I personally have not used a USB wireless head set with Linux until today, always been kinda worried about compatibility, but today I bought one and plugged it in and it worked great!

For anyone interested
PDP Afterglow KRAL
(This is a 2.1 headset)
I picked it up for $90 at Walmart.

Setup:
plug it in, click connect on the USB, turn on headset.

Result:
Looking awesome listening to high quality sounds.

Are there drivers for that headset or is it plug and play?

Just plug and play (there are drivers, but they come default)

Also keep in mind guys, there are two forms of wireless, there is Bluetooth, and 80211 WIFI. Wireless technology is not usually very accommodating with Linux operating systems. So whenever someone tells me something worked for them with wireless and Linux, I want to know about it lol. I used to use a expensive Logitech G700 wireless mouse. But I received so much interference between the mouse and the receiver, that I wasn't able to use my mouse in Linux anymore. Now it could have been that the mouse was officially dieing too. But I went back to using a wired mouse, the Razor Deathadder Elite, and just use a cord bungee to keep me from having cord snagging issues.
