FPS Oriented Headphones [Comfort, Spatial Sound]

Headphones - Open Back

Howdy,

I'm looking for some up to date advice on headphones that optimize:

  • First Person Shooter Gaming (spatial sound etc)
  • Comfort
  • Wired

I'm not particularly concerned about price, I'll probably be using these for 5 to 10 years.

I don't need strong isolation so I'm guessing I should go open ear?

I don't want a desktop microphone so I need a microphone solution, but I was thinking avoiding gaming headsets was for the best so I'm looking to resolve this issue with either:

I'm preferring that microphone cable solution but I don't know how good it is. I can always get a mod mic if it turns out for the worst.

I'm Happy to answer any questions to further limit the solution space.

Thanks for your advice.
