hello, brothers. complicated ask:

location: us
budget: iem: <$100 | over-ear: <$100
sound: iem: black/power metal mostly but also some 80s 90s rap | over-ear: cs2 (surround? idk), streams/YT

i want to basically use the over-ears for when i'm mobile, and some over-ears for gaming/YT/streams

kinda would prefer something good on the over-ear if it could work well with plugging into my mixer when i'm playing guitar, but maybe the iems with an iem, but usually those types of headphones are annoying af when standing and playing guitar.

IEMs won

The under $100 market for headphones is pretty horrific unfortunately. The best headphones your going to get are used, with little use, sometimes by failed podcasters, i see that a lot in my area. Warehouse deals from amazon, or ebay. The first two options are a lot better than the last for finding near prior error deals, usually even at $100 used your able to find a $200-300 pair, just factor in headphone pads if they are quite worn into the price.
Some common used models that go for cheap are the sennheiser hd 560,hd 599, audio technica m30x/m40x/50x, beyerdynamic dt 770/990, perhaps some lower akg models and a few others. Warehouse deals, dependant on country are the best for this, some models get such little traction and most people are phone fags so the used items rot and amazon puts them down endlessly till they sell.

Grados are hit or miss, but mostly miss. Unless you try them out in person and like the sound for whatever reason, one (if not the only one) of the positive sound aspects are decent spatial qualities.
Also the distortion levels are so high and bad it kinda becomes their "feature".
