There ABSOLUTELY are better. However, not without spending significantly more money.
At $61 these are a must buy if your looking to dip your toes into better audio.

I have the Hyperx already and they are way to small/tight on my big head. I'm looking for a larger pair
If you are looking to dip your toes into the Audiophile space you also need to find out what it is you value in sound. Do you want neutral sounding cans, detailed/analytical or fun and musical sounding or a mixture somewhere within.
With better headphones you may also want to consider getting a competent DAC and AMP or a combo. I might suggest the $100 dollar iFi Zen DAC air. It has a built in amp and the Zen DAC air competes or exceeds the performance of my 500 dollar dac and amps with 300ohm and under HPs.
As for headphones, it depends on what you want to spend. The best bang for your buck is probably going to goto hifimans, although the headphone market is pretty much a sea of endless choice which comes back to needing to figure out what you are looking for in sound as a lot of these manufacturers have a very specific signature with their sound or take on it. Hifiman in my opinion hits the sweet spot at least for my ears where they are not too neutral, boring or over the top in any range.
Drop Hifiman 4XX: Best all rounder. Can get it for about $100 on ebay otherwise wait for sale on Drop. These can be EQ'd to enhance the sound quality even further. It is kind of a mix between the 400SE and 400i.
Hifiman 400SE: More detail, clean and neutral, still very musical.
Hifiman 400i: Warmer, more body in the sound and better bass extension.
From Sennheiser the Drop Jubilee 58X is a great place to start if you can get it for cheap although, I'd prefer the Hifimans since they don't take the edge off the treble, vocals are too laid back for my preference, even more so on the more expensive 650/6XX models but some people might like this otherwise as far as Senns go, this is a good one.
Philips X2HR would definitely be a good choice as they are pretty easy to drive and sound on par with the 4XX but way more open sounding which can help immerse one with gaming. You can pick these up for cheap on ebay as well and brand new sometimes. The Philips L2 would also be an upgrade although I prefer the X2HR.
Some of these choices would most definitely get you into the audiophile space but based on what you own, that XM4 is going to be pretty hard to beat but the advantages of getting an open back will help increase the soundstage/openess of the sound you can hear.
Yes, they do sound good to me, and being open back they allow sound in and out, which I didn't really need, (and maybe I should have bought closed back). They don't have the deepest bass, but do any headphones? My purpose of getting these will be primarily for hearing levels while using OBS studio so I'm not really looking for audiophile quality but would like accuracy, and I think these are accurate..
I have played these through a cheap Sony AVR headphone jack connected to my PC via HDMI and this is where they sound best. I connected them through the front panel headphone jack on the PC and something sounds off...like they're distorted. I didn't go into settings to try to fix this; I just went back to the AVR since it's always on when the PC is on anyway.
Overall, I'm glad I got them because I doubt I could have gotten any better for the price, and for the little use they will get I feel they will last a long time. I admit I bought these due to the rave reviews I've been reading for years now. I wasn't disappointed. I feel like I got exactly what was promised.
Whats your favorite in the 80-300 dollar range?
Thanks yall

At about 200 dollars, you might as well pay $99 more and get the Sundara which might be a natural stopping point for most and is superior.
Alternatively the Drop Hifiman X4 just went on sale for $99, this is in an incredible value!

This would put you up there with the HE-560 however the 560 I believe has more bass and extension but nothing you can't EQ into the X4. The HE-560 has more bass than the Sundara and X4 but if you boost the Bass on the Sundara or X4 via EQ, it's plenty good.
The X4 like the 560 demands a desktop amp to sound its best. You need lots of current and typically these things sound a lot more fuller with a XLR or balanced cable and amp that can use it.
If you don't have a good desktop amp or use your PC/laptop then go for the SHP9500 and call it a day. If you are looking to climb the ladder, I personally like the Philips L2 a tad better although it might not be as comfortable and beyond that I like the Philips X2HR as it is more lively sounding with a huge sound stage and you don't really need an Amp to juice it nor do you really benefit greatly by juicing it either. It sounds just as lovely on whatever amp or device you toss it at. I run that thing on my PS5 controller no problem. It's not really on sale and at $99 the Hifiman X4 is the real winner here. For what its worth I've gotten away with driving the Sundara and other Hifimans on Creative G5/G6's, they sound pretty darn good and volume for days.
I was planning to get a good amp that can power pretty much anything, and start out with a relatively budget set of hifi headphones. Play almost all games on pc so wont have to worry about connecting to a controller.
Seems like a decision between the HE560 or Sundara, wanted to experience the mid-low end of what hifi is about for starters. Seems like the extra 1-200 dollars makes a big difference.
I appreciate all your feedback man, cheers

If bass is more important to you and you are not willing to EQ, the HE-560 will take care of that for you. It is important to note that the Sundara is not lean or boring by any means but it will not make your bub bubs bounce.
