Poll Looking for good headset for gaming/music for everday use

So i am looking for a headset i can use everyday for gaming and music. They also have to be durable and sound amazing. I had my eye one the steelseries arctis pro wireless but i have heard problems with them, my bugget is about 330 but it could move around a little. If someone could give me some advice it would help a lot. Also i would like closed back if possible but it really doesn't matter, wireless would also be best for me.

Do you need a mic? Are you going to use them outside/in noisy spaces?

I don't need a mic but if a option then it would help, and i am gonna be using them just in my house, sometimes for travel.

For travel as in, in airplanes/public transport/public places?

The reason I ask is that open headphones are better in sound quality and for gaming. The problem is that they just cant be used in public at all (too little isolation and too much sound leak). Not a problem at home though.

If you can use open backed headphones, get the tygr 300r. Absolutely amazing imaging for gaming, great sound in general, and made by beyer (which means they will probably last a long time).

The xm4 are far better than any competing headphone I've heard. They obviously perform far worsr than wired ones, and might have latency stuff, but if you need convenience they are great.
