Looking to spend less than $150, ideally, so that rules out Bose
AKGs any good?

Anything above $50 should get the job done. If you are using these for recording, try to avoid cans that have a bass boost/hyped low end. Also get closed back. Open back are no good for tracking vocals( too much bleed)
I recomend you check these out:
sennheiser hd280 $100
Sony MDR-7506 $100
