I would look at standalone mics as well as headphones, generally they're both better individually. However there are a lot of high quality headsets available, I use Razer headsets and I haven't had any problems with them. However it's all based on personal preference so the decision is up to you.

One of best choices for 100$

I would highly recommend the Sennheiser HD558's. They are smack dab in the middle of your $100-$140 price range, running at $120 almost all the time now. In my opinion they are one of, if not the best, headphones in this price point. They have absolutely great and clear mids, crisp but not over bearing or sharp highs, and good balanced bass. Since they are open style headphones they have an absolutely great soundstage. They are amazingly light, with a low, but firm clamping pressure, along with a very breathable ear cup which allows you to wear them for really long periods of time without any fatigue.

No they are not closed, they are an open style headphone.

Although it's subjective, but I haven't found a closed headphone in the sub $140 that sounds good. When you hit sub $250, there is a Sony MDR-1R, and even a Harman Kardon Soho in $200 that sounds good.

 

Sub $140 closed back, maybe try ATH M40x

[MayflowerElectronics]

M40x or dt 770 80 ohm.

Look on eBay for used models as well.

Open headphones really dont leak as much sound as people think after changing to my superlux 681 (Plan on upgrading soon) I am never going to go back to closed.

Used MDR1R run around $130-140 on ebay. Also DT770 sometimes go down to around $160. But yeah closed is hard for around $100. Shure 440 with 840 pads is decent.

what about the m40x is it open or closed or like semi-closed

Audiotechnica is highly overrated. The M40x is ok but I prefer the Sony MDR7506 in that price range instead. It's closed.
