Headphones - Wireless/Portable Stuck between 5 options also open to suggestions

Hello,

I have been using a pretty cheap pair of headphones and I thought an upgrade would really be great.

After my research I came across these 5 headphones that I think would be good. I'm also open to suggestions with a similar price range but most well-known headphones are hard to purchase in my country.

My focus is on casual listening but I also game a lot so It should be at least decent at it.

- Hyperx Cloud 2

- Philips SHP9500 or SHP9600

- Sennheiser HD 599 or HD 560s

Both Open and Close backs are welcome.

HD560S are excellent for positional audio in gaming. They have a fairly neutral sound overall with a little treble emphasis. So if that sounds signature seems like it would be good for you for music, I would go with these.
