    Logitech G430 vs Plantronics GameCom 780 Headsets

    Looking for a headset and from my research I'm pretty much stuck between the Plantronics GameCom 780 and the Logitech G430. Possibly also the Corsair Vengeance 1500 but less so on that. Other suggestions are welcome as well if you believe there is an entirely different better option, but the...
