I'm looking for a good headset suitable for commentary and gaming, under 150$

Don't waste cash on gimmicky gaming headphones:

Audio Technica ATH-A700X:

Is there not a good all round headset?

There's a couple, but their over 150 like this one(which is made by a real audio company):

For under 150 you're just going to be stuck with super cheap gaming headphones, better to get a good set of cans and clip on mic.

If you don't care for sound quality, and just want something that looks cool and nerdy then there are these(couple of lists):
