I mentioned that in the post. At the bottom. $400 as I am not willing to go nuts with this purchase. Even paying over $300 feels ridiculous for headphones.

Also, have you considered trying IEMs? I'm sure you can find one that fits your needs perfectly in your budget.

I've seen mention of IEM's but haven't looked into them yet. Do they perform as well as headphones? How would an IEM have any soundstage being inserted into the ear?

I don't know how they managed to do it, it's pretty much magic.

Unfortunately my experience with IEMs is limited to the two that I have and both are outside your budget so I can't give you any good suggestions.

But if you follow this sub you'll see there is a new IEM coming out basically every other week that is somehow the most budget friendly and also best IEM. So I think you have a lot of options to choose from, probably even more than headphones.

Soundstage is going to be smaller on an IEM. I will say sound stage doesn't matter nearly as much as imaging with gaming. If you want to try a good, cheap IEM with great imaging, they the truth ear hexa. Really good for music if you like hearing details. Bass is a little lacking but it helps with hearing everything so if works well for gaming
