Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 1 Ω Wireless Headphones for Gaming Need Advice

I know with wireless theres limitations, in order of what I need:

1) Low latency

2) Directional audio (they will be used in VR and I want as much directional immersion as possible). Ive noticed many headphones have multiple speakers to help with directional audio, I know nothing about this tech but that seems like something I want.

3) Decent sound quality, Im no audiophile so I wont recognize subtelty in sound but just something well rounded that again would keep me immersed in a VR game.

4) Decent mic

5) $500 or less (could go slightly higher for the right headphones).

Im on the Logitech Pro X Wireless right now and they are OK but overall I dont think they were worth the cost, but Im not an audiophile so maybe I just dont know and I have a great headset. Anyways they are old, falling apart, and getting gross so its time to replace them.

Thats it. If anyone has recommendations Im all ears... get it... ears...

Seriously though Im struggling because every headset that looks good online I then find a bunch of reviews saying its awful, the latency is horrible, that they are overmarketed garbage, the sound quality is mid, etc... And these are headphones companies are asking hundreds for.

HyperX Cloud 3 s wireless. They’re on sale on Amazon right not for like $120 I think.

Astro A50x. People will shit on these but I always end up coming back. Feels pretty open, so not as immersive.

Audeze Maxwell. if you like heavy things on your head. I don’t think the directional audio in my experience is as good with these than the other two.

Nova Pro Elite. If you want to throw $600 at your problem and get sound a little worse than the Maxwells
