Help me choose an entry level Gaming Headset

AMDGrill

As title says, I have evaluated a few candidates within the same price range. 
Current contestants are:
Logitech G231 Prodigy - I like the folding mic on this one
Steelseries Siberia 200 White - Looks elegant

Bloody G501 Radar360 7.1 - Matches with the rest of the peripherals
HP Omen 800
Coolermaster MasterPulse Bass FX - Looks fine
MSI DS501
Sennheiser HD 205
Platronics Rig 400 Stereo
Plantronics Rig 500HX (XboxOne?) - Looks extremely attractive || 500E version not avaliable
Plantronics Rig 505 Lava

ThermalTake TteSports Shock - I wanted to get this for a while now
 

Could you help me choose?
I would make a call but I either heard or read something bad about my go-to's so I can't really make a conclusion, and I don't know much about specs so I can't decide that way either.
It will be used for gaming and everyday use, on my Laptop, which has a sound card compatible with SoundBlaster Cinema 3 software. 
So yeah, I'm clueless, help.

From all the given options, i will go for G231, its exactly like g430 but without the usb soundcard which in my opinion is a gimmick.

If you can get HyperX Cloud core, that will be the best out of all the options you put here.

 

BUT if you can get this SHP9500+vmoda boompro, that will be the best gaming headset under $100, no gaming headsets under, same price or higher priced (with some exceptions) that can compete with it. SHP9500 is an open back headphone + a boom mic = gaming headset.

Sadly, HyperX Cloud Core is not among the discounts currently and SHP9500 for some reason, is equal to $178 (680₺ or so) for whatever reason, so sadly they are not an option. 

G231 looks charming but what about the Rig 400 and the Siberia 200? Bouncing between these 3 currently

Plantronics gaming headsets in general are decent but i liked the gamecon 380 (quite okay for the price around $15 at that time cos of discounts), siberia 200 is the rebrand of the v2, which are also decent. G231 is just slightly better than those two in my opinion.
