From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

I don't think it's the noise cancelling, I think it's that headset manufacturers think gamers all want big boomy bass. My Sennheiser Momentum 4 have noise cancelling, and aren't boomy in the slightest.
I also don't think that it's the closed back, though closed back are certainly capable of better bass than open back. My Audeze Maxwell also do not have boomy bass, and the Momentums are also closed back.
All that said, I agree that the sound quality of most gaming headsets is a mess, and I also prefer open back headphones. I don't want to deal with cables anymore, though, so I'm hopeful that we start getting some nice open back headphones and headsets.
