Noob headphone/headset knowledge

Background:

Ever since my Astro A40s or 50s (don't remember which one I had) broke.
I've had one headset with a mix amp and one without, both were Astros. The A50s mic iirc, kept breaking after repeatedly getting new A50s.

Now:
I'd like to have a different pair more these reasons:
-Over-the-ear
-comfortable
-durable
-can use for FPS (hearing footsteps)
-music
-movies
-leaning towards detachable wires and not completely wired

I've been looking around and for gaming, open-ear are good for natural/immersive sounds with hearing footsteps for FPS. Would the quality be great for music and movies as well or is that targeted for closed-ear? I've never had open-ear headphones/headset.

These are the ones I have been looking into:
-Audio-Technica ATH-ADG1X
-Audio-Technica ATH-M50x
-Audio Technica ATH-AD900X
-Audio Technica ATH-AD700X
-Sennheiser HD 558
-Sennheiser HD 559
-Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO
-HyperX Cloud Revolver S Gaming Headset with Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound
