Currently I am looking for a nice headset for use listening to music in relatively good quality, but I want it to be extremely comfortable for long periods (maybe even one of the "ear pillow" headsets) and i want it to cost around $100. I would like for it to be from a good brand and need it to be either 2-3.5mm analog or usb. If you guys know of any good deals on amazon, newegg, or ncix that would be greatly appreciated, I am an Amazon Prime user so that would also be extremely nice. I appreciate any suggestions!

Uses?

In public or at home?

Looks matter?

Open/closed back?

Types of music?

I'm extremely happy with my SteelSeries Siberia V2's.  Maybe if you are an audiophile you might find some flaws but I would definitely suggest looking into their Siberia line.  From my experience they are super comfortable, sound great and some v2's are under $100.

 

EDIT:  Oops, sorry, I thought you meant gaming headset.  I wouldn't know about non-gaming headphones but if I find anything I will update this post.

 

EDIT 2:  Maybe Audio Technica ATH-M50's maybe?  Right now they're $130 on amazon http://amzn.to/WjgIHN

My life is consumed by CS:GO, even though I'm not exceptionally good at it.

This. They'd help a lot as a headset that sounds good with 60's Jazz will sound like shit on todays dubstep or house music by Flux Pavilion...

Spwath, that hat on the fan blade is truly awesome. xD

Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself. Forgive your anger, forgive your guilt. Your shame. Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart.

Yes. Who doesn't? I also have a field owned by a farmer behind my house.. That shows I live in a little town of 700ish people in Michigan with crappy internet options.. I deal with satellite internet with 4Mb/s down and .8-.9Mb/s up.. At least the ping is low. I'm on the only road that doesn't have DSL or fiber though. Wtf
