I've been driving sennheiser HD206 for almost 5 year now and want to buy a new headphones mainly for gaming. But i have problem, i already try EPOS Sennheiser GSP300 and Razer Blackshark V2. They both felt terrible, like over bass and some sounds were like in another room. For now i have only 2 choices SHP9500/00 and ATH-M20X and idk what to take, cause cant test them. Can someone please help me with choose, and maybe give another options under 50-80$?

The HE400se has better bass extension and an overall more neutral frequency response than the other two:

Hifiman HE400SE Review (Headphone)
This is a review and detailed measurements of the Hifiman HE400SE open back planar magnetic headphone. It was sent to me by online seller, Linsoul and costs US $149. The HE400Se doesn't look fancy: It is however quite comfortable given its thick and large pads. Weight is a bit on the high...

I cant buy them in my country for that price. Its like 110$. And it over my budget. Maximum that i can afford is something below 80$. I can buy them used, or even "new" but i think i will spend money for nothing...You can buy an open box HE400se for $90: https://store.hifiman.com/index.php/he400se-openbox.html

The Sennheiser 560S is sometimes available refurbished from Sennheiser directly for about 90 Euro.

Sennheiser HD560S Review (Headphone)
This is a review and detailed measurements of the Sennheiser HD560S. It is on kind loan from a member and costs US $170. I was taken aback by how light these headphones are. You can see it in this table relative to most of the others I have tested: This doesn't give them feeling of luxury...

Philips is open, M20X is closed.
For enjoying music the SHP9500 is the better choice, for monitoring sound in a studio or an electronic instrument the M20X is a cheap option.
If you want cheap with decent sound quality:
You could look into Superlux HD662-EVO as a cheapish closed headphone and HD668B as an open alternative.
Do not expect a long life from Superlux models.
When you prefer a bit of elevated bass and treble maybe the Mackie MC-150 ?
A headphone that is sometimes sold cheap is the Creative Aurvana Live SE.
Maybe when you can get a good deal on the Brainwavz HM5
or the Takstar PRO82
