An open-back gaming headset? Good luck finding those, I can only think of a few and all of those are quite expensive. Closed-back headsets are no problem, and some open-back headphones are also doable. Forgoing open-back and going with a gaming headset, I'd say HyperX Cloud III. Forgoing a microphone but going with open-back headphones, I'd say Samson SR850. And if you are willing to spend a bit more without having to buy, say, a ModMic, maybe the Corsair Virtuoso Pro.

Non-planar route, If you want gaming headphones with a mic, corsair virtuoso pro's are actually really nice in my opinion. Graphene drivers, open back, mic isn't as good as the original virtuoso's but still decent. For non "gaming" headphones I'm using dt770 pro's and sennheiser hd600 and love them both.

This is the biggest gripe I have with wireless headsets so far, almost all of them have really shit microphones, because of the limitation of Bluetooth technology. The Corsair virtuoso I have has a pretty good microphone compared to most because it connects over some 2.4ghz wireless dongle that’s effectively just modified WiFi, but the headphones themselves have massive quality issues with the ear cups breaking and the volume wheel detecting erroneous inputs making the volume randomly spike to 100% and back down again. But I’m stuck with it because it’s kinda the only headset that does what I want it to.

I use the Corsair Virtuoso, you can unplug the mic and also connect it to WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time. Super recommend, although there are more pricey
