USB vs 3.5mm

I was quite excited about this when I saw it mentioned in Hexus' newsletter. Unfortunately, the inclusion of a USB connector puts me off.

My Roccat Kave (which I'm happy with) has a USB connector for power only. You can also plug it into the wall; however when connected to the PC, you get volume control. The sound outputs are 3.5mm, my personal preference.

It would be nice if these sets could include USB and 4x3.5mm (inc mic) options. It might be a bit more complex to implement, but not that much more.

But it does have both USB and 3.5mm options. Check out HWC's review on it.

Thanks, Hacksaw907, and welcome to Hexus!

I evidently spoke too early, and your curt correction helps me to reassess how quickly I condemn products; nevertheless, unless I'm mistaken, the 3.5mm input wasn't mentioned in Hexus' article. (It should have been!)
