I find that to be a great advantage. This lets me make noise (typing, shuffling papers, listening to online radio) but others in the web conference don't know I've turned off the mic. Another nice thing about using a USB connected headset is that it appears as a second sound card. So now I can listen to the web conference on the headset while playing some music on the speakers. --Bob.
