JBL Quantum 910. The lower-tier ones are decent as well. All have a flip mic that makes it super easy to mute yourself.
I had a similar journey, starting with gaming headsets like the JBL Quantum 910X and Logitech Pro X2. Around mid-2024, I began exploring Hi-Fi and studio headphones, first with a Fiio K11 and a pair of HD660S, then upgrading to the HD660S2. I eventually settled on the closed-back DT1770 MK2 paired with a Fiio K19 as my daily drivers, and they’ve been excellent. I also own a pair of DT 900 Pro X open-backs and have been tempted to swap them for the DT1990 Pro MK2.
Totally person dependent but I just bought a pair of JBL Quantum 910p and I LOVE them. Not probably good for people who are sweats. The sound stage is pretty cinematic. Good booming bass, etc. I can hear footsteps fine though.
