Which would you recommend?

The Plantronics DSP-500 (http://plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/catalog/display_product_detail.jhtml?rootId=cat640035&prodId=prod440044&productTypeId=cat1430032)

Or..

The Plantronics .Audio 90 (http://plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/catalog/display_product_detail.jhtml?rootId=cat640035&prodId=prod440020&productTypeId=cat1430032)

The DSP-500 has USB connectivity, whereas the .Audio 90 has regular old 3.5mm jacks. The .Audio 90 sure is cheap compared to the DSP-500, so it makes me think that the sound quality blows... can anybody here prove me wrong? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

I live in the UK, so I'm gonna get jipped on prices, but I've found places that sell the DSP-500 for £75, and the .Audio 90 for £35.

Opinions people.

i use the audio 90 the sound is perfect but the mic....

when it works it works fine but both me and 2 other friends who have the same have had their mics just stop working.

I keep hearing stories of how the 90s break really easily...

I use the Cyber Acoustics AC-644 (http://www.cyberacoustics.com/go/to-na.en/index.cfm?fuseaction=products&brand=Cyber%20Acoustics&category=Speech&model=AC%2D644R%2Dus), it records pretty good quality stuff, and the sound is really good, too.

Not to mention extremely comfortable.

I just went to pick up a pair of .Audio 90s, and they seem pretty good. Sound is good, although a little quiet at max volume, but that's fine for me. Now to go test the mic by yelling at unfortunte Counter-Strike players..
