I know there may be an obvious choice but I’d really like to see a good modern choice for around $200 or less? Open back would be preferred as my closed back sennheisers are nice for travel, but a bad choice for gaming. Any ideas? Let me know, and thanks!

Edit: I’m not exactly looking for a lot of bass, just something more noticeable than my closed back sennheisers which even for a closed back offer little to no bass. Just a little bit of a low end will do better than these I have now.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Drew P : "Open back headphones for gaming and music, with a decent low end, for around $200?"

I know there may be an obvious choice but I’d really like to see a good modern choice for around $200 or less? Open back would be preferred as my closed back sennheisers are nice for travel, but a bad choice for gaming. And if needed for the headphones, would I need an amp for said headphones? i have looked at the Beyer Dynamic DT990’s for example, but I have no idea how to drive it if it needs an amp. I’m not exactly a genius when it comes to headphones, I just want good sound with decent bass and an amp if needed for $200 and under. It can go above that price maybe to $300 but I’d rather it stay below the $200 mark. Any ideas? Let me know, and thanks!
