Can't say I would know whether my blue connectors actually go fast...
Another fun USB discovery I recently made: For some reason, my USB headset doesn't work when I plug it into my laptop ...except when I plug it into one particular USB port. There it works reliably. I have no idea how or why.
Due to cost saving its common for a new laptop to some ports of different USB specification now. If you look closely some may be marked by a different logo like s.s (super speed I think)
A headset should be perfectly happy running on an old USB 1.1 interface though, the bandwidth requirements are very low.
