Headphones with no mic recommendation

I have been scouring the interweb for headphone that don't have a mic that are good for gaming. I have hyperX ones right now but looking at other alternatives that aren't more than about £100. Any recommendations?

If you can stretch the budget, I'd say Sennheiser hd 599 or Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro. Or Philips Fidelio X2HR.

Oh thanks for the recommendations. Do you have any experience with these?

The HD 599 was my first audiophile headphone. Incredible for gaming, great sound stage and precise positioning.

I havent tried the DT 990 Pro, but Beyerdynamic dna tends to have more emphasis on the treble than Sennheiser, which can be a bit more fatiguing.

I haven't tried the Philips, but they are one of the go to recommendations at that price point.

What do you have now?

Thanks! I'll definitely look into those!
