What is the main difference between the USB headsets and the analog headsets other than price?
602398
The plug in attachment is different,and the quality of headset varies a lot as well as the price,personally I like audio technica headsets.

I don't know the technical aspects of the differences since I haven't tried both types with my computer. Sorry.

Usb headset has only usb as plugin. Please look at picture of the usb and you will see. Analogue has 2 plugs, one for headphone and other for microphone, works with audio and mic ports on pcs or macs.

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.

The set with the analog connection (not USB ), has TWO 3.5 mm plugs. If you are thinking of using these with a game controller (XBOX uses 2.5 mm plugs), you will need an adapter such as this one: http://www.headsetbuddy.com/xbox-360-pc-headset-adapter-cable/ (01-PC35-XBOX360)

They're basically the same headset except one is specific for PC/Mac/Mobile (Z Seven) and the other is for PS4/PS3/XBone/XB360/PC/MAC/Mobile (XP Seven).

I use both the 120 and the 130 headsets. The 130 has more features and also has slightly more base. Since I have high frequency hearing loss, I prefer the 120. I am able to let my wife use the 130 while I use the 120. One of the charging /transmitters is not plugged into the audio jacks and is simply used for a charging base. We do not specifically charge either headset on one base or the other, but instead use which base happens to be closest or empty. I also know that transmitting works for either, but as stated before the 130 has more features. (which I don't use) These are the best headsets I have ever used.

I own both microphones and the only difference I could find between the two is the capsule size. they work ok the capsules will overload pretty easily. also the connectors are very funky. They make a universal connector that does not work very well. You will have to tape them to keep them from making noise. For a little bit more money I would recommend the Galaxy Audio HSE Unidirectional Single Ear Hook Earset Microphone. I own all 3 headsets the Galaxy sounds much better and the connectors are custom to each manufacture. Not one universal connector that you have to try to tape to keep from making connection noise. I ended up replacing all my SE50 and SE10 cables with the Galaxy replacement cables. The replacement cables are about $50 each so by time you're done you might as well had bought the galaxy headset you'll be a much happier person even though it's a little bit more expensive. I hope you find this helpful. I see the SE50 and the galaxy are the same price. I would definitely go with the Galaxy

The version of this headset that I purchased I got specifically for the computer so it has a USB plug. There are versions that have the more universal headset type plug that should work. My son loves his! He says his friends say his voice comes through really clear without a lot of background noise. Hope this helps :)

When I bought the headset it came with a receiver. However, I found that the receiver was interchangeable with my Husband's and mine, so if you have another receiver, give it a try. It's just a USB wireless receiver.

That is correct. This headset comes with two (2) 1/8 inch connectors -- one for mic input and one for headphones out. Which is ideal since that frees up an extra USB port for something else. What else would you use those 1/8th in. jacks for anyway if not headphones? There is an adaptor available on Amazon if you absolutely must use the USB.

There is no way to know with any purely analog microphone. Some usb models may have that capability.

The headset has 3 connections: 1) a 3.5mm stereo audio input (to plug into a standard headphone out on an audio source) 2) a 3.5mm stereo mic output (to plug into a microphone level in on some device). Though there really is only a single microphone.. I don't know why the plug is stereo.and 3) a USB plug for power (it does some amplification)

The USB is for power only. Not for sound transmission. Optical is your only means of getting sound from the source, to your headphones.

btw after writing my last comment i went to www.macspeech.com and checked out their headsets and some of them look really good. pricey though i'd stick with the usb microphones and pic one from their page and go for it

There is an audio (analog) out socket, but not specially for headsets. I think the other answers give more information than I have.

Hello, yes the computer is ok for using a headset. Port is USB 1.1, thank you, best regards.

I am not sure, but I can say unlike most other headsets I bought this one is still working well. I drop them on the floor, or get caught up in the cord leading to the USB port all the time. I know the warranty was at least 90 days and possibly a year.

USB, if you are doing FPS games and need to locate the direction of noise, shots, airplanes overhead etc.; this headset is not the one you should buy. Logitech makes a better headset for that purpose and has better surround sound. I own both brands and you should read the reviews on Logitech top models.
