<€100 headphone + microphone combo

TwOne

EDIT to title: or headset

 

Since my Tritton AX180s decided to break once again (this time it's flimsy plastic), I decided to shop for a new pair of headphones. 

 

I'm looking for a pair (headphones + mic or headset), which are good for gaming (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive), listen to music (you know Monstercat, that stuff), and wear it for extended periods of time without it hurting. My budget is sub €100 (with microphone included). I don't really have sweaty ears, so over-ears work brilliantly. 

 

Also, where I looked people recommended me open-back, because of the 'sound stage' making it easier to position where audio is coming from (really important for CS:GO, but also nice to have with music).

 

I decided to look around, but there are so many headphones, I got lost the minute I started searching! Can you guys/gals give me any recommendations?

But don't they have bad sound stage? I really need a good sound stage, because I often have that I can't pinpoint enemy positions, which is really important when taking CS:GO seriously.

Bump again, what about the QPAD QH-85? It's almost the same as the Cloud, but open-back, as far as I read from reviews. Would this be the answer? I can buy one for around 85€, which is a lil' cheaper than the Cloud (at 90€).
