Are these headsets worth it?

Hey guys, I noticed that the Astro brand is pretty popular among the public and youtubers. I was wondering if it was all talk or if they really are just that good. I was looking into logitech g930 and g430 but apparently those are considered mid range gaming headsets. (What is wrong with review websites?) Anyway, I didn't really want to look at any other brand because these are the most well known and as far as I know, used. I am open to use Razer though. I just don't want to have super deep bass which I experienced with the Electras.

So are the brands all talk or do they actually function in ways that outshine the competition.

The headsets are:
Astro A40's and 50's
Logitech G930/430
Wireless Razer Headsets.
I'm open to other brands but I'm sort of close minded to Razer, Logitech, and Astro.
Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: I'd prefer wireless headsets but it doesn't matter much.
Edit 2: I'm not focusing on Razer. I made this thread so I could move away from them.

Hi. <3[/quote]
People do say that they are overpiced though. And I am leaning toward them being overpriced. But they are compatible with pc and 360
@1RedWhip Hm, okay.

Is the quality good on astros? Like is it really worth $250

Honestly, I realized they were pretty cheap, but they got the job done. So it was more of a "I know this one works and is almost decent."
And why would my opinion affect you helping me? I thought I made it clear that I was moving on, but oh well.

I don't think they are all sponsored but the smaller youtubers, (>150k) seem to really like them. And reviewers seem to praise them despite their price.
