G430 died, please help me pick new headphones

Hi guys,

My Logitech G430 sadly died about 2 weeks ago, and I just got the 50 euros I paid for it back (RMA).

During that time I've been thinking about what sort of headset I should get to replace it.

I want something that is just as comfortable as or more comfortable than the G430 (big, soft cups and liner without too harsh of a clamp), so I thought maybe I'll just get another 430, but then I saw the 432 for the same price, which is supposed to sound better, but has a shorter cable which is annoying for me because I like to put my headphones on, sit on the couch and watch a movie, but that requires a long cable or wireless headphones.
A great microphone isn't a must, but it needs to be clear so as not to annoy my friends online

I also love listening to music, and quite like watching movies but I know literally nothing about audio, but I want something that sounds better than the G430. I have no idea what to get.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a headset that sounds good, is comfortable and preferably has a long cable/wireless connection and surround sound. My budget is around 50 euros, but if it's really good I could go up to 90 at the very highest.

Sorry for the long post but headsets are very important to me because I plan to use them for atleast a few years.

Thanks for your advice.

 

Edit:

After some thinking, I've got some more "requirements"

I would really like for the headphones to be wireless and look quite discrete so I can wear them in class or on public transport without feeling like a dunce

 

Edit:

Here's a list of headsets I'm considering. I'd love to get some feedback on this list

Which of these headsets is the BEST?

True, but even I know for a fact that there are better options in the same price range. Also I don't have a lot of money to spend.

Still thanks for taking the time to help me :)

Beats are trash tbh. You can get much better headphones for the same price.

I would recommend hyperx cloud. I love my pair of hyperx cloud II. 

How comfortable are those?

Do they also not touch your ears and just lightly clamp to your head? I know it's a dumb question but I really hate it when headphones touch or rub the outside of my ear

They are quite comfy. Much more comfortable than my mx50s. I think they did very well to make it fairly adjustable as well.

Always used a pair of cloud II headphones, were very comfortable and sounded good. The best part was they required no extra vendor software to use the USB soundcard.
