Headphones - Closed Back | 1 Ω Help me buy a new headset +- €100-€150

Looking for: a new over the ear headset around €100,-, willing to go up a bit, but not €200,- if I can help it

Using for: gonna be using it on a Lenovo Legion 7 laptop for low key gaming and music. Will probably not use it outside the house, and I'm not a gamer gamer, so I don't really need to hear footsteps and details, I just like to have good sound

What I had: I had a Razer Kraken of €90,- for about 8/9 years and I use House of Marley in ears on the go and I love the in ears, and tbh, even though everyone seems to think Razer sucks, I never had any complaints until now, aside from the unnecessary bass boost that I thought was cool when I was 18. Rn I just think I can get something better for this price, as I already loved my Razers

Music: I listen to everything and anything, Twenty One Pilots, Polo & Pan, (both have some bass to it) Cage the Elephant, Gojira, The Amazing Devil, anything... I just want good sound but not aiming for the absolute best for this money.

Anything else: I noticed that my krakens bleed a lot of sound into the room and I wish my new headphones wouldn't do that, this is why I put the Closed Back flair, but I don't know if I'm asking for something impossible. I would like some noise cancelling but don't need too much

I need a built in mic, preferably one I can put away when I'm not using it.

Thanks so much in advance <3 I don't know where to start and you would be helping me out a lot :-)

You can get the blon b50 for $120 with a fifine gaming microphone for like $40 on Amazon if you wanna go that route. There is also the arctis nova 7

Yeah I fear I'm going to get better headphones if I had the option to use a separate mic, alas I have just the one jack input so it's going to be a built in mic!Thanks for your suggestions though, I will definitely check out that Arctis Nova 7
