supposed to be noise canceling, but cannot really tell a big difference when I have it turned on and also notice a buzz in my ear when I do turn on the noise cancel option - any probs like this with the Bose's????  Thanks for your help. 


q re bose noise canceling

 


hi - i have a bose headset already, but am on the verge of trying the noise canceling type. my question:  can i use them passively as well? ie, switch off the nose canceling and still hear the dictation?  thanks for any response.


Bose Noise canceling
Yes, you can switch of the noise canceling. You can hear dictation whether it is on or off. I love mine, sounds like the doc is in the room with me.
R those Bose mini-stereos worth it?
I'm thinking of getting a Bose bookshelf CD players but they are soooo expensive ($800) I'm wondering if they are as great as I've heard (at least in their own literature). Anyone have one?
Bose Headphones/Radio Shack

I have definitely been considering ordering the Bose QC-3, but am a little hesitant because of their price.  I did find better prices on E-Bay, but not sure you would get a warranty with those (some are new though).  Also, since I do dictation via C-phone not sure they would work for that. 


A few years ago I also had the noise canceling headphones from Radio Shack and used them off and on while working on-site, but found them to be very warm and a bit heavy...after a few years though they were not working well...and that is why I am looking at the Bose.


Also tried the Etymotic 6 earbuds, which were supposed to be so good.  They are good, but I can't stand to have the earbuds in my ears for a very long period of time.


Let me know if you purchase the Bose...would like to hear your opinion.


If you go to messages from last week here there are a lot of good things said about the Bose QC earphones (both 2 and 3).
