Hi! What headphones + mic do you recommend me? (The mic can be apart)

My needs:
- 50% Games: CS:GO (Good soundstage is a must), ArmA 3, Battlefield. WoW...
- 30% Music: Trapstep, Chillstep, Dubstep, EDM... (I have the Sennheiser cx 300-ii which I use on my phone, so im kinda used to their enhaced bass)
- 20% Movies/Streamings: Would like to hear what people are saying because im learning English.

How much do I have to spend? around 120€ (i wouldn't mind paying 20€ more for something really worth it)

I got some recomendations about the Kingston HyperX Cloud (I) + SoundBlaster Z combo but I have read some mixed opinions about them.

since you like bass, perhaps the dt770. v-shaped with bright treble and good bass levels. recessed mids. despite being a closed headphone soundstage isnt terrible (not as good as some open cans, but not bad for closed cans either). its going to blow your budget by a bit once you consider a soundcard but might be worthwhile.

for on the cheap, perhaps the 668b with a soundcard or amp.

hd518/hd558 are more neutral and not terribly bassy but arent as anemic as some of the more popular gaming headphones.

hxc1 is based on the takstar pro 80 which isnt a bad budget headphone. its no hifi killer but not bad for the price either.
