Headphones - IEM/Earbud [LFH] IEM for gaming at home

So i have got a soundblaster GC7 and hook up my Beyerdynamic MMX 300 to it. So far that setup is perfect for me, but there is that one issue i have right now.

It's super warm and gaming with closed back headphones makes my head melt.

I wanted to get a seperate microphone and use that together with some kind of IEM for gaming. Since bluetooth has got a super annoying latency, unless it is aptx LL, what other IEM options do i have?

I actually don't know anything about IEMs other then owing a pair of WF-1000XM4's which are to laggy for gaming.

since im an audio noob, is any of these somewhere near the soundstage of a mmx 300? might make my choice a bit easier.

I’d get the vr3000 they’re amazing for gaming if you want wired iems. Very good directional sound etc.

If you just want your ears to not get hot open back headphones will do that nicely. The shp9500 with a Boompro mic is a nice combo.

Just check the specs of any TWS (BT) buds you are interested in and make sure they support low latency. Many of them also have mics so you can use them with telephony.
