I have seen, from a great distance, "USB headsets." How do these wonders work? Can I bypass my problematic mic port? Do I need a dedicated soundcard or is the integrated thing on my mobo good enough? Best Buy has this sumbitch right here on sale this week; ignoring the fatalonethankyou branding, is it any good? If it sucks is there anything better that you care to recommend? Educate me, and make me better than I am now.
While I have never used a USB headset, I will say that my solution of a Bluetooth headset duct-taped to my shirt with a pair of headphones works pretty bitching in Team Fortress 2 and other Steam Enabled softwares.
