Looking for a pair of audiophile headphones that are good for gaming and will have good positional accuracy when used with or without an Astro Mixamp. I've been using astro a40s for a while but the left ear is buzzing so I need a new pair. Mic doesn't matter because I have a standalone one. Price range is preferably below $200. Any suggestions are appreciated. In canada btw

Your headset is open air design, do you want open air or closed back, over the head or on-ear head phones? And as BlueFireZ - on-line purchase or store?

Here are some that meet your criteria - store purchase.

Audio Technica ATH-AD700X
Sennheiser HD 558
Sennheiser HD 518
Sennheiser RS 126-II but this is wireless and may not be the one you want.

Some brands I know but i haven't listened to them yet nor its over your price point. Online could be better as you will find better deals, so your selections would be wider.
