I wanted to ask everyone here for some suggestions as my Tritton Kunai headset broke in half two months ago and now after Christmas expenses I finally can replace it. My budget moves between 70-80€ at most, I know I won't be able to reach any amazing quality with it but to be honest after coming from a Creative Fatal1ty Pro Series HS-800 the sound-quality of the Tritton Kunai already blew me away so I guess I'm easily pleased in that department. I just want something with the same quality and bass of the Kunai atleast 
Another thing about the Kunai I liked was the fact that it worked with a USB soundcard and the headset itself had a single 3.5mm connector for both the headphones and microphone combined which meant that I could easily use it for my 3DS, Vita or even my phone whenever I am at my desk and got a incoming call. Something like that would be great again but not 100% necessarily. As far as usage goes I would primarily use it for listening to music, Skype and playing League of Legends and Battlefield 4 on a somewhat daily basis.
Honestly I wouldn't even mind getting another Tritton Kunai since aside from it breaking apart I was happy with it but seeing that its price rose for whatever reason I thought I might aswell ask for suggestions here to not waste my money. I already looked around Amazon and saw plenty of 5.1/7.1 headsets and even wireless headsets scraping my price-class but seemingly every decent headset has about 20 1-Star reviews full of complaints that the plastic will eventually break to pieces anywhere between 6-24 months after purchase like with my Kunai so I'm unsure :/
Some notable headsets that piqued my interest (these all have "breaks fast" complaints too):
I also considered the Sony Playstation headsets as I heard they are quite great for PC usage too but I'm not sure I want to make the jump to wireless, if, the battery should atleast last me 5h a day minimum as I listen to everything via my headset after nightfall to not wake people up
Thanks for any help and suggestions in advance, I'm seriously not that knowledgeable about audio in general and appreciate every advice
And just a short TL;DR:
Bonus-points:
Oh and I'm in Europe so any US-deals won't apply for me

- Logitech G430
- Plantronics GameCom 780
- Plantronics GameCom 788 USB
- Speedlink Medusa 5.1 (half of the buyers say it's absolute crap, others say the build-quality is great so I'm conflicted here )

And just a short TL;DR:
- Budget around 70-80€
- Atleast the audio quality and bass like a Tritton Kunai
- Daily usage for music (256-320kb/s MP3's not FLAC), Skype, League of Legends, ocassional BF4
Bonus-points:
- USB/3.5mm connector combo for use with 3DS/Vita/phone
- 5.1/7.1 shenanigans
- Wireless? (5h of daily usage minimum)
