Anyone know a good pair that sound great with a detachable cable? Also headphone that goes around ears not on or in.

anything else is a plus...

 

edit: I also dont mind if the headphone is close or open

Sennheiser always has a good price to performance ratio on their products.

guys or girls, please... my budget is only around 100 or I can stretch a little to 120. My old JVC has700 was REALLY good to me, unfotunately the wire just broke recently after all these years. Hence why I'm looking for any good suggestion on headphone with detachable cable.

HyperX clouds are great i've heard

Edit: they're around $80, which leaves you about $40 which is about the price of a snowball, so that's a possible thing that you could do.

Not much point in buying a headset only to turn around and get a separate mic. There are better headphones for $80.

Your options are limited if you must have a detachable cable. Either chc Silverados if they're still $50 or sennheiser hd439

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

that kinda the reason why I ask... I want to limit down on the choice I can get that serve my needs. Plus I like to hear people who use it first before I buy the set and to explore more name i never knew before settle down for one

I am a big fan of Sennheiser products but I find AKG have an even better price/performance ratio.
