durvish Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) I am thinking of getting a usb gaming headset for well gaming! Is anyone using a set? How is the functionality? Which headset are you using? Edited January 4, 2006 by durvish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I have a headset. I've only tried teamspeak once and now all it gets used for is skype. My 2c: forget about usb - just get a headset with plain old audio jacks. Plug one into your mic in port and the other into headphones out - sorted. Unless, of course, you have a notebook or something without those ports. USB is unecessary and may well lead to headaches in Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachwor Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I agree. While USB ones can work there are still problems that can occur because the headset was to run with software. Also, whether this is true or not, it seems that a USB connection would not be as clear as a standard headphone jack to the back of your sound card.

Pwnious Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I don't think that a headset is better than another. But if you want to use it for gaming, you should get onew with unwanted noise cancelation, and a mic on/off switch. I think you can get one for 30$ or ebay!!!!
