USB headsets here! Lemme test it. Flaming kids are on club penguin! (Ricky****)
Care to define ultra high end, ie what do you want from it. Otherwise the logitech USB headsets work well. (OpenMe*****)
Cad u2 and some sennheisers are good USB headsets for sound. Sennheiser seems to have construction issues though. (Borris******)

USB headsets do complicate things due to adding new input and output sound devices. (Rich****)
You're probably right. I'm just an ignoramus about USB headsets, because I've never ever had one. (Fleure*****)
Sorry to answer Lulu's question for her, but USB headsets aren't complicated, the computer just switches to it when you plug in (Kitch*****)
Not true. Maybe those closest to you all have that headset, but I don't, mine isn't a USB one Don't USB headsets complicate. (Fleure*****)
I think its bc/ I installed windows 7 &a driver I hear that USB headsets have their owner driver so I should get 1of those. (Alyssa*****)
Playtronics. My model is discontinued, but their usb headsets are top notch. (Fuzzytyp*******)
There is a conflict with 10.6, Blizz games, and USB headsets. It might not be universal, but I narrowed it to the headsets. (Dawn***)

The world of USB headsets ( that dont require other connections to work) that are compatible with Ps3 and PC is very small. = ( (Island*****)
Not only does the PS3 beep but it also supports most USB headsets which is really sweet (NathanGr*******)
I heard that it "breaks" the ability to use USB headsets too in some cases? Has been fine for me, though, on both counts (Richarda*******)
There's two ways you can handle that, use one of those usb headsets and turn the volume down on that to a comfortable level (SisterDa*******)
For USB headsets, Sound Blaster Arena is solid and inexpensive. For standard headphone jack stuff, Sennheiser HD5s are great. (Aaron*****)
From what i hear, a rockband mic works just fine for it. i've got one of those, and 2 USB headsets. im good. (HopeWith*******)
Do you sell any USB headsets w/mic that work on the Google ChromeOS Cr-48 notebook computer? (Gum**)
I think you can just plug it in and not use the controller. There are vastly superior USB headsets available if you use it a lot. (Cor***)
CR48 thought: Headphone jack but no microphone jack. Are there USB headsets? (Rzkl***)
O no! I've got an analog headset mike that's no trouble at all. I recommend them over the USB headsets. (Dectalkg*******)
That's a great option as well, for sure. Even the el-cheapo usb headsets are good quality these days (Rilan****)
Logitech has some great, affordable USB headsets that we've used for recording quality audio. (Mren****)
I remember laughing at the idea of "wearable computers" 10 years ago. Doesn't seem so silly now, with so many people having USB headsets on. (Kcz**)
Hve no problems with the model we got. My first choice is USB Headsets but if you have old PC then they wrk ok. (Sama***)
Tip: do not use USB headsets to do voice recording, it will frog you up. No control over input of mic, just sound over headset. (Farma*****)
Try a USB headset, or different port. USB headsets act as their own sound card. (Miah****)
If I plug two USB headsets into my MacBook would both be live? If not, what piece of equipment do I need to make it work? Always used Skype. (Crum****)
Cheap USB headsets+Skype+audio recording app+some agenda+editor = win, you can do it at home (Rot**)
To think doesn't think I know the downcomings of my new toy. Even USB headsets can overpower these little darlings. (Moretha******)
Yeah, I wouldn't either. I'll do a bit of research for you and let you know what I come across, in both Bluetooth & USB headsets. (Jacobsl*******)
USB headsets are Mac compatible but not the ones with Dolby headphone technology. For any questions, /DM us anytime. (Sennheis*******)
Sorry for late reply, been on the portal2 , yes, usb headsets bypass your soundcard. back to portal before I see a spoiler! (Wodg****)
Actually. question for internet: do usb headsets bypass my soundcard? my jack headsets have never worked with this soundcard. (Standa*****)
I'm in favor of USB headsets, since the integrated speakers also prevent audio echo that you might get with desktop speakers. (JBJe****)

I find that USB headsets work best with DDO, so that might be an issue with that mic. (Burr****)
