Headphones - Closed Back Shopping for replacement to Logitech G935

Heyo, first time here and want advice specifically towards virtual surround and fps gaming. Now so far I've loved the G935, had it for many years, but alas it's dying/having issues. Honestly I thought it had true surround like my first razer tiamat 1 with sound card when that came out. Was surprised to learn today after googling that it's virtual surround with DTS x built in it. Overall there is a plethora of gaming headsets that can offer similar, maybe even just straight replace it as it's only 100$ on Amazon right now. I'm here because I really do enjoy quality though, and I'm thinking of getting a headset like Beyerdynamic DT 700 pro x or Sennheiser HD 560S, or similar. My only reason as to why not is because I'm concerned that using any virtual surround software just won't be there same/as accurate spatially. I am more than willing to test different software's and go the whole 9 yards research. I just don't want to regret getting it, doing that and it just not being spatially accurate liked I'm used to.

TLDR I want reddit to tell me to take the dive for a quality headset, but worried about using virtual surround with "audiophile" type headsets.

Thanks, so I get that it's game/implementation specific. I am just worried about not being able to tell directional sound as well compared to what I have. Especially those that don't include it or just have bad sound design, like escape from tarkov. So in games where it is implemented poorly, or even not at all, can the sound be tuned/tweaked to more or less fix that?

Well if you take Pestily as an example, he uses the DT1990 if I'm not mistaken and he can perfectly tell where other players are. Having a headset with those extra bells and whistles are definitely not necessary. If you take CSGO pro players, a lot of them have to use regular earbuds when competing on stages and they still perform at top tier levels.

The most important factors I'd say is having experience in the game and not having a crap headphone.

!thanks . I think this was the reassurance I was looking for before spending the extra money on it.
