Good enough headphones?

[Themask]

So currently I’m using open back, music-oriented headphones (like the Senheiser HD 560), because they’re of pretty good quality and they don’t feel to tiring to wear. But lately I feel like I’ve been struggling to hear footsteps, so I’m wondering if I shouldn’t use my closed-back gaming headset instead (the Steelseries Arctis 5), which is less comfy to wear but it’s ‘’gaming’’ so idk.
Anyone else game with open headsets, and if so are they good?

Its not the headsets its the game. The audio of this game is different from any other shooter, you don't hear the footsteps but a procesed audio of where they should be(wich most of the time is wrong and it can happen quite often) however sometimes the simulation works as intended and hear the footsteps perfectly. Can't tell you how many pre fires I did just because I heard an enemy peek me, literally making them walk into my bullets

FYI: You need to spend time to burn in your ears into the headset you preferably want to change to. I used to use a bassy Razer Kraken Pro V2 and changed to a ATH-M40X just because razer's quality control is ♥♥♥♥ and it took a few days to adjust because the sound stage is different.

DONT USE AIRPODS like people are suggesting thats stupid i only trust wirless audio and mice that have a dedicated reciver like logitech products. AFAIK airpods use blutooth.

i had a friend with arctics 7 or 9 idk and he hated them, personally i use hyper x cloud alpha but you dont need a gaming headset. you can get products with out gaming in it, gaming tax is stupid. any headphones are fine, i did fine with an old pair on samsung earphones when my old astro headset broke.
