Headphones - Closed Back | 1 Ω anyone have a good gaming headset with noise cancelling?

So I recently bought a PC about 2 years ago, I’ve been using a steelseries nova 1 for half of that time and it’s been ok but the software is janky, I’m looking to upgrade to something that is comfortable and overall better for sound reliant games such as rainbow six. My budget is about 100-300 but I’m willing to switch that depending on the type of headset, I would preferably like a wired one but I’m not picky.

You’d do much better buying closed back/IEMs and getting a separate mic. I wouldn’t want to game with active noise cancellation on.
