For 5.1 gaming headsets, USB or 3.5 mm connection?

[tipsycoma]

I am looking for a good 5.1 simulated surround sound headset for gaming. I have my eye on these two:

The first has a series of 3.5 connectors for the front, center/subwoofer, and rear channels, along with a USB for power.

The second is simply a USB cord.

Which one of these headsets would you recommend? Thanks I really appreciate any help.

One with multi connection is better than just the USB. Means you can use the unit even on MP3 player or anything with mini jack.

As far as sounds go I don't know both unit.
