70 dollar limit. I'm not sure whether it would be better to get headphones with a clip-on mic or just get a headset. I'm sorta leaning towards the headphones and clip-on mic just so I can use them for other things as well, but I'm not really sure.

Why not save up a bit and buy something which will last much, much longer such as DT-770 Pros and sound better, as well?
Depends really, for 70 bucks you're not getting anything that has sound quality.
"Gaming" headsets often has positional sound, which means they focus more on making you able to hear things like from where the footsteps are coming and so forth. Often with fancy 7.1 and things, great for FPS.
Headphones made for music will provide better sound quality for music and movies etc, even tho that's not gonna be much for 70 bucks.
Buy the headphones that suits your needs best based on that.
Do you have a sound card already? If not, $70 headphones are going to be a let down.

Trolling should be.
Samson SR850 might be your best bet with a Zalman ZM-MIC1. It will not blow your mind, but with that budget you can't really wish for it. As vesseblah said, good headphones start at $100 or more.
That said there are some gems out there. The Takstar Hi2050's are extremely good and can land anywhere between $50 and $70 depending on tax and shipping costs. They are almost on-par with the DT 880's (at least they are often compared to the DT 880's as a fairly good replica), although the DT 880's have deeper bass and clearer, more profound mids - albeit at $300.
at 70 bucks you wont be happy with whatever you get... save up a nother 30 bucks and you will be MUCH happier, I got the Logitec g930 on sale for 99 bucks and there GREAT, Wireless with surround sound plus a few other features. There comfy over the ear and i can get up and get a drink, move around, streatch whatever and dont have to worry about the cable.
OP hasn't mentioned wireless.
Anyway I dislike the definition "gaming headphones". Good pair of headphones is good for anything you would use headphones, and you can choose open, closed, in-ear, etc. for your purpose and taste. But gaming headphone is just marketing nonsense.
No but point is that Logitech G930 has one justifiable use where it's the right answer instead of always crap like you implied. It's the best wireless headset in reasonable price range but definitely not a replacement for proper wired headphones if you want best sound quality.

I'd have to disagree though, the bass on the 880 is tighter, but not deeper.
"Marketing is what you do when your product is no good."
can believe they can sell them for £25.99 in EU, that's a really good deal.
@OP

Audio Technica M35 for $60 is my pick for best Headphones less then $70.
When you see someone in a thread making the same canned responses over and over, click their name, click view forum posts, and see if they are a troll. Then don't feed them."Gamer" is not a bad word. I identify as a gamer. When calling out those who persecute and harass, the word you're looking for is "asshole." @_DonAdams
I will admit that If i was using them for music and such I would want something different but for gaming, there convenient and comfortable for long sessions. The sound is more then adequate for video games... And I have no complaints when streaming vids and the like... If the person was that worried about sound quality or was an audiophile then they would not be looking to spend so little on headphones.
