next "gaming" headset

Budget, maybe 300AUD give or take? Australia
here local and online shops consist of (local) JB Hi-Fi, Officeworks, The Good Guys, Harvey Norman, Bing Lee. (online) mwave, Umart, Scorptec, Centre Com (basically Micro Center), JW Computers
would prefer buying in person and locally (JB Hi-Fi, big electronics franchise in Australia)
Balanced soundstage - I like a little bass and "detail".
Headphones will live at my home setup. No on the go use or even office/quiet space use. Literally just in my room.
Past headphone earphone history... these stock OEM Samsung earbuds (EHS64AVFWE, the stock tips on these are amazing), Plantronics Backbeat Fit 500, 2 pairs of HyperX Cloud IIs, Plantronics RIG 500 Pro HA, and finally the HyperX Cloud Revolver S', which I've been using for 6 years. Replaced the stock pads about 2 years ago and now those are going too. I'm aware I shouldn't replace something that is perfectly functioning, that's a very consumerist mindset - but this whole earpad thing is getting fucking annoying, and also very consumerist! (made a post about that here as well). As I mentioned in that post, the faux leather on the BackBeats is still holding strong, and that shit is a decade old!
I have used all the above headphones and headsets for music, gaming and everything inbetween. They have all been pretty solid from my perspective.

Last year I picked up a cheap pair of IEMs, the KZ EDX Pro Xs. I picked up some midrange tips, SpinFit W1 ($20! hurts to call them midrange). These have been great, but I bought the TRN Conch last week, I plan to transfer the tips - not delivered yet. I basically got these for the interchangable nozzles, icl, and I wanted to hear what midrange chi-fi sounded like. I got them at a pretty good price also, basically what I paid for those tips.
To be clear I use the KZs exclusively for music. I don't find them very ideal for gaming, I suppose "fatiguing" is the word, and generally listening to isolated voices/commentary is not great on them either.

I suppose I don't really want something audiophile tier? As I'm using this for everything. I am very sick of gaming brands and headsets I cannot lie. I don't even need an actual headset w/ mic anymore, I have an external mic for that. If I ever had to take a video call, I'd do it on my phone or laptop. Maybe the last 4 headsets in my history had been pretty substainsial materials wise. Construction is metal, hard plastics. Relatively bulky and heavy compared to the casual stuff on the market. I'd maybe prefer something lighter, but I do like the fact that I've never had to worry about breaking one of these headsets. A braided cable is a need, and I don't expect anything over 200 to come with less than that.

On the topic of wireless, I'm willing to give it go as long as there's wired fallback. My preferred option would actually be 2.4GHz wireless, but to my understanding that's not a very big thing in the headphone scene, and the ones that do have it are usually gaming headsets. BT latency isn't a big deal for casual users who listen to music or those who seemingly aren't bothered by it. Headphones with no wired fallback and especially no 3.5mm jack fucking slay me.

aware that this is a very long post, just trying to be specific. feel free to ask questions.

Either suggest me a new headset based on my profile, or get suggest me some HyperX Revolver earpads that won't disintegrate in less than 24 months.

Specifically happening in the web app as I can't be bothered with the program/appw itself nowadays. This happens across browsers, and networks. No extensions, specifically no content blockers or otherwise. This goes for absolutely everything, even locally saved screeshots. This goes for me sending stuff, and people sending stuff to me.

All my content/text/image settings are unrestricted. Wtf is going on.

The download button just... doesn't work. I can press it and it has a little animation, but nothing. I have uBlock Lite ENTIRELY disabled browser wide, including in the drop down menu that shows website settings. The only other extension I have is RYTD, which Returns YouTube Dislikes. I can download other items just fine.

I looked into it and the results I found said it could be the host, which is my university through moodle (the learning platform system). This doesn't make much sense as I have always been able to download through Chrome.

I've worked out most of the kinks with Safari. This isn't a major hangup tbh but it is annoying. I can go the long way round by opening the file in Preview and then downloading it. but it's just annoying that the download button does nothing at all.

Basically title. I did a run mid 2025, and I swear it wasn't like this. It's just a bit annoying to be honest. As soon as I get the handgun, I IMMEDIATELY have the silencer equipped. Wtf?

I also have a handful of skills mastered by the first campfire.

I disabled Steam Cloud saving and removed my old saves manually from the files because my slots were full. This left the saves corrupted and I had to delete them again in-game to make them empty slots. Does that have anything to do with it? I am using the first build of the game through Betas. Current builds have horrendous UI issues (apparently due to something with the Epic port and multiplayer???), especially during quicktime events, but it impedes a lot of general gameplay too.
