can the USB be used instead of the mic/headphone jacks?

The USB cable on the headset is only there for powering the LED lights. It's actually a nice feature as you can unplug the USB when you don't want the lights on. Unfortunately that means that you have to use the supplied audio jacks in order to actually use the headset.

no it can not. the usb is only for the blue lighting in the headphone nothing else.

No, the USB plug is used to power the blue lights on the headset and possibly the speakers in the ears.

You plug the USB in then there is a little jack prong you plug in as well. In all honesty I liked them at first but not to impressed with them after a while. They do not interact well with all computers. I would try a different product if I were to repurchase this type of product.

You can use the usb or the other 2 plugs there is no reason to do both. The other 2 i believe are for people who dont have enough usb slots or perhaps so you can listen thru your speakers and talk thru the mic.

Yes. Inline on/off for the mic. Entire cable is removable from the headset. The dual option can be connected or the USB, or simply the auxilary. USB seems to have the best connection. Overall, all connection options are available and interchangeable. via connection from mini USB.

You can but the XLR -USB calble will need to have it's own A/D convereter. This is what you are looking for. HDE 10ft/3m XLR Female to USB 2.0 Cable Instruments/Microphones - BlackCheck this video out toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY_C3EBiNy0

I have used the USB ports for many things just never a mic. I have condenser mics that I have going in xlr. At that point in time the USB mic would not really be using the akai as an injured device in your daw... It would be listed under that mic separately.

Yes you can use this software with a USB Mic. I use the Blue Snowball which is a usb microphone.

Yes you can. I found the bluetooth unreliable and relied on the usb anyways.

Yes, you can. However, I have been having problems the usb port in seems to be recording when is not recording.

I wont say yes, the software is basic.. and what your asking for is not impossiable. The Mic is very good, and since it's uSB, if you were to fill all your USB ports, I don't see why not.

Not without an adapter. It has the old style plugins for the mic and headphones.

Not a USB plug. But most computers have a mic/ headphone port like these headphones have.

Yes, basically. Plugging in the USB cable will set up a new USB audio output in Windows 7/8, and you could use that device for anything really. But the output is limited to 48kzh / 16-bit if that matters to you. It is designed so that you would use the USB device as your "default communications device" and then plug in a digital or analog cable and set that device as the "default device" for other applications. You would lose partial mixer functionality using it in this way.

Yes, make sure you select it as your default audio output with the USB dongle. If not you can buy a cable where you connect the red&white plugs into it and it comes out as a dual 3.5mm output for audio and input for microphone.

There is no microphone jack. You will need a USB adapter in order to use an external microphone, such as one for a headset.

No you can only connect HDMI and USB to it. No mic jack. This device selling point is cheap and night vision. Don't expect anything else

Hi Jane,The USB option is really meant for computer-to-device communication. You could use the output jack, which is used for headphones for your car, and maybe buy an adapter for it.

There are seperate ports for headphones and microphone. you would need seperate microphone.
