i highly recommend 3D audio if you got a decent pair of headphones.
You need to download Dolby Atmos and enable that for it to work. It makes everything 3dimensional and you could hear the echos and bullet reverb and complete 360 surround sound makes it more immersive.
that's not really going to cut it. Quality feeds quality. You won't notice much improvement from something barely above some cheap Philips that you had for years.
I recommend some offerings from something reputable by Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic

No you have the "surround headphones" You probably want to use an EQ to make a flat response and use DTS or Sonic depending on your low range response I find Dolby to be muddy on the low end.
I use Equalizer APO https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/ but it has some issues with usability and has to be reinstalled at every driver change or update which is annoying
but it works and is free. You can use a plugin called Peace with it to make the UI friendlier.
Then you just find your headphones and pull tested flat response from a source you like, here are some compiled ones Https:/github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results and just copy paste the numbers into a text file and point your preferred EQ type using APO's Config Editor at the text file as a control point. Use a Preamp module to aim for 0 db for your headphones percieved range clipping is bad so aim for no red in the USUALLY 30hz -20Khz range.
Then tweak it to your liking and your off to personalised 3d audio for your games.
