    Currently owning a G430 aswell so hey!

    What are your wishes specifically?:

    • Open or closed earshells?
    • On-ear or over-ear?
    • Stereo, 5.1 or 7.1?
    • Microphone?
    • Volume slider on the cable?
    • Wired, wireless?
    • Only PC, or also consoles / mobile?

    Closed is preferred
    Over-ear
    Trying to get 5.1. if 7.1 is possible for a bit more, why not.
    Yes, microphone.
    Slider not really needed on the cable.
    Wired for sure, I will forget the battery if it will be wireless.
    Pc. I ain't a console peasant.

    F7are, can you tell me what's the G430 like? I've been looking at it for quite a while now and I'm quite tempted to get them.

    Downie, I'd suggest you to avoid Razer headsets since their quality is bollocks.

    G430 is brilliant! I really suggest to take it. And ye, razor was a no go for me already. My brother once had one, broke within 6 months.

    Edit: That Kingston HyperX Cloud does look nice.
    How is it on the ears oku?

    Oh, do you mind telling me how long did the G430 last for?

    @Chale@Chale G430 is quite nice. The only problem I am having right now is that Surround sound simply breaks when trying to use a voice program at the same time. No idea why.

    A shitty 10 dollar headset from Costco should do it.

    Sounds like a very annoying issue. My friend suggested me to go with expensive headphones and a cheaper mic, that could work too. But still, your choice.

    Make sure you get one with an separate power supply, because usb ports on the PC will give crappy noise.
    A separate amp is nice too since it will have more power to present the sound nicely.
