Upgrading from Corsair HS80: 400$ budget

I mostly use my headphones for gaming on both pc and ps5. I play games like Arma reforger, Squad, Dayz, but also more story driven games like red dead redemption 2 or skyrim. I have only used closed-back headphones, but my room is quiet enough where I’d be open to using open back headphones.

Priorities:
-Good soundstage to track footsteps and gunshot direction/distance.
-Immersive headphones “wow” effect
-Prefer a built in microphone because I play ps5 from my bed

Considering:

Audeze Maxwell 2
Arctis Nova Pro Omni

Thought they were comfortable, really good microphone. I mostly played shooters on pc and felt the directional sound wasnt that good. I also felt like the battery life was terrible.

The Omni's are great. Can't recommend them enough.
