Closed headset replacement, 100-150 USD

Recently one of the joints broke on my headset (this), and instead of just replacing it I have decided to upgrade. The problem is I have no idea what is out there and do not have the budget to absorb "bad buys". My requirements are:

 

  • MUST BE CLOSED. I live in a dorm and open headphones are NOT a good idea.
  • Should be good for gaming, as this is my primary use case.
  • Should have mic, or include a non-tabletop mic in price considerations.
  • Run off of integrated audio, no amp
  • Secondary use case is netflix and music (EDM)
  • Built to take (reasonable) abuse. These should last.

Thanks for any help

I heard they have a bad soundstage, and I play a lot of games with (virtual)  surround so that is a dealbreaker. Most of my hours on this computer are in-game, so I am targeting that primarily.

 

EDIT: remembered these, a little pricier but I have seen good reviews.

friend has, loves them.

 

G930 is also great, wireless, 7.1 surround, and 100$. I've had them for 2 years, if they break i'll buy them again.
