Why are you looking for USB headsets? They appear to cost twice as much, use up a usb port, bandwidth, & cpu time. You also don't have any idea how good the ADC in the dongle is. Or their drivers could suck or not get updated in the future.

WTF dude? You do know there are Macs out there without a line-in port... right? He wasn't looking for approval as to whether he should get one, he wants to know the differences between them. Try answering the question.

I guess I need to keep up with the diff. specs more.

I have had good experiences with Plantronics and Andrea (analog connections though).
