You will have to plug your mic into your onboard sound. An extention may help with that.
Yeah like one of these.
I don't see why that wouldn't work, though that's so short, I'd go for one like this. I really don't know if there is any danger of either the PC or the phone damaging the other if both are producing sound at the same time, though.
An alternative may be as follows. Assuming the audio cable is permanent on your speakers, you could just get this and plug it into your pc, then tape or zip tie the female end to your desk where you can reach and swap the speaker cable more easily. Does that make sense?
Super late to the party, but some of the pros and cons you listed aren't exactly accurate.
Frequency Response: Yes, the v2 has a much wider range as far as frequency response goes. That said, a human with almost perfect hearing can only hear ~20Hz-20kHz, so the added range on the v2 is kinda useless. Most people can't even distinguish over 12-15kHz.
Cable Length: You listed shorter cable length as a bad thing, but for many people, having an unnecessarily long cable can be annoying. You can always extend a shorter cable, but coiling/wrapping a longer cable can be frustrating and even bad for the cable.
Mic Freq. Response: If you consider that a humans talking voice covers a range of about 85Hz-300Hz (a high pitched female scream can reach ~3000Hz), the difference between a mic that goes from 10,000Hz to 16,000Hz is useless in a headset. Since the v2 goes down to 50Hz (vs the v3's 100Hz) that is a tangible difference, although only for men with lower voices.
Mic Sensitivity: The v2 has higher sensitivity and will provide more gain, although a 4dB difference isn't huge.
Headphone Impedance: Without opening a huge can of worms, there is no ideal impedance for headphones. The relationship that impedance has on sound quality is much more complex, and from a PC gaming standpoint, has more to do with what's driving the headphones (motherboard, sound card, amp, DAC, etc). Also, a 3 Ohm difference is fairly negligible and both headsets can easily be driven my any PC without the need for further amplification.
