What's the difference between usb headphones and headphones that connect through the usual headphone jack (black),
or line out?

USB headphones come with their own sound cards. Good for LAN, where you can just plug them in and expect to get the exact same sound you get at home without having to open up the case or install anything. Waste of time for anything else.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't soundcards the ones we have in our PCs, that act like a DAC..
So what you're saying is that there's a DAC in usb headphones? :O

Not necessarily in the actual headphones, physically, but yeah, that is what I'm saying.
