Dont go usb, they have integrated sound drivers and bypass your sound card. Sucks ass unless you have the dirtiest sound card or on board sound. I have a steelseries 5H V2 headset and I love it. Sennheiser also makes great stuff, and they have a large range based on your budget. If you plan on spending a bit of money on a good headset a good sound card is a must have, any of the X-Fi stuff from creative is good. Lowest end will cost you 50 bones, id spend $100 and get X-FI Xtreme Gamer
