Interested in a few new headsets, can't decide which.

So, my previous headset broke after a well done job, and I'm currently looking for new ones. 

My budget is around 80-110$ more or less, and I noticed some really good looking ones.

 

There's the new Siberia RAW Prism from SteelSeries, looks awesome.

Someone recommended the Logitech G430,

Siberia V2 7.1 USB/Frost Blue USB 

Or something else that you find as a good prodcut and fits my pocket ;)

Help me decide, please!

 

Thanks! :)

 

Edit: my usage is mostly for gaming, though I listen to a whole lot of music as well. Probably 60%Gaming 40%Music

Some people here will tell you the Kingston HyperX Cloud.

 

Can't go wrong either with a steelseries

Linus gave the Kingston HyperX cloud a Stuff that doesn't suck treatment and rightly so. It cannot be beat for that price bracket.

Friend got it, borrowed it for a day because I wanted to know what's what. It feels amazing, it sounds good (Still a bit on the bass heavy side as Linus already mentioned but still good overall) and the mic is of decent enough quality. Really I in this price bracket I cannot recommend anything else (Tried siberia but was bad with my glasses, they sounded a bit meh and way too base heavy) and the Kraken Pro (Same story) aside from maybe the G35. It's bass heavier than the Hyperx cloud but I like it that way. The G35 also has an excellent mic and sits so comfortably :P

 

Edit: I do not remember who but one of our active forum members has a more detailed review on the HyperX cloud on this forum. Let me try to find it for you it will be better than me telling you how it is

It can't be beat up to about $150.

I find that the G35 comes close but surpasses it if you like bass more.

Isn't that wireless? And the sound signature it's pretty darn good on the cloud. It has a decent mic that quite adjustable. I just wish it was a bit stiffer to hold its place a bit better. Also I think the boom is a bit long for for where the mic is mounted. Many headsets have this issue. The mic is a bit sensitive at times to surrounding noise. I actually had to twist the 2 I've used (one mine, one a friends) as the mic was pointing up toward my nose and not towards my mouth. A quick twist fixed this though.

The G930 is wireless, the G35 is the wired version.

what would you say beats it at $150?

I think there is a sennheiser that is that low, maybe PC360? There is also the Plantronics Gamecom commander but its price fluctuates hard and has its issues.

Guys I have a problem

Sadly I don't live in the US and shipping to where I live costs a lot more, so I have to go for different ones. 

Help? 

By the way, I already have a studio microphone, so good headphones will do great for me.

Oh I got it. 

Anyways, I think I'll need some recommendations for different pair of headphones/headset. 

I have a separate studio microphone, so headphones are prefered in this case, though can't go wrong with a headset either
