The best you can do for that price range is a pair of sony MDR-V6.

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-V6-Monitor-Series-Headphones/dp/B00001WRSJ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350147216&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+mdr-v6

I would put these at the best value for under $100. Very accurate (they've been the standard for reference monitors for years now), built like a tank, and fairly comfy.

I can vouch for razer.. my razer megalodons are awesome. And they are already like 3 years old and still working perfect. so they are incredibly durable and tough. I dont know how they sound compared to other headphones but they do sound amazing.

EDIT: i see my megalodons are a bit expensive, but they have a mic too and 7.1, which you don't need. so any model near 70$ in razer me personally would go for

For music you want to avoid Razer, like the plague.

any studio monitor headphones is good for music for that price range like the MDR-V6 or MDR-V600. i would avoid gaming headphones for music purposes.
