These are the 2 I am looking at, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826106346 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826106381 All of the specs are the same, except the ear muffs, and USB adaptor on the 155. I usually game for long periods of time (4+ hours) and I am thinking that the 150 will hurt my ears in these long gaming sessions. Does anyone have any experience with these headsets?

The headsets will sound very much the same. They have the same drivers (speakers) inside, but the enclosure is a tiny bit different which does make miniscule differences. The only difference i see is the USB as you said

Concerning comfort, the only thing you can do is try them. Your ears are unique. Something that may be comfortable on/for my ears may not be for you.

if it uses usb then it isn't using your soundcard then correct?

Does anyone know if the 150 is indeed circumaural? The specs say that they are, however one of the reviews stated that it is biaural. Kind of confusing ><

No... it is just another way of connecting them. USB is only a means of connection, not processing.

I know what usb is but could you explain a little better for me? sorry if its a dumb question, but I have heard that usb does not make use of the soundcard and in theory it makes since, my soundblaster is connected to my headphone jack, and obviously when i plug speakers into the soundcard it is using my soundcard, but I don't see how usb headphones can use eax 3.0 etc, when usb is not connected to the soundcard.
