I am looking for some IEM's (preferred) or a pair of headphones to use with my Xbox one. I primarily play Overwatch (FPS game) so being able to hear footsteps and where an enemy is coming from is crucial. My controller is the updated model with the 3.5mm headphone jack so an adaptor isn't needed. I'm not sure what sort of power the headphone jack on the Xbox one controller puts out (tried to look it up but nothing came up).

I am a complete noob regarding audio so please bare with me. I am also not sure what to look for in a pair of iem's/headphones for gaming. I know soundstage and imaging are important.

Requirements/Need
  • I prefer IEM's since they are portable but I am open to headphones.
  • Built in mic since I play with friends
  • Be able to hear footsteps, tell where the other player is based on the sound of the footstep, gunfire in FPS games (Overwatch primarily)
  • Immersive sound while gaming (I know I am limited with the Xbox One but if it's possible that would be great)
  • Don't want to buy an external AMP
  • I have a budget of $50 (can stretch it by $5-$10 if needed)
Thanks
