I can confirm that the best headphones for gaming are the shp 9500s if you don’t want to spend more then $150. They have almost no Bass phenomenal soundstage and are extremely directionally strong.

If you can live without wireless. Philips SHP9500 or SHP9600 are great options, and just get a mic mod like v-moda boom mic.
This is on sale, which is good deal considering the headphones themselves are usually around $80 themselves.

If they are affordable in your country I would highly recommend the Philips SHP9500 combined with an add on mic. The headphones are generally recognized as one of the most comfortable sets you can get and are going to be much better sound quality wise than any “gaming” headset. I can wear mine for hours without issue. In the US you can get them with the add on mic for around the same price as the other headsets you’re looking at.

Exactly, the mic adapter integrates a mic and replaces the default headphone cable. There’s actually a SHP9500 + mic adapter bundle you can get from Amazon (Link). If you intend to connect the headset to the Scarlett Focusrite you will need a 4-pole 3.5mm to 2 x 3-pole 3.5mm connectors (Amazon Link), also a 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adapter that I think the Scarlett Solo and 2i2 uses for microphone input. You can also connect that setup directly to your motherboard these headphones don’t really require an amplifier.
Do keep in mind the SHP9500 are very open headphones that will let a lot of ambient sound in (and also out), if you have a noisy family or a noisy GPU you could also look to the MH752. Those also include an USB audio interface that you connect the headphones to. I actually use that audio interface with all my headsets lol.

If you want a better microphone attachment, you could get just the headphone, but then get the V-Moda Boom Mic for $30.

SHP9500 + Mic. If you’re okay with open-back, where sound will leak around you, but you get better soundstage.

Good phones for gaming. They don’t block outside noise though
