They're only $99? Sweet. Now I know what to get when my current pair breaks down. I'm using AKG K77 Perception right now...Decent for $40, and they've lasted me about 8 years with literally no indication of wear. There are shortcomings, but they're definitely worth money.
edit: LOL! Two pair of K77s on Amazon for $216.
I purchased a pair of AKG Q701 for my studio and are the most comfortable headphones I have ever owned. The ear cups completely surround your ears (unless you have fairly large ears I guess) so you don't have parts of your ear hurting from the blood being squeezed out after long periods of use. While these headphones are out of your listed price range, AKG makes headphones in all price ranges and if the other models are as comfortable as these, you will be in sonic heaven.

Let's see what we can dig up (hope you don't mind Amazon links):
K-240 -$99 -- Same design as the Q701, but different ear cup material. From the reviews, they don't appear to cause any uncomfortable ear sweating. NOTE: These are open-backed so sound will escape into the real world without a care. Maybe hearing your death metal opera trance as they approach your desk will help people to realize you don't want to be bothered. ;)
K99 - $62 -- These don't seem as comfortable as the 240s, but the reviews seem to generally state otherwise. I would think these are only good for a couple of hours at a time before they become uncormfortable.
K77 $50 -- Based on reviews, these are bad for glasses wearers and they have some sound leakage from the outside. They can also make your ears sweat if it's hot. For $50, these are some good work phones, but you may wish you had shelled out a little more in the long run.

Sorry for only pumping AKG, it's the only brand I can really vouch for at this point. There are plenty of other headphones out there if these are not your style. Sennheiser makes some really good phones, as does Sony. If you decide to continue your search: Open-back is great for long listening sessions, but allow noise out. Closed-back can get hot but are usually the best at cancelling out noise. You are going to want something that can cup your entire ear without touching/compressing any part of the lobe.
Good Luck!
I have 40€ headphones - AKG K77 and I can already feel the difference. They're highly rated and cheap.
I also made a video a few months back, showing you how loud I can go with these headphones. They start to vibrate because of the high volume, but the sound does not distort.
Also, my phone's microphone isn't really good so it sounds like crap.

A wireless controller is all I use, that's it. No wireless headphones, speakers or any of that. I don't need them for anything, they're unreliable and I don't want to be unable to listen to music because my headphones ran out of juice.
My wired headphones for music cost $30 and my wired headphones for gaming cost $98. Good, solid headphones in both cases and I am not about to get anymore extra weight on those because they're wireless and have batteries. Getting the same quality brand wireless headphones would cost a fortune and I am not about to pay that kind of money simply because I'd need them for my phone. Yes, I use my gaming headphones just on one device but I use them every single day for 4-5 hours. And that kind of usage with wireless headphones? I'd have them plugged in for charging quite a lot. And whenever I'm not my computer, I have my headphones on because I'm listening to music. Another 6-7 hours every day. No point in going wireless, I'd be charging those all the time as well.
