I was wondering which of these headsets would be the best choice. These are the only ones available in my area and these are the ones that would fit in my budget.

Kingston HyperX Cloud - This is the cheapest one out of them all.
Corsair Vengeance 1400
G.Skill SV710 - This has 7.1 surround, but is also the most expensive. i also dont know if they're any good since gskill is new to headsets.
Logitech G430
Plantronics Gamecom 788 - Im sort of doubtful of this brand, don't really hear much about it.
Razer Kraken Pro - I see a lot of these, most expensive out of all.

That is all of my choices. Please do give honest opinions. If you possible, can you make a hierarchy chart so that i know which one to buy if ever the best one is out of stock. Thank you very much

Just read the forum and you'll see that basically all of those have some horrible first hand use reviews.

Best headset, HD518 or ATH-M40X with a cheap mic for now. If you absolutely must get something on that list ("7.1"and "surround" are NOT REAL REASONS TO DO SO), the plantronics one will probably last the longest. You might not have heard about that company but they are quite famous in the office/industrial audio space (and space audio space, they were started by NASA members for NASA purposes)

I searched for the ATH-M40x ,but only M30x and M50x are available. the M30x is just as expensive as the ones i gave as options. Would this still be better than the others?
 
Get a set of Plantronics 377 for $20 off ebay, I have 3 sets for my family and just ordered a pair for me because my son snapped one of them. Large earpads, comfy, mic is not the best but good, sound good (I have several sets to compare ranging from the $20 Senheiser 201 to a bit over $100 SteelSeries sets and the Plantronics 377 do not sound worse than any of them).

I researched and went to 2 stores, and for some weird reason, the ATH-m40x is not available where i'm from. So i'm going with the m30x since the m50x costs way too much for me.
