I need a headset for a friend. I personally recommended the HyperX Cloud 2 headset, but I wanted to see if there is anybody here who could chime in with their own suggestions. 

 

He needs something that has a mic attached to it, as there is no room for a desktop microphone, and he really doesn't need one for Skype calls either. It's also a lot more convenient to have a mic that isn't a clip on mic. 

 

He wants to spend about $100, but preferably less than that.

No don't get the cloud 2 since the jack cable is shorter so you are forced to use the bad sound card they give you. The cloud and cloud 2 are the same headset, the 2 just has some better foam in the headband ans ear pads, the cloud are still comfortable.
