AirPods Pro 2 for earbuds and Sennheiser Momentum 4 for headphones. Both work well.

I tried the Sennheiser Momentum 4 for gaming. When they are in wireless mode (Bluetooth), the sound was good unless I joined a voice chat, at which point it would dedicate one channel to the mic and would leave the audio on a single channel. This lead to horrible, tinny sounding audio. I ended up returning them which was quite a shame since I really liked the battery life, design & sound when I wasn't in a voice chat.

I have Senn Momentum 4’s which are great wireless, but I just got the Hifiman Ananda Nano’s and they are fantastic. They are open back, so better for listening in a quieter setting. My headphone testing tune is the Opening jam —> China—> Mind left body jam —> Rider on Dick’s Picks 12 (Providence Civic Center 6/26/74 and Boston Garden 6/28/74 . It’s my absolute favorite China Riders partially because it is so crystal clear. The soundstage on the Ananda nano’s is outstanding— you can hear the position of the band on stage, and the clarity is amazing. It’s alot of headphone for 319 right now on Amazon. They are a few years old, but they were 800 or so when they were initially released. They are my end game over the ears (at least for now). I specifically looked for headphones that had the most soundstage because I listen to so much Dead. My listening set up is: ALAC or FLAC from iPhone/iPad/MacBook Pro— Qudelix 5k DAC— Douk audio preamp— Douk audio headphone amp — Ananada’s.

Sennheiser Momentum 4 can be found close to that budget. Maybe some refurbs. They are supposed to have best sound quality, but medicore ANC. Sony ULT wear and Bose QC have much better ANC. Sony has overwhelming bass and are quite capable with EQ and loaded with features. Bose have best ANC, are most comfy and have crystal clear sound. If you don't use max volume (and isolated headphones with ANC help to avoid that), people should not hear your music.

Not sure if they are studio headphones, but I'm pretty sure they are not gaming headsets either. I got my bose quietcomfort 15 around 2012 iirc and they are still my pc headphones to this day (I have a sennheiser momentum 4 for when I have to walk around the house and don't want a wire interfering). The qc works without a problem and honestly they are one of the nicest headphones I had the pleasure of interacting with.
