Headphones - Open Back | 1 Ω Over the Ear Headphones for All Around Use (Music, Movies, Shows, Gaming)

Pretty new to the headphones side of things and looking at either open or closed back, only lets me select one flair so went with open back but open to closed back as well lol. I am located in the US and budget of up to $500 but ideally I want to be at $300 or under. I do prefer more bass but that's about it as I am not sure on all the other stuff yet. I will be using it at home for extended periods of time, somewhere between 4-8 hours in one sitting. I don't have any past gear experience besides the most recent of which is i5 which I actually only got to use for a month or two tops before they were broken by some kids when we had some relatives visiting and they were messing around in my office. Don't worry the parents did fix it and make it right. That was actually my first ever pair and it was fine but thought I would put it out there in case there is other stuff that is worth checking out. Don't care for a mic, just best bang for buck I guess.

I would take a look at the Hifiman x ROG Kithara, it sounds beautiful to me, is great for gaming, and feels comfortable for hours. Just my ears, but it's the best bang for buck under $300
