I'm looking for good noise isolating/noise cancelling headphones to ride on my schools bus in peace and quiet among all the screaming kids. I will also be using them for pc gaming at home and playing games like bf4 and other shooters. It needs a microphone to talk on Skype with my friends but I would prefer for it not to have a fold up because I will probably wear them around the halls too and I might look weird with a microphone on the side. And I would prefer the price to be around $50-$60.

Your best bet is probably the Steelseries Siberia V2 headsets. They have 50mm drivers and the microphone is retractable to stay hidden. You can find them for around $50 if you shop around. They aren't active noise cancelling, but being circumaural they do provide passive noise isolation.

Are these better than the Razer electras?
