Looking for On-ear headphones, don’t need active noise canceling, I need to be able to hear when the wife be yelling me :)

Need something with pretty low frequencies to mid highs and not overly bass. $100 ish? A few dollars more if it’s worth it! Thx, Knight’

Stereo, don’t want surround, just great speakers, great Quality, well balanced ohms, good vocals, some music “classic hard rock” and footsteps “single player... I don’t want a gaming headset.

    I'm not a big fan of ON EAR head phones but Grados are probably one of the best for ON EAR.

    The Sennheiser HD 559 (open-back) or 569 (closed-back) are in that price range and won't require a headphone amp to drive. Though I'd wait and try to find the 599's on sale at that price if you don't mind open-back.

    Hear me out.
    I own loads of headphones ( Like I have a wall of headphones) from Bose to B&W. From $25 to $500 sets.
     
    Best ( or 2nd) pair I own are From Monoprice and are $25 bucks.
    Over ear: Modern Retro

    If you gotta have on-ear go with these Koss KPH30iK
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075FBRYM1/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A1J66CZKF48XH6&psc=1
    Or same system, nicer frame: Koss UR42iW
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6YC34I/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A1J66CZKF48XH6&psc=1
     
     
    These are $115 and are pretty well rated
    HiFiMAN HE-35X
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084L5ZRG8/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_8?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
     
     
    But do no waste your time, get the Modern Retro cans and if your PC does not have a headphone amp/dac just get a USB dac
    Fiio BTR5 is all you'll ever need.

    Little higher than what you're looking to spend but VModa makes some absolutely great headphones. Both construction and quality are top notch and you can buy replacement parts for nearly the entire thing. Warranty support is great too. https://www.v-moda.com/us.n/products/crossfade-lp2

    Hyperx cloud 2 are super comfortable, cloud alpha is supposed to be an upgrade but I haven't tried them yet
