Ahh, they’re beautiful. Congrats!
I wanted a pair of cans with that wood a e s t h e t i c and ended up picking up a pair of SIVGA SV004’s. I’ve been super happy with them for over a year, and the price point was worth it.

I still think the 9500s is an excellent under-$100 open-back, especially for gaming and paired with the BoomPro.
I think the Sivga SV004 is an equally good value, and also happens to work with the BoomPro as well.
The sound is a bit different between the two, so which one you’d enjoy more would be a personal call and may depend on what types of games you like to play.

For what I’m seeing that’s readily available, your options kind of fall toward the usual suspects:
Sivga SV004 or SV007 as open-back options.
The SV002 is one of their closed-back options though the feedback on their sound has never seemed to be particularly positive, and the SV006 seems to be the preferred closed-back model but is out of stock.
As always the SHP9500.
And then there’s the Fidelio L2 whose price pushes a bit over your stated budget.
Sound leakage out of an open-back into a BoomPro isn’t really a problem unless you’re someone who tends to listen with the volume turned up higher than what most people would consider average.
I do own the 007, SHP9500 and L2 if you have any questions about those. And I’ve tried the 004 and 006 though it’s been a while at this point.
The CB-1 does have some solid sound for the price and I thought the comfort was not bad, but you’re right… you will want to mind how much abuse they take or they will not standup over the long term.

My common budget open-back recommendation is the Sivga SV007. Really nice budget open-back with the right checklist of features, and enjoyable to use. There’s also the SV005 which I see has a 5% coupon you can claim. A little less detail but a little more soundstage width than the 007, so pick your pleasure.
Normally I would include the Philips SHP9500 in my recommendation but, I had heard through the grapevine that their price was inflated due to less available stock and obviously amazon.de pricing is reflecting that. I suppose you could still have a pair shipped over from the Americas if you really wanted to get your hands on a pair. The ironic thing to me is that the Fidelio X2HRs are actually less expensive there.
