How many use USB headphones?

[DEFEATEST]

Just curious who uses USB headphones and how many of you still use analog headphone jacks into your soundcard. Im thinking of getting a new headset and was wondering if I should go the pure digital route or not. I have a nice set of Senn PC 350's that I use for gaming and in general on my PC but I also use them on my electric drums and quite like them for the drums. I may take this opportunity to purchase a new headset for my PC.

the Sennheiser PC350 are probably going to sound better than any USB headset you buy.

Ok, thanks. So what are the pros to going USB anyway? So analog is still the way to go then?

np

pros would be convenience factor and affordability. cons would be sound quality.

yes, analog is the way to go but it's going to cost you more because you need to invest in a sound card for your PC or external D/A converter and Headphone Amplifier for example

I use a Blue Snowball with shock mount and pop screen, Sennheiser HD600 headphones and Geek Pulse X. all these things are really expensive when compared to a $100 USB Headset but sound so much better.

For sure. I've been using an a sound card for years. Thanks for your help! The ol' analog it shall be!
