Open back (my preference but some may want closed).
Fantastic mic as well. Mutes when you swing the mic up.

$170 to $129-$10 = $50
This is the cheapest its gonna get. It's a decent budget set with a good mic.
The best bang for buck for in gaming is a HyperX Cloud2 ( a re-badged takstar pro80) from Amazon warehouse deals for $30 when they have their sales.
The Valorant team Sentinels uses the cheaper Cloud2's when they have access to any of the HyperX line.
They have a different sound signature and I don't think they will be better based on my experience with them. Basically little bass forward mids typical sennheiser sound of the 5xx series but worth it if your also want the mic . Have you tried the tygr 300r ? They should be fairly similar to the 990s but slightly better tuned for gaming

That said, for the same amount of money you can usually get better sounding headphones, it just won't be all-in-one. I have a Sony MDR7506, and it sounds better than headsets I've heard that cost twice as much.
Question of my own for owners: anyone who own these who can comment on how much weight they put on top of the head? Every headset I try ends up giving me headaches... Either they're heavy and pull down on top of my head, or they're pressing into the sides enough to cause pressure headaches. Pretty frustrating.
Not sure about these but have you tried the older audio technica headsets (a500/700/900)? Fantastic all around and so so comfortable unless your head is tiny.
