My computer has both UCB and Jacks. Is there any advantage in UCB headsets over one with jacks?

from what I read the usb is compatible with gaming systems like ps3 I hear it has a built in surround sound if your going to use if mainly for pc I don't see the point on getting usb

Jacks give you sound at a lower resource to your computer. USB headphones can contain a built in sound card to make quality better, however they use more cpu/ram on your computer.

If you have a good sound card and regular jacks, I'd use the normal interface. I strongly think many USB connection use an adapter that functions as a sound card, so you get the quality in the headphones commensurate with the USB adapter's 'sound card' hardware.

I don't see a headset jack on the handsets at all. The was a time long ago that I would have looked for that but never thought about it when I bought these.I don't think you can pair any type of headset to these phones. The retro handset has no purpose that I can think of, aside from maybe trying to sell it on ebay, if I can remember where I put it.

I recommend this if you would like to connect the headset to USB: SYBA external USB Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows, Mac, Linux Extra Audio Source with Microphone SD-CM-UAUD

I have no idea of what "Syba SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter, C-Media Chipset, RoHS" means but these headset have two plugs at the end: one for audio and one for mic. I have an HP pc and those two plugs are on the side. Same plug for earphones. I used my old ones for conference calls and they work. But this is a very cheap version and the mic is very short (at least for me it was) and even moving it up and down the other part couldn't hear me well. So i send mine back. Hope they will work better for you - but maybe I would put some more money on it and buy something more professional.

I 100% always recommend a sound card. Some people do some people don't, it's becoming more popular to say the sound chip on mainboards are so good an add on sound card isn't necessary; I say sound cards are essential. To use this headset look for a sound card that has 5.1 surround 3.5 mm ports, it doesn't have stereo 3.5 mm jacks, or coax, or optical it's only compatible with 5.1 3.5 mm ports. Almost all late mainboards have that built into the mainboard to start.SignedCaleb Anderson

Thanks Guys.. well that answers it. since I also have a 5.1 surround system for when the wife isn't home and I'm playing BF3, I just need to get a wired headset to continue to use, what I would believe to be, better audio processing on the standalone soundcard. But then I see items like the Razer Megaladon, which advertises 7.1, but it is USB connected... so again it would appear that device would only use the simulated surround inside the actual headset? as opposed to a minijack plugged into the soundcard, does it make a difference? or will all surround headsets do all processing in the headset and therefore doesn't matter in the least how it connects to the PC?

I would test it without the cord. Pc or ps4 and see if that's better if not than its either the base or headset. Either way it's defective, if it is better then yes 2.5 to 3.5 for standard hheadphone jack.

Not sure of your intended use for this product.I bought the UCA222 because the earphone jack on my Dell laptop went bad. It worked really well for my needs, it has a USB plug that connects to the standard USB port on my laptop. Then I connect my earphones to a standard plug on the device. No other cable required for me.

They're for mini plugs. I have a headset that can be connected to the computer for CSR work but my new job it requires me to have it connected to the phone via a 2.55mm jack. It works very well.

Both, and you can use just one, but I think I recall that both works better (I'm currently using a different headset).

Yes, The headset comes in two peices so it can be use with default audio jacks, or you can use it with USB.

I have a pair of these and I love them. The jack is at a 45 degree angle (never saw that before). I use them with my computer, my LG smartphone and my Acer tablet. All work the same. For the best sound, follow the suggestion for burning in the drivers.

Analog headsets can be plugged in any time with no drivers or anything. I have many times had static on the analog jacks though. USB headsets never have the static on the jack problem, but they are more finicky when it comes to device drivers and/or picking your audio device. Another difference is the soundcard. I'm not totally sure, but I think USB headsets all have their own sound device, whereas the analog headset uses your computer's sound card. I'm pretty sure about that but there might be some exceptions. This means you can have a fantastic soundcard on your computer and it will sound fantastic in analog headsets. Or you can have a crappy soundcard on your computer but get a good USB headset and your sound will be good, because the USB headset has its own soundcard. The bottom line for me is that I don't think I'll ever buy another analog headset. The static on the jack of the analog headset is just too annoying. No, it's not always there but it seems to always show up over time.

I use the heahphone mic for Teamspeak. Ive asked, and my friends notice the difference between my desk mic... But they say I'm still audible in game.

I highly suggest these. Logitech G230 Stereo Gaming HeadsetThe TekNmotion ones don't leave enough space for the ears horizontally. The pads are comfortable but small. In the ones I mentioned above the pads are much larger, breath easier and are just as light if not more so. The sound quality is nearly the same. The TekNmotion ones have slightly more bass but not enough to matter in the long run.

This headset comes with 2.5mm jacks whilst Blackberry uses 3.5mm inputs. Technically you can buy a converter for the input but I am not sure if that will work.

Not familiar with the detailed hardware you mention, but I bought for webinars on my PC. Your mic/spkr jacks should be the same on your laptop (3.5mm mini?). Very happy with these.
