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.
That's a great site. Thanks.
