Difficult price point for over-ears. Much easier on the IEM side. 

Perhaps the Koss Porta Pro Utility. These are typically $50 but on sale right now for $25. The Koss KPH40 are on sale too.

Are you looking for a headset or just the headphones? Will this be for gaming, on the go, etc.? Does it need to be closed-back, or is open back an option?

 

Not knowing much about your use case, consider the HyperX Clouds for $35, which are probably the best all-around conventional closed-backs at the $35 price point. The Koss offerings that @Skipple mentioned (and the similar KSC75 ear hook from the same family) are probably the best-sounding headphones within your budget, but if you don't have any other headphones I think the quality of life/durability/comfort advantage on the Clouds is worth the tradeoff in sound quality.

Good IEM's can easily be found at this price point @191x7 can give you a list or select a pair for what ever your needs are.

 

As for headphones it isn't as easy.  Koss makes some great affordable headphones.  My favorite is the KPH30Ci with a grado pad mod, but yaxi pads are pretty good too.  The KPH40 is a good headphone as well and KSC75 is good too.  I've never owned the porta pro but have heard good things.  All of them can get yaxi pads on them.

Audio go Brrrrrr
