Word.

No experience with wireless headphones/headsets myself, but I remember reading that it only gets "good" with some models that are upwards of $200. Sounds like you aren't so much worried about the fidelity as the convenience of not having to deal with wires, though. I'd say check out those...

Exactly. The Corsair is the quickest and easiest fix. I agree with everyone saying to get a dedicated soundcard, headphones, and a mic. That's my setup plus an amp. The Zalman mic is super crisp and clear, though no noise cancelling so it'll pick up every noise in your room (in my experience).

I'd say go with the analog out from your on-board sound.

I have a buddy who likes the Corsair headset you mention. Is sound quality important? If not, you can probably pick just about any of the gaming headsets in your price range and they'll be about the same.

I had the same thought as I was reading your post hah. I'd say just try it out for 10 cents. Can always get rid of it.

Took a look and was thinking the same thing.

Loving it so far, but have a couple quibbles (one of which is pretty big). * Very console-ish. Think someone else already said this. It just feels like I'm playing a console game on my PC. Guess this is where gaming is headed anyway. This isn't too bad, really, but I feel like I should...

I'd have to suggest the Zalman clip-on as well. I have a Koss SB40 of my own, but the Zalman mic I clip on to my BD 770s sounds far, far better. Hell, it's only $10. As long as you already have a decent set of headphones go this route.

I remember seeing the PedoBear stick on SRK and wanting one for myself hah! Love that stick man.

Agreed! You'll love the DT770 for gaming, just will have to search for a used pair for around that price.

For just gaming, gotta recommend the Koss SB-40. Costs $30-40, have an attached mic ( I know not a need heh), and have great positioning.

I actually like the Koss SB40 for an integrated solution. Prefer my K701s or DT770s if I don't need to use the mic, but the Koss definitely works well as a gaming headphone on the cheap ($30-40).

Hope this means more competition for SF4 PC! I actually prefer it to the PS3 version; seems I get better connections with people.

Could try running WASAPI in Foobar.
