Gaming Headset - Logitech VS. Razer

[Omga4000]

Hey there

So I'm planning to purchase a new gaming headset as my old
one's are starting to perish (SteelSeries Siberia V2)

I do not live in the USA and not all of the gaming headsets out there are available.
Also, I've converted the price to USD for your convenience
but don't compare it to prices in the USA.

So, these are my options:
1) Razer Tiamat 2.2 ~115$
2) Logitech G430 ~128$
3) Razer BlackShark Expert 2.0 ~141$

The Tiamat seem pretty decent for it's price,
but I had a pretty bad experience with Razer in the past so I'm pretty cautious now...
Perhaps Logitech is the right answer?

What do you think?

Thank you,
Omga4000

I've had very bad experience with Razer headsets. about an year ago I bought Razer Megalodon (160€) and I had so many problems with them, they weren't comfortable at all, the microphone was very cheap quality. (I'm talking about a few dollars)
Everytime I was in Skype/TeamSpeak with my mates they could hear everything that happened in my house, after a few months the headset started bugging and it almost broke, I somehow got it to work and the next day I ordered Logitech G930 (Same headset as G430 but wireless) and I'm still using the same Logitech headset, it feels comfortable and good quality. I highly recommend G430 for you. Razer makes good mices and decent keyboards but they don't have any experience with headsets, you can google "Razer megalodon bugs" and find hundreds of problems their users have had.

TL;dr: I recommend Logitech G430, stay far from Razer headsets.

No such thing as TL;DR when I'm the one asking the question!
Thank you very much for your opinion
