If 7.1 isn't necessary and you already have a mic, I would suggest you take a peek at just normal audiophile headphones. If you don't mind Reddit, some good pointers and ideas in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/HeadphoneAdvice/comments/yobt7y/has_anyone_used_audiophile_headphones_for_gaming/.
I've been using Beyerdynamic DT880 pro for a few years and they're amazing. Comfortable as hell and pads can be removed easily and cleaned or swapped. Great sound, zero regrets with these headphones. The entire DT lineup from them is very good as far as I know. Another go-to option is Sennheiser's 600 series, but they're a bit more expensive. There are numerous others but those are the ones that I know of.
I would suggest browsing what the /r/HeadphoneAdvice has to say, asking about audiophile headphones for gaming is a common question.
Second this. I've got the DT 990 Pros and the Fiio K5 Pro that I got used for a good price.
There's no bother going for "gaming" headphones, they're overpriced and get you way less than audio oriented ones, for what, Bluetooth?
which adds latency btw, no bueno
The 880s are bulletproof, I daily drove mine for a decade (even back then recommendation was also audiophile headphones and a mic) before replacing the pads and modding them to have a detachable cable. I use a pair of DT1990 now with the same dekoni audio pads I used on my 880s, I keep meaning to get some other headphones for variety but I've honestly had no complaints with Beyerdynamic.
You can get some good deals on Audiophile Headphones (like the senheiser' 650) on Drop.com. That's where i got mine, since it's a colab model they label it as a HD 6XX but it should be the exact same as an HD 650
