Although I have AKG K702, I most often use Koss KSC75 for games, especially when virtual surround is engaged (Creative's SXFI or Sony's 3d Audio on PS5). There is just something about how they present spatial cues that I like at lot. And with SXFI's EQ they actually have bass.

Certainly worth a try I think and unlike most bigger headphones, they stick to your ears well and don't fall off - so are quite nice when doing house work and still wanting to hear your surroundings.

The Beyerdynamic DT770, DT880, DT990 are also well known for for their imaging capabilities. Have a listen if you can, maybe this presentation is what would work for you.

Also, for Sony's 3d Audio in supported games, I find AKG K371 doing surprisingly well. What I perceive in such circumstances is very good understanding of sound direction and sense of space. Great example of this are Returnal and Horizon Forbidden West. I guess the K371's accuracy help a lot. And their bass works well in games if you don't have any equalizer in your chain.
