Gaming/music headphones

Recently bought the Hifiman Sundara 2020, which sounds very good, but unfortunately,
they are not great for hearing where players are in games like CSGO2. Also, I find them to be very tight-fitting."

I hope to get some alternatives that have the sound quality of Sundara but with improvements in imaging and isolation.

I use Sennheiser HD 598SR headphones for everything. I game with the latest FPS shooters and sniper games and find the location of sound to be excellent. Sennheisers from what I read have imaging and for your price range you have a selection of open and closed back models to choose from. I would link you but geolocation kicks in with Sennheiser websites and you would not see what I see.

The Hifiman Ananda is much better. Grab one open box from Hifiman and the have the wide and deep soundstage. Also not right fitting. The Sundara has no depth to the soundstage. Enemies have be right on top of you before hearing them. They're wide, so it's disorienting to play games with those.

Ananda 1 or 2?

Ananda Stealth is what I've got, compared to the original the imaging is more accurate and not a hint of distortion even in explosion heavy games. Can hear behind you and track moving sounds better. Same comfort since it's the nice wide ski style headband.
