What is the USB plug-in for? Do you plug the headphone,mic,and USB plug-in all at the same time? thanks!

You can use the usb or the other 2 plugs there is no reason to do both. The other 2 i believe are for people who dont have enough usb slots or perhaps so you can listen thru your speakers and talk thru the mic.

The USB plug only provides power to the blue lights on the headset. Nothing more.

Well, it does have a mic input, but I don't think it's got phantom power (not sure about this but I've only seen phantom power with XLR connectors, not with the standard headphones connector), and you need it for your mic unless it's the usb version. If it's the XLR version then this won't be of any use for you since your mic won't work without the phantom power. I recommend you get a Mbox or anything similar.

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better. You have to switch input in settings also, it's probably defaulted to "built in mic".

These are designed for a PC so it would use 2 plugs. What is your use that you can't use both or want to combine them? Are you using the mic?

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.

Not a USB plug. But most computers have a mic/ headphone port like these headphones have.

Jerome, I've not tested the headset for any other use case beyond plugging it in my USB port. Interesting question, and sorry I don't have a good answer, but if you get one, would love to hear what it is. Good luck.

In my experience using this device, there is no need to do anything more than plug it in a USB port, plug the headset and/or microphone in, and hear sound. I have had to use no other settings except volume controls. I have found that it is automatically recognized as the sound port.

M. Furukawa: You're the only person I've read on this subject (and I've read hundreds of pages on Head-fi and elsewhere) who contemplated a "separate mic dongle" with the Westone ES cable. If you went that route, how did it work for you? People talk about having to "sand them down" to make them fit.

hey thanks for the info! as it turns out, my camera DOES have a mic input. boy do I feel stupid :) but i guess I won't need this one after all. I do think that it would work in a pinch, and thanks again for taking the time to respond-SelArom

Yes, depending on the 'function' chosen, there is both, a headphone AND microphone in ONE jack! Also, there is a USB port for the same function. For the price, we believe you'll love it!

I'll be frank. You do not want to use a mic that plugs into your PC or soundcard. Put your other USB devices on a a powered external hum and plug your mic into a free PC USB port. Even if you were to get a standard XLR mic you would still need a preamp that provided Phantom Power and a USB interface to connect it to your PC. some Preamps have interfaces built in.

the model we purchased has a USB connector. It may be available with either option, verify with the source before you purchase. The description may be referring to the port to gang an additional mic if necessary (we've not needed this, works well even in a large noisy room).

It can hook up to both. the USB is for the mic and hearing other people's mics, and the audio/video is so you can hear the game through the headset.

I have this mic and would like to try that on my laptop. since it only has one plug (not two) - where exactly should I plug it in? I don't want to wreck it...What applications do you use it for? I really would like to see if it will work with dragon naturally speaking version 11.5

It's not a USB mic and therefore you need a standard mic cable. This you run into a preamp OR some device that WOULD spit out a USB signal on the other end. It may be cheaper to get some converter like that but if your sound card takes a mic cable, you're set. Most don't. Since you do have USB (I assume) i'd look for a converter device.

Can you hear audio through the headphone jack? Yes. You plug your headphones into the jack on the microphone and hear the sound picked up from the microphone immediately with no delay, no latency. I don't understand the second part of your question though. Could you be more specific?
