Hello,

I am looking to purchase a new gamins headset system for my PC, and I was wondering if a USB without an upgraded sound card or a TRS with a sound card would be better?

Here's the USB headset: http://tinyurl.com/3j2qj9x

Here's the TRS headset: http://tinyurl.com/3tgnwcr with this sound card: http://tinyurl.com/3dfe6ha

Any suggestions as to which sound card or headset would be any better, please let me know about it!

Thank you for your time,

AJ

personally i'd say go for the usb one purely because it allows for switch-able sound without unplugging your speakers , the two soundcards " on board and usb soundcard allow you to swap default device and hot switch your sound in games or while doing things"
 
Well, you'll get higher quality audio going the dedicated soundcard route; even going from a G35 [which was a very good headset for its price, all things considered] to a Xense + PC350 was a major upgrade in the audio department...

I'd recommend a different soundcard though; I'm not to keen of Creative these days.
