Hey guys,
 
I'm in the game for a short time and don't know much about headphones.
I'm looking for an under 100 $ headphone that can play jazz, rock, and electronic music, plus a bit of reggae and alternative.(over or on ear doesn't matter, as long as it is comfy). I don't want to be dissapointed after i buy it, because sometimes right after i buy a headphone, i realize that i have made a bad decision. Anyone who replies to this, I say thank you.

OK I'll have a try, the SoundMAGIC P30 is pretty good - it's an on-ear portable and around $50 so half your budget.
 
I have a P30 myself; it's no slouch and a good all-rounder.

Open or closed?

I'd recommend Sennheiser HD 558's.  I listen  hard rock and metal and find them very balanced.

The Sennheiser Momentum on-ear is very cheap nowadays (below $90). If it needs to be portable, that would be my top pick.
 
For open, non-portable headphones I'd recommend the Sennheiser HD518. They are $74,95 on Amazon right now; that's a steal!

 + 1 Was going to be my suggestion if open are ok.  $75.49 used like new will be new just no retail box due damage or being open. Factory authorized full warrant.

For closed good choice you can also get over ear in $100 range.

Guys you are super fast! Thank you so much. Open or closed doesn't matter by the way. Also, these headphones are also usable for electronic music right?

 

[bikerboy94]

Go with HD558 can't beat the sound and super comfort can ware all day. Very good with any music. Did I say super comfort. Seriously a great can for what you are looking for.I got to them at times and I have HD600s.

 

[efebarlas]

Also, are you sure that momentum is under 100?

 

[efebarlas]

Tnx bikerboy, I'll have a look.

 

[bikerboy94]

You can get one ear under $80 over ear $100 or so. But comfort way off from 558s all day vs couple of hrs. Let me know what you decide I will give you link for best price.

 

[efebarlas]

Oh, on amazon right now there's a sale, apparently 558 is 104 $ right now. Better use the sale, thanks! I'll keep an eye on this thread.

 

[efebarlas]

I would say 558.
