I bought two headsets (headphones + mic) to be used with Ventrilo for World of Warcraft. One connects through USB (I didn't even know this was possible) and the other connects through the normal means (PCI sound card right? - the green/pink holes). In general, am I losing out on quality, if all other things are held constant, with a headset connected through USB?

I've been testing the USB one for three weeks. I haven't opened the other one yet. I will return one to Best Buy.
