Am looking for a new pair of headphones, mostly for gaming. The two aspects I care mostly about are comfort and good audio. Therefore wondering about people's recommendations and experiences with headphones. What's been your best headphones so far and why?

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned https://www.rtings.com/headphones

They specifically analyze headphones for comfort and audio quality among many other qualities.

They have a table view mode where you can filter down to exactly what kind of headphones you are interested in buying and then make a selection from the results set.

I just purchased a pair of these a few weeks ago, and I love them: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/philips/fidelio-x2hr

I specifically filtered down to headphones with a low latency wired connection by adding a column to the table view, and I didn't need an included microphone.

If you must have a microphone included, the best headphones you can buy currently that have a low latency wired connection are the Astro A40's, but they had less than stellar treble I believe. Check the detailed review.
