Quality Head sets? Help

deRusett said:

I work on the road, often with my notebook beside me so I can pull into Parking lots and type after a phone call or after a meeting.


I have been looking at Dragon Natural Speaking (DNS) and a friend is going to let me test his out my next trip, before I go and buy it.


I don't tend to care about sound quality out of my notebook so I have the default onboard sound system available with a Dell inspiron 1520.

Will the Audio in on this be of high enough quality? does the Quality of Audio In differ much from card to Card?

Next,

I will need my own Headset, as my friend has an in the ear headset which neither of us really wants to share.

Noise canceling is a must, over the head single ear is preferable

I have a Playtronics? headset for my Phone, sound quality with it is not the greatest, but it doesn't have to be, but for this DNS software I require utmost quality to maximize the speed of voice to text conversion

thank you for your in site all

As far as I can recall, DNS doesn't make use of the sound card much so the onboard one should be sufficient.

As far as headphones go, the in-ear ones will probably give you better noise cancellation. Etymotics ER4's are great. If you want an over the ear headphones, then perhaps the sennheisers 220's.
