For the past week I've been checking out loads and loads of reviews on headsets. My old Creative Fatal1ty is fairly close to death and I'd really like a wireless one. However after all this time I'm still no closer to deciding on one and there are no stores anywhere near me where I could go to see the physical product. So I'm hoping you guys can give some first hand experiences and suggestions.

Requirements: Decent sound, microphone, battery life and over-ear comfort. Those sweaty leatherette ear-pads is a deal-breaker for me. Price should be under €200,-
After discarding a bunch because of bad reviews and limited functionality etc. I'm currently looking at these 3 the most.

The Logitech G930 (€150) leatherette ear-pads but I can buy the blue pads of a G430 and switch them out. I especially like its software and G buttons, however the mic boom isn't that great.
The Corsair 2100 (€125) seems pretty good too when it comes to comfort and sound quality, however the only functions it has are volume control and power on/off...Also it has the same boom-mic as the Logitech.
The Turtle Beach Z300 (€180). While using the pc dongle with dualband you can also simultaneously connect it to a bluetooth device. Also it has a nice bendy, removable microphone. However it doesn't have any real software and (unlike the G930) you need to go into windows sound settings to switch between surround&stereo. Also I hear the bass and mic volume can be quite weak. If not for those inconveniences and uncertainties I would probably pick this one for its functionalities. Also I hear some complaints about the automatic power-off and its voice notifications and unfortunately there are no G-keys or media player controls.

Thanks for reading and I hope you guys can provide some insight.
