Budget - $100 or less
Source - USB preferred but I do have the default 3.5m plug in my computer. I don't have room in my case for a dedicated sound card, though I did see there are some external sound cards. I'm not sure if they're any good or not.
Requirements for Isolation - I need some isolation as I have a louder GPU fan.
Preferred Type of Headphone - Full-size (either option is fine).
Preferred tonal balance - Balanced is fine. I will be using these for gaming mostly.
Past headphones - Plantronics Audio 655 DSP - They're OK but the sound quality is kind of...tinny. The bass is not full and sounds somewhat weak. However, they can be connected via USB which is somewhat important.
Preferred Music - Main purpose of these would be for gaming, but I do listen to a large variety of music (this is secondary to the gaming purpose). I'd like to be able to better decipher different sounds in games (e.g. footsteps, gun shots, etc.).
Location - U.S.
Only other bit of info is that I will need a noise cancelling microphone as well, and I'd prefer for it to clip on. The only option I've looked at is the HyperX Cloud II as it seems to be a decent option, though I understand the sound quality won't be quite as good.
Thanks!

Cheap good sound quality. mic, hasnt been something i test much.. but i can sound check if you want.
only problem i have with it is the fact that it sits on ear rather than around it. so if you have sensitive ears, it will hurt after a few hours..
it also cancels out background noises ;)
I have this one. Sound quality is great!
