Headsets

I have used the Spectra USB Transcription Headset for several years now. I really like the under the chin style (like a stethoscope) and the price, in my opinion, is great. To me they are comfortable and really light, so I almost forget I'm wearing them. Another reason why I stay with them is they bypass your computer's sound card which is an added bonus if you're using a laptop. I'm on my third set now and felt lost when the first two quit working. I ended up using some random brand "spare" or earbuds (gasp!) for a few days until my new ones arrived.

Recently a couple people that I work with have mentioned noise cancelling sets and how much they like them. Well this got me thinking that maybe I am missing out. Finding the Spectra headset was a tough task for me. I'm a creature of habit, in case anyone is wondering, so I don't know if I should chance it lol. I mean the thought of up and changing to something else is a little concerning. What if they are too heavy/bulky? What if they don't sound good? What if they don't last long enough for the price I pay? Ugh...

Should I stick with what I know works and what I like? What headset do you like?
