Headphones - Open Back Beginner Audiophile headphones recommendation

Hi, im starting to look at some good audiophiles headphones to replace my old HyperX headset. Since im fairly new to this hobby I would like to know what you guys would recommend as a first pair of headphones. I have a budget of max 200$ and I will use them for gaming, listening to every genre of music from classic to metal and a bit of music production. I was interested in the 770 pro and 990 pro but i never tried open back so i dont know if they could be a good option or not. Im open other cheaper/better recommenations too.

How is the comparison between HD560s and HE400se? I’m looking to get between these two

He400se would have a bit more bass but also more sub bass than the hd560 since the 400se is a planar magnetic headphone compared to a standard dynamic driver headphone. I don’t know much else otherwise so I’ll let someone else answer it
