I currently own old Audio Technica ATH-M50 and Shure se846

i want to get a pair of over ears open back for gaming and I’d prefer them be decent for other uses. The most straightforward way to drive them is the Xbox controller and maybe with a Y splitter for mic but I could come up a way to drive them from my PC or Denon X3800 if I need to, or plug an amp into my controller I suppose.

Do you have a recommendation for this scenario under say 300-400 msrp (to hopefully get a holiday deal for around 200)?

Sennheiser/Mass HD6xx or HD560s or something the best bang for buck?
 
For the Xbox controller, you ideally want high impedace, high sensitivity, which make the HD560S, HD58X, and HD490Pro prime candidates.
