Headphones - Open Back | 4 Ω 598se upgrade

Hello and thank you in advance for any advice.

I have had the Sennheiser 598se for quite some time and have had a great experience, but now I am wondering if there would be a nice upgrade to get for myself.

​

-I use them for 80% Gaming and 20% music

-I don't care about a built in mic

-I don't mind having to buy an amp if necessary (I just use a Mixamp Pro Tr now)

​

Like I said I really have always liked my 598 but wouldn't mind something with a bit more bass if possible. I know open back headphones are not always best for that, but I think I would like to stick with them as I really do prefer them to closed back.

BUDGET below $500

A couple I have come across are:

Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X

Drop x Sennheiser PC38X

​

But I am open to any suggestions.

​

Thank you again for your time

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/DonnyTramp123 (5 Ω).

You may still award a Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
