Creative Fatal1ty HS-800 Gaming Headset - Thoughts?

Hey all,

Looking for a headset on a budget (£25-30 max really) to replace my cheapo £10 USB set.

Found this item in the weekly deal which looks pretty good and has decent reviews.

My main question really is does anyone know if this uses audio jacks or USB?

I hope it uses proper jacks as I am fed up with using the USB and I recon I would get better sound quality that way? It would only be on-board sound but I have a decent (at least when I bought it) Mobo so it should at least be an improvement right?

Cheers,
Howie.

They are good, if a little old. I would get these instead - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-014-PT&groupid=702&catid=1058&subcat=1719

Ah ok. They sound pretty good and a great price too, will certainly consider them over the others.
Thanks

Plantronic do cracking headsets in that price range, better than the Creative one imo.
