Has USB plug-in (so one might need to go to Radio Shack for a USB "multi-port cluster," if your computer has limited USB sockets). Works very well with my Drangon 12 (Nuance product).voice recognition with my writing on Microsoft Word Overall, price is quite reasonable for the expectatoins of the device with voice recogntion software. Highly recommended as a peripheral device which enhances the software package one is using.
Review: Great USB headset - Performs flawlessly. It's comfortable on my head, the audio is clear and I haven't had one issue with the mic or the speakers. (Word to the wise - if you use this, or any other headset, with Skype or a similar app, you may want to set the microphone volume to a static setting instead of letting the application control the volume automatically. If you cough, or even sniffle for example, the app may compensate by dropping the mic volume low for several seconds and your callers can't hear your immediate subsequent speech.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent headset with only a few minor flaws
*by W***0 on August 25, 2013*

I purchased the Andrea NC-181 VM USB headset for use with Dragon Naturally Speaking Premium 12. So far, it has worked flawlessly. There are only a few relatively minor quibbles I have with it that prevent it from being a full 5 stars for me. They are: 1) It has not one, but TWO very bright blue LED lights on it. As a general rule, I am not normally bothered but such things, but in this case the LED that is near the USB port flashes as you speak, which is quite annoying. The LED near the volume control doesn't bother me much since it's usually below my line of sight and dangling down under my chin. 2) As you can see from the picture, one side is the earphone and the other the temple piece or pad. I find that the temple piece is quite uncomfortable for me for any kind of extended session. I haven't been able to find a better way to place it that doesn't cause this discomfort. Perhaps after I fuss with it a little more I can resolve this complaint, but for now it's another annoying probem; not insurmountable or anything and certainly not enough to not want to use the headset, but something that makes it less than ideal to use. 3) This is really not such a "bad" thing and has also been mentioned by another reviewer, but that is that the manual talks about installing the software when, in fact, no software is included with the package. But this is a VERY tiny quibble because all you have to do is go the website that is listed in the manual and download the software. I've found that the majority of items that I have purchased over the years require me to go to their website in order to upgrade the included software to the latest and greatest. The only difference here being that you simply have to go directly to download. Just not a big deal at all. So, that's the "bad" stuff. The good stuff is that this headset is, when all is said and done, quite a bargain; at least for what I am using it for and that is, as I have said, for use with Dragon. Although I have done only the preliminary training sessions with my new DNS software, the results have been almost flawless so far. I'm also using it for some 3D graphics tutorials that I listen to. Again, the headset is very clear and allows me to work on my tutorials or listen to whatever any time of day or night without worrying about disturbing anyone else. A further plus for the Andrea NC-181 is the long cord; there's nothing more frustrating to me than buying a product that needs to be plugged into my computer that comes with a too short cord. There have been several negative reviews about this headset looking and/or being "cheap" or flimsy. I guess I have to respond to that by saying that we're talking here about a headset with mic that works very well for under $50. To me, that's a bargain. Of course, time will tell if this holds up over time or not. I will find out and let you know if it breaks down on me in the long haul, but so far so good. I can easily recommend it as an a very good tool to use in a variety of situations.
