[SOLVED] Is the Logitech G430 still good in 2019 for gaming?

I only do gaming though I want to do more multiplayer gaming. The Logitech G430 is on sale for £53 with 7.1 surround sound and USB. Is that a good deal? What headset should I get for £50 or under preferably as that's my budget for a gaming headset. I do have a mic though it's pretty bad since it's cheap but I need to get a new headset since my 2 year old headphones are breaking down. Is this a good deal? Many thanks in advance! Should I get HyperX Stinger instead or Corsair? The Arctic 3 headphones are on sale for £46.

I have these.
7.1 in headphones is a misnomer. no headphones in that price range have a sub-woofer and 7 speakers which is what 7.1 means.
these are comfy cozy with huge earcups and a mic that is worth the price alone.

for an example of the mic
Yeah I don't really care about 7.1 though it would be cool for playing Battlefield 5 maybe or other fps games. But I would prefer a cheaper headset with comfy earphones. Sadly those are not available in the UK 🙁
