Noise Cancelling Gaming Headset

For removing background noise from "listening part" closed headphones would be good starting pointing.
Though as downside they warm ears lot more than open headphones and mostly have lot smaller "sound stage".
Again if you meant microphone not picking background noise directional pattern mics are obviously better than omnidirectional.
For that price you can also easily get good quality headphones and ModMic v4.
Good headsets tend to be rarer or expensive and especially gaming stuff tends to be cheap Chinese garbage.

When doing a search it was mostly hits coming up for the noise cancelling mics, which is handy to have. I prefer to have an all in one headset rather than separate headset & mic but I may have to go that route. Get a good quality noise cancelling headphones and a separate mic.
When gaming I usually take regular breaks anyway so don't usually sit about with the headphones on for hours at a time.

Using ModMic doesn't differ any from headsets... except that you can easily detach mic when not needing it.
(even swap it between two headphones, there's second base included)
Directional v4 muffles quite nicely for example keyboard sounds.
Active noise cancelling headphones are expensive if any better and still compromises in sound quality compared to normal headphones.
Some closed headphones actually isolate basically as well as weaker earmuffs.
Like Beyerdynamic DT770s from 15 to 20 dB at mids, nearing 30 dB in treble.
So unless environment is really noisy those would go long way.
For price those also would be quite good for gaming use with good positioning and decent soundstage for closed design.
Though for competitive gaming they could use equalizer for toning down bass.
(which still doesn't drown everything else unlike in typical closed bass heavy gaming headphones)
Design of Beyerdynamics is such that they can be also mic modded easily:
