We're switching back and forth between Ventrilo and TeamSpeak at the moment because we're looking for a good server with a decent sound quality. Ventrilo seems to produce the best sound, but Nick found a good free server with TeamSpeak today where you can create private channels, so we're probably sticking to TS. Exactly!

I play with a single-earpiece headset on Xbox and that works just fine, it's only the voices you're gonna hear on the headphones anyway :) Sorry, it’s too late – I already ordered it.

I dunno. How about this: http://www.compumail.dk/vare-oversigt.php?varenummer=61319&type=hardware I've always had problems with my sound cards, I don't know why. I haven't had an external card since I threw out my old Soundblaster 5.1, but even now that I use built-in sound, it just. Won't. Work. I always end up spending 20-30 minutes just tweaking my sound settings. The expensive microphone I recently bought is USB, and for the first time ever I can just plug it in and record.

Only problem is that when you get up from your seat and you forget that you're wearing a headset ... you get the picture ;) Wireless would of course get rid of that problem, but I've never used wireless headsets.

Other than with mouse and keyboard I find it incredibly usefull for headsets. A class 2 device provides you transmissions within the radius of 10m without the need to be in line of sight with your PC. Using your soundcard saves CPU-time because that what they are there for and the sound could be better if you manage to configure it correctly. Troubleless wirelessness – obviously.
