Are you dead set on wireless?

I don't see any real audio manufacturers on your list...

(i.e., Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, even Philips or Sony...)
 
Not sure if this will help but I've read headsets marketed as "gaming" is not worth the price paid (well at least for wireless gaming headsets).

I don't have any specific headsets but I would reccomend purchasing from seinheisser, Sony, or really any other trusted audio brand
 
My opinion would be to head to a bestbuy or something similar and try a few of these on first and see which ones you like the best to narrow down the selection. My son and I went through the same thing a while back, and we went through probably 3 sets per person just trying to get it right. I ended up with a wired set and he went with a Corsair wireless set. Some of them just have weird issues, like the Artemis Spectrum which, after weeks of troubleshooting with Logitech, was getting interference from something else in the room causing them to screech at random times.
 
Not sure of your budget.

I own the HD185's
The Corsair RGB Void wireless
Owned the Astro A50's.

Get the Sennheiser HD185's and a mic. Most comfortable and best sound. If you must have a boom mic. Save a few bucks and get the Void Wireless. The Voids are pretty heavy, but have zero clamping so they feel comfortable.

I returned the Astro's.
