Help redeeming a Christmas present (choosing a pair of headphones)

As you can see form the attached image, my family caught wind that my current gaming headset was breaking down, so I got a little voucher for one pair of headphones!

 

the price range seems to be 100-150 (which i can supplement with some extra christmas money as need be)

 

I've been using a pair of Razer Man'O War headphones for the last couple years and i LOVE THEM TO DEATH, however i really would like something i could connect to my phone for audio books or music while traveling.

 

Currently my frontrunner is : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSZSL4I/ref=twister_B07FBDGKDT?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

 

ideally i would like something with a microphone and the ability to connect wired/wirelessly for least hassle. 

 

i'm in no way a dedicated audiophile, but I can of course tell general differences in quality. so i don't need anything super crazy and i don;t mind it being a little bass-heavy.

 

I admit i'm not very experienced with headsets since the only ones i've owned are very "gamer".

 

I'd be delighted to see your suggestions.

 

Merry Christmas to everyone reading this

The senhiesers are also a good choice, since you don't need and OTG

but the 2.4ghz signal has an advantage on the corsair void, since it uses rf, not bluetooth, rf can be used to connect and still use for audio clearly even from far away.

Well i have to admit those do look really cool! a little outside my price range, but i'll definitely keep them in mind.
