Reversal and match!

==============================

To the original poster (Licht), honestly, if all you care about is hearing voices and having them hear you, then you'll be just fine with that Logitech unit. It should do just that.

I used to own a set of Plantronics Audio .90 before I upgraded to Senneheiser HD595, and trust me, I speak from experience.


The Logitech ClearChat Comfort USB you were looking at is a USB headset, you DO NOT want a USB headset because you will not be able to use that headset with your soundcard.

Rule of thumb, if looking for a sound device, look for a brand that specializes in that particular product. Logitech specializes in keyboards and mouse, not headphones/headsets. Heck, I don't consider them to be specialist in desktop speakers as well, but that's another topic.

USB not working with my sound card is the whole reason i want USB. Since Creative's support basically blows you off whenever you ask any kind of question and the drivers are horrible.

I have the same exact sound card as you do. I'm using these drivers SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_15_0006, they are broken but there are simple ways to get around it. Trust me, using USB sound is worse than onboard sound and you'll soon find out USB sound lacks, most if not all, the options you need.

As far as hardware or software support, how many people here actually calls microsoft when they have a problem? Many of us here do not use proprietary machines, so why bother with support since we decided to support ourselves in the first place?

A great headset is the Beyerdynamic DT234pro

Another thing the PC 350 is rubbish.

Beyerdynamic DT234pro is a good headset but have you sampled the PC-350? If you call it "rubbish" what are the PC-350 cons?
