Need some help deciding...

So first off, I'm not an audiophile, nor do I ever plan to be. Simply put, I just want a good pair of headphones, preferrably under $100. I have been researching for a couple of weeks now and I just can't choose whether I want an in-ear headphone or over ear, so I'm hoping I can get some advice here. I would like to have a microphone (I have an iPhone, but it's not necessary) and in-line controls are a definite plus. Any over-ear headphone would have to be pretty portable and not too bulky.  Also, I hate microphonics in in-ear headphones, and I would like any headphone I buy to keep the music inside them -- I hate leaking music out because I'm a student at the library fairly often.
 
edit: And I prefer the Y cord, not the around the neck kind.
 
Here's the headphones I've been looking at so far (please reply if you know others I should be looking at):
 
NuForce NE-700m - heard the 700x's have been pretty good so I've been looking into these, definitely one of the top choices right now.

Sennheiser PX 200 II B Closed Mini Headphones - I would really like to have an over-ear headphone that is very portable and very comfortable at the same time, so these are a top choice as well.

Harman AKG K81DJ - I'm not a DJ, but my friend who is one tells me that this is a great over-ear headphone to have. However, no in-line controls is kind of a bummer.

And if I really want to spend some money, I'm also looking into the Klipsch Image S5i's - they look very good and they're also durable with a microphone and full in-line controls.

Thanks in advance if you can offer advice!
