USB Gaming Headsets

There are numerous advantages to using a USB headset over an analog headset for your listening pleasure. Not only are they generally louder than traditional headsets thanks to USB's 5 volts of power, but they also use their own sound card independent of your on-board audio to produce a cleaner sound, and allow for separation between voice and music applications if desired. Usually USB headsets also come with a few other perks, such as wireless capabilities, microphones, or surround sound.
