Leather, even faux leather, comes at a premium that most headset buyers aren't willing to shell out.

If you want the best positioning audio around i have to say that neither the G430 nor any 7.1 virtual surround sound headset can offer that and as a matter of fact in the case of some headsets i really suggest turning that option off when playing games.

Pro: It's a lot more comfortable than a lot of other headsets around the same price. The surround sound is incredible when you listen to something that has surround sound. Con: - It is too pricey.

Both headsets sound good enough, but they don't have the same range and emphasis. The Logitech G430 has a very full bass, but lacks detail in the mid-range and higher tones. The Plantronics Gamecom 780 is the opposite, with more detail in the higher regions, but not as much bass.

If you're a stickler for sound stay away from these. They sound horrible. Really hollow, quiet and tinny. They're lightweight but are still so uncomfortable. Within minutes the top of your head and ears will hurt.

There are three variations of headsets gamers desire: the cheap ones just for console chat, expensive, surround-sound multipurpose headsets, and those falling somewhere in between the two extremes.

in my day so I've gotten pretty familiar with how they are. With the return of Logitech's G series, they have released a few new headsets that remind me of the ones of old. Today, I have the Logitech G430 gaming headset with me and I put it through its paces with some games and tunes.
