Questions for Linux Skype users...

[vakkotaur]

I am in need of a proper headset w/mic. to use with Skype (I have yet to truly set things up for use, so don't waste effort trying to call me). I have not been too impressed with what I've tried so far as one part or another fails, but I haven't spent a great deal on getting a fancy headset either.

So: Recommendations? Would a USB headset be a Good Idea or an invitation to disaster? Should I consider wireless at all?

the one I use for everything is a fairly ordinary logitech. Oh, and it's USB.

I've installed a second sound card in my machine and use a Plantronics headset. Any inexpensive old SoundBlaster will do.

The plantronics headset I have also came with a USB dongle/sound "card", which I've used, as well. Both worked equally well.
