USB headsets can be used in sound recording, speech recognition, VoIP (Voice over IP) calling or online computer games. They combine headphones with a microphone and connect to your computer via USB, rather than the traditional 3.5mm audio jacks. Because of the way these headsets connect to your system, you may need to adjust program settings to ensure they work correctly. The method depends on the operating system.
