I am looking for a new microphone to dictate with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I want a desktop or a wireless one so that I am not tethered to the computer. Does anyone have any recommendations?

you can't go wrong with Plantronics. I have a Plantronics C60 wireless microphone. I've had this model for around 10 years. I don't think they make it any more but you can pick a brand-new one up on eBay for around £60. It's pretty good. I also have a Plantronics USB microphone, which is always plugged into the computer. If, for some reason, the wireless microphone hasn't been charged I use the USB one. It's faultless. Like you, I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking and I'm using it to dictate this post. I haven't needed to correct any words (I'm hoping it's accurate).

Is it a CS60, an over ear one rather than one that goes over the head?

Mine goes over my head. I never use the ear clip device.
