my current headset is starting to break so i am looking for new one in case they break totaly so my thoughts right now is:
getting a audio technica ath-m50x with just a simple cheap mic
or the logitech wireless g930
or the logitech g430 7.1
or Corsair VOID RGB USB Dolby 7.1
or the Sennheiser GAME one if i can get a good price on those
my price range is something around the g930 budget and its important for me have 7.1 surround(even digital like dolby)
i need some help
and also wanted to ask whats the diffrance between the logitech g930 and the g933 because the price of the g33 is alot more than the g930
p.s:i have right now a steelseires sound card from the siberia elite
 
m50x really is not suited for gaming due to small soundstage. you can do it (i own one and have done it but bought them more for music) but there are better products out there.

the game one is a good choice as it based on the sennheiser hd5xx series of headphones. or, if it is cheaper for you to buy the hd518/558/598 and pair with a mic thats a good route as well.

want 7.1? you could always use razer free surround software if your onboard does not have it. otherwise, a cheap soundcard like the xonar dg will add it (dolby headphone).

heres a cheap option:

hd518 $68
xonar dg $30
moovmic $20
-----
$118

upgrades? modmic is a better mic. hd558 has nicer pads and build quality.

too expensive? try the hyper x cloud. for under $100 its a good choice.
 
thx man and i curntely have an external sound card from my steelseries seberia elite i think i can use that maybe and if i buy the hd518 with mic it will be more than to get the game one cause my freind can get me enough discont on the game one so its cost like 10-15$ more than the hd518
 
if you can get the game one for cheaper, then go that route then. it is essentially the same thing but with a mic strapped to it already.

no idea how good the soundcard from the siberia elite is. if you notice any issues or things just dont sound right you could always get something else like the dg but you could certainly try what you have.
