There's another issue - I had a true 5.1 headset, which crammed 4 drivers into each earpiece and connected to my then audio card, a CL Audigy. It worked well, but it was a hassle. It meant 4 cables running from the back of my PC to my headset, and if I wanted to use my speakers (I'd only use the headset for gaming, speakers for Youtube/etc) I'd have to hunt out all these cables behind my desk and find which goes where to use the headset again.

Now I have a USB 5.1 headset, I plug it in to the USB hub that's on my desk and Windows changes my audio device to the headset. I remove it, Windows changes back to onboard. Much simpler, much quicker. The sound probably isn't as good as my old set up, but it's too close for me to tell the difference. Well worth the reduction in hassle!
