Hey all, Just looking for some advice really.

At the moment I have the following stuff.

IEM I have Simgott supermix 4, I really like them but even after tip rolling through 6-7 types so far, I still get uncomfy inner ears/itchy ears after a while. (At the moment im using eletech baroque stage tips, spinfits were the most comfy temporarily but I still struggle to wear them for more than 30-40minutes)

For headphones I have Sennheiser HD560s (super comfy, nice for daily wear but not loving them for FPS gaming, I've had them for several years now)

I also have a nice nice pair of Beyerdynamic t5p, first generation that I've had since new. But I'm looking for something I can wear for a few hours at a time, as well as a wider sound stage.

-

I tried a set of Audeze Maxwell 1's recently, and absolutely loved the planar detail, but I get fairly chronic headaches and they are possibly the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever worn. (I get chronic headaches anyway)

I got a pair of astro a50 gen5 (gaming headphones) a couple of days ago to try for gaming, but I'm not really loving it, they're super comfy though. I'm leaning towards returning them.

Any suggestions?
I dont particularly want or need wireless
I don't have a major preference between open and closed back (open might be nice for a change though).

I'm driving my headphones with a fiio btr17 at the moment, and I'm happy EQing anything I get.
