Seeking advice with future headphone purchase. suggestions?

[headphonequestions]

Hola everyone! I am seeking some advice on future purchase.

I am a competitive player mainly in the FPS scene, I play a bunch of different ones but mainly Rainbow Six Siege.
 

I have used a few pair of headphones, 770, 990, 1990, T1 ( 2nd gen ) Logitech G pro & a handful of in-ears.

I run them all on my Modius - Asgard schiit stack & before that I ran them on my GOXLR interface.

I had to part ways with my 1990 and picked up the Beyerdynamic T1's which I must say I have not been super impressed with.
 

So I come to you to ask for advice, I see a lot of SHP9500 being mentioned, however difficult to get your hands on in EU ( willing to fish for some in NA and pay import if I have to )
Various Sennheiser 5xx variants / 800S ( super high end )

I am really just looking for some feedback/experiences/recommendations if anyone could be so kind -
the more the better, I am happy to read a longer paragraph if it means more information

TLDR:

Gaming headphone for FPS games ( competitively )
Can be run via high-end DAC/AMP
In a quiet room, sound leak/background noise is monitored/controlled.
Budget - no ceiling

my advice is get some noise cancelling headphones for peace and tranquility

Fidelio X2HR's for a really really wide soundstage apparently, still decent imaging and good bass. (These can be bought on amazon.de or co.uk for about 150 euros)

HD 58X for a more vocal presentation and less bass. Great imaging but not that of a huge soundstage.

If you are up for planar magnetic, the HE 4XX's are good I've heard, not that good of a build quality. The HE 400i 2020's are supposed to be good as well. Sundaras are a better pick since the build is better and the sound is just more refined.

 

I've recommended these based off of reviews.

I mean if budget is unlimited, then HD800S just for the soundstage and imaging. I've personally not heard them but, that seems to be what they're known for.
