I am going to buy a new headset tonight as my 15 pound one is dying. I am searching on Amazon UK and I found a lot of headsets in my desired budget. There is the Razer Kraken Pro (which looks sexy), Logitech G430 (has surround sound) and the HyperX Cloud (has best overall sound quality). I need to choose one not more than 65 pounds on Amazon. They both have their goods, but need some help deciding.

Thanks for your help, guys!

I would choose the Roccat Knave 5.1 (60 pounds)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roccat-Solid-Surround-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00275C2L6/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1415102393&sr=1-1&keywords=roccat+kave

I still use one of those over an Logitech g35 (that i think is better than the G430) and a Razer Megalodon, both more expensive (and supposed to be better) than the Roccat.

Only one advice, i get a huge improvement from switching from 96-128@16 to 192@24 quality on analogic dac output, i think that you would need a decent sond hardware to get them sound nice.
