How the fuck do you break a G430? I've had mine for like 2 years now, and only now is it beginning to slightly sound like sprinkling if the cable is put in a special needs position.
If you managed to break it within the first few days, then you're doing something wrong. Very wrong.
The mic isn't bad either, you're either giving it a lot of abuse, or just don't know how to use the software that comes installed, correctly.
The G430 requires a USB dongle to be connected to the audio and microphone jack at all times for the microphone quality to improve immensely.
If the mic audio sounds shit, you probably haven't connected the USB dongle, and then inserted the jacks into the dongle.
You also want to decrease the microphone input volume, this will get rid of a lot of static that occurs when you yell like a retard.
Otherwise, the headset is 7.1 surround and you should definitely not drop the headset from anything higher than a chair's seat.
Anyways, if you're looking for a 'better' headset, I suggest this
