Decent headset for around $70 AUD

[officiallyasimulator]

Hey guys, i am in the market for a headset around $70 AUD, and im looking at either the G230 or the G430 from Logitech, my friend has the G420s and i like them, but im not sure if they are the best bang for the buck.

Can you afford the Corsair 1400?

Get the Logitech G430's, I have them, great sound quality also very durible. Also there is a USB Dongle that attaches to the Audio and Microphone cables (better sound quality). And they have 7.1 Surround sound for movies

G230 is better than G430.

 

I have both G230 & HyperX Cloud.

 

Build quality: HyperX Cloud

 

Mic: Tie

 

Comfort: HyperX Cloud

 

Highs: HyperX Cloud (more clarity)

 

Mids: HyperX Cloud (more clarity)

 

Lows: G230. The G230 has a lot of bass while not being too 'rumbly'. (stronger bass same clarity)

 

Positional accuracy: G230

 

Noise isolation: HyperX Cloud

 

The HyperX Cloud is like double the price of the G230 though... so up to you. I honestly don't like one over the other but I wear the HyperX Cloud because they're much more comfortable. The earpads of the G230 are very scratchy and get uncomfortable after an hour or so.

To be honest, it is up to you, go into a local PC shop and they should let you try on different headsets, Thats how I found out about my G430s. Also some people find different headsets comfierer

What are the Corsair 1400's, like, i'm in the market for a new headset too, does this headset have good audio and good mic quality? OR should i go up to $129?

Best mic quality of the headsets up to its price IMO, you may need to boost the mic volumes by 10dB but it still sounds good. Sound quality is pretty good too, has a bit of a V-shape (good base and trebble but mids are still good but not as good) but you can always EQ them.

EDIT: The G230 uses the same drivers and everything as the G430 except it doesn't have te sound card and the colour is different.
