I will be using these to listen to mostly voice, as I do transcription for a living. Thoughts on voice quality?

Crystal clear with great pick up of vocal tonal qualities. Seem a bit pricy for transcription, but I guess if you're using them all day why not buy some superior quality phones. Of equal importance is that these headphones are extremely comfortable for extended use. Hope that helps.

Fairly good pick up with this Mic and depending on the software and how well you adjust the input it should do a great job for you. I have been using this mic for a year now for podcasting and have been able to narrow the pick up range to cut out the majority of ambient noise..

There is a mic and it doesn't work really well with hearing though I can say that after using it for chat on Skype, Yahoo, Gmail, and on my mobile phone... That the quality of my voice is not very good. No matter how I hold the mic up to my mouth in any angle that I can, it doesn't change the quality besides being louder when my mouth is closer. The mic is attached to the wire, it isn't attached to the headpiece itself. As for listening quality though, it is worth it and has an amazing noise-reduction.

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

I haven't used them for anything other than music, but I don't see why they wouldn't be usable for something as delicate as transcription. You will be able to hear very clearly, even at low volume and you will be able to hear even whispers. These send the sound directly into your ear canal and block out any background noises, which is good if you are easily distracted by sounds or in a loud place.

Very good for that. As flat a frequency response as I've found across the frequency spectrum. Very clear and accurate as headphones go. I love them for music reference, which is much wider range than voice alone.

Phone call quality is good. Comparable to good quality headphones. Voice is clear, and background noise is reduced. In addition, when I have asked people how I sound to them, they say they can hear me clearly.

I found it doesn't have a lot of distortion. Is it pro-level? Not even close, but for a budget and for most people that might listen to recordings done with it, it will be fine. I've recorded performances with it, and as a shotgun mic, it filters out external noise nicely.

I love my MMX300 everyone says that I'm clear and loud when I'm using them. The mic is really high end for a headset plus sound is amazing specially if you pair them with a ASUS PCI-Express x1 Sound Card XONAR ESSENCE STX/90-YAA0C0-0UAN00Z :D

The microphone is good. I use these for hands free driving and for the price, i would recommend that you go ahead and buy two pairs as i did.

Microphone quality is excellent. There are serious audiophile headphones, albeit at a serious price!

quality of the materials is great, a little bit bulky, but you can't get good quality sound with small drivers, at least not as good like these ones. You probably will get used to it (with the sizes). Also I'm amazed about the sensitivity of the drivers and the low frequency response (tested: 23 Hz). My opinion is that you get good value for the money.

They are really good. The bass isn't naturally amplified, if you mess with the EQ, it responds to that really well. Not too rattly or anything. (from my son who got the headphones for a gift and knows way more about this stuff than I do.)

I would say it depends on what you expect to do with them, if it was to mic up a presenter, I would say yes. Background music likely ok, To deliver DJ music, or loud live performance I would say no. I have used them out in the open for weddings and they work just fine for a quite environment to carry spoken word.I have four of them and four of PV118 and that is what I use for rooms that large, I run the subs with a pair of crown xls800 and the tops with a pair of xls600.

i just got mine and the sound is on par with my bluebirdx , as a matter of fact im returning those and get me 140 bucks back , these are lighter and i got 7 hours continuous play and a few phone calls with them non stop , i will review them as soon as i get a few charges under my belt and really get them broke in , the bass is a bit strong so i used my eq on my phone to get more treble and they are louder than the bluebird x headset

The quality is great (tried with my good-ole Sennheiser HD600). And of course the speakers mute :) And please read my review before making decision.

They get pretty loud. I'm betting your only issues will be talking on the phone with them. My full face handles calls easily, I'm sure it'll do fine.
