Can someone suggest something better than this for $100 or less?

I would have suggested Bose QuietComfort, but there a bit out of your price range unless on sale. Must they be headphones or earplugs in consideration?

I got enough earbuds that Im tired of using. They make my ears get all fluid-y after half an hour. $100 is already pushing it as I've kind of been on a shopping spree. A few gamepads here, some bedsheet sets there, and-so-on.

But give me a non-bud model suggestion, ill search some prices, maybe buy used if im confident.

I agree with the Superlux recommendation. The removable cable is a lifesaver.
Also check out the AKG 240s

They're the headphones I currently use for everything and they do a great job.
Only complaint is that the cord it comes with is 9ft long. You can buy a female mini XLR to male 3.5mm cable for around $15

I've never seen Bose or Monster much liked in the audiophile communities.
The average consumer thinks they are though.

Monster headphones are crap.

The Superlux and the AKG above are quite nice headphones for under $100. I know Audio Technica is releasing their ATH-M30X Professional headphones soon, I think in the next week or 2 and those are supposed to be great as well. AFAIK it doesn't have a removable cable, but otherwise they're supposed to be near to their ATH-M50's in terms of sound quality (which is the preferred budget headphones for most audiophiles).

With that said, I would go for the AKGs above or the Audio Technica ATH-M30X

I don't consider myself an audiophile because I don't think that "enjoying music" is a pursuit worthy enough to spend several hundreds on. So I'll stick to a less-than-medium price range.
Since I've never spent more than $20 on on-ear headphones and $70 on earuds, I don't know what I'm missing, and I'd like to keep it that way if I can be satisfied with only spending under $100 on each new headset.

Thank you all for your suggestions sofar. My interest in Monster wasn't because I was interested in Monster. Ebay daily deals often grab my eyes with 60-70% off listings.
