Corsair Void 7.1 USB or Razer Kraken Chroma 7.1

Hey all,

 

Recently my Logitech G430s snapped at the head adjustment bar thing. They still work just fine but are currently stuck together with tape. So now I'm in the market for a decent headset for gaming/basic communication. Looking for one around the $130-$160 AUD mark. I have $180 but shipping will probably cost around $20. 

The two in the title seem pretty good from what I can see.

 

Corsair Gaming VOID 7.1 USB Gaming Headset Carbon
or
Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma RGB USB Gaming Headset 

I could also save for a bit longer and get something better

I was thinking wireless for a bit, but all I hear (no pun intended) is horror stories of the connections being horrible
 

Thanks in advance  :)

Corsair, because Razer headsets are pretty crappy

 

(I'm a Corsair user myself. HS-1 was the first series of headsets that Corsair made and they're still working amazingly well after some repairs for issues caused by me or the previous owner, like yanking the cable to the point where it was interrupted)

What they said, but I would suggest open headphones. SHP9500s if you can find them for a decent price, Superlux 688Bs if you are on a big budget, I also recommend this:

 

Bluetooth receiver (with mic input) for wireless headset

Internets Machine: Intel 4690k w/ Be Quiet! Pure Rock 4.7Ghz. MSI Krait z97. 16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport Ram. MSI GTX 970 SLI 1520mhz. 500GB Samsung EVO 840  & 3TB WD Blue Drive. Rosewill 1000w Modular PSU. Corsair Air 540

My Beats Yo: Desktop:SMSL SA-160 Amp, KEF Q100 w/ Dayton 100w Sub Theater: Micca MB42X-C x3, MB42X x2, COVO-S x2 w/Dayton 120w Sub Headphones:  HIFiMan HE-400i, PSB M4U2, Philips Fidelio X2, Modded Fostex T50RP, ATH-M50, NVX XPT100, Phillips SHP9500, Pioneer SE-A1000, Hyper X Cloud 1&2, CHC Silverado, Superlux 668B
