I bought some $50 open back headphones a while back and they a just worlds better than anything I'd had before. Is there a step up from there that'd similarly rock my world?
My mic is pretty similar. $100 got me an SM58 and it's wonderful. You have to basically eat it and I can peak it if I'm loud. But it sounds so much nicer than most things. I know there's a few steps up from there. But I don't sing so think I'm fine.
The headphones: Depends on what they are. Likely, not a better pair without spending $300+
Sm58s are the standard. Some (myself included) prefer sm57s. Though the 58s are the 'hammer' (many have used them as such, they still function well after if you don't absolutely destroy them with the hammering).
Planar magnetic headphones that start around $200 (monolith m1060) will do that
