I used to be a gaming youtuber until it got boring and I gave it up. But anyway I used a Razer Kraken Pro gaming headset, it's the non USB version of the Razer Kraken 7.1. I must say, the mic quality isn't that good because my mic on my headset is not USB but the audio is great. On the headset you are looking to buy the mic will be a lot better, but if you're doing Youtube I suggest buying a separate mic. It doesn't feel that comfortable after wearing it for hours, but then again I find all headsets uncomfortable. The sound is really good though and the design looks great too. Using the software Razer Synapse you can download Razer Surround to edit the bass, equalizers, voice clarity, etc... I used it for a bit because it lets any non...

I used it for a bit because it lets any non 7.1 headset or headphones have 7.1 surround sound. So from my experience Razer is good for gaming products and peripherals, but as you can tell from my logo I am a big fan of Razer. I have a Razer Kraken Pro, Razer Mamba mouse, Razer Vespula mouse mat and a Razer Tartarus gaming keypad, soon I might even buy a new Razer keyboard.

Separate microphone I have and would recommend: http://www.bluemic.com/snowball/

Anyway for the Logitech G430, this headset looks nice like the Razer Kraken 7.1. Both are around £70. Both are 7.1 surround sound headsets. I do also like Logitech products, a while back I used to have a mouse and keyboard from them, but recently I moved to Razer. So for this headset I don't know because I have never heard of it before and not looked into it.

I would suggest that you watch several of these reviews of each headset and see which one looks better:
