People will hate me for what I am about to say.
I suggest the Steelseries Siberia V3. Yes, I think many headphones sound better. But the comfort... holy shit the comfort.

Budget: Close to 100$ if you think is worth it for me.
Source: Computer and cellphones, the usual jack size of 3.5mm.
Requirements for Isolation: I have heard some nice things about open headphones, and I have always thought that headphones has to be over-ear.
Preferred Type of Headphone: Over-ear. With microphone, and competitive (positional sound cues).
Preferred tonal balance: Balanced? Not sure what can I expect from different tones.
Past headphones: Turblebeach PX22, I paid too much for these, one of my worst decisions for 150$ from GameStop (I am not the smartest). It was ok, never complained. But the first time I tried them, I expect that seal feeling when you can't hear anything from outside, which doesn't make sense since I am thinking in buying a pair of open headphones.
Preferred Music: Heavy music, metal and rock, but music if not my main priority.
What would you like to improve on from your set-up: Right now I am using a microphone cord with ONE earbud. Anything decent is better than what I am using right now.
I am buying from Amazon, and my first option will be this. Cheapest option following the gaming headphones list. It is discontinued, so I would buy the V3 of the same series.
If this comment is 1 or 2 days old, I already ordered the one above, so don't worry.
Tried and true. :P
Supremo comfort, Open Back, Easy mute switch, retractable mic which is pretty decent, and Four Pole Connectivity + PC mic/headphone adapter cable included as well.
Tek Syndicate Gaming Headsets Suck! is also a great video to see whats out there as far as options go. The video is year old so those same headphones are probably even cheaper now. :)
SteelSeries Siberia v3 Had this for a year now and still going strong https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O06ZMRG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_h.JvxbJYPR72J
