Those both can be operated without batteries. In fact, in the above review, that's the recommended mode of operation, because the sound is different with the noise canceling on.

Anyone know of any good quality headphones that are as comfortable as the Razer Carcharias? Say what you will about Razer, but those are the most comfortable headphones I have ever used. That said, I want to keep those at home for gaming and buy another pair for use at work, but I want to make sure I buy some that are just as comfortable.
Also, it's relatively important that they don't bleed excessively. A little bleed is ok because I won't be blasting music into my ears.
As a sidenote, can someone explain to me why there are so many models of Seinheiser headphones? There are seriously dozens and dozens of headphones offered by them. It's hard to make an educated decision when there are so many options.

These are decently comfortable, but there are other options if you can't get them cheaply ~($100-$120). They don't have any trouble keeping noise in, but their noise attenuation from the outside isn't great.
Easy to drive/not that sensitive to source quality either, which is nice.

A lot of headphones offer comfort. For some unbeknownst reason, sound quality typically is inversely related to comfort.
But there are exceptions! ATH700 is renowned for it's super lightweight and comfort, n having tried one on i can vouch for them. http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=178
Sennheiser has a million models because sennheiser is large enough to be able to design and manufacture them. They have perennial powerhouse models that are universally lauded such as the HD25's, and a lot of stinkers that just suck and are terrible value.

I'm looking for headphones to use while I work on projects at school. I want the headphones to reduce distractions, so I'd like them to be wireless, comfortable (circumaural), and noise-cancelling.
Am I looking for the right thing in these headphones, and are there any suggestions for a budget < $150?

I'm not sure noise-cancelling is what you want. How loud will your surroundings be? If this is in a library, where people definitely won't be talking loudly, simply closed-back circumaural headphones will be enough.
Noise-cancelling is fantastic for dealing with low frequency noise such as plane engines. I don't really recommend them for anything else to be quite honest.

Who knows, I think its best if you try and find a store where you can audition them. Most proper hifi stores, that stock this sort of hardware, have plenty of demo stock for you to play with. They won't bite, hifi stores have to attract customers purely through service. If you don't buy, they'll probably give you a business card or something.
The AD700s are quite bass light though. I agree.

I never recommend Sennheiser headphones that are circumaural for two reasons:
Cord can't be changed for the majority of their offerings
The Earcups are non replaceable.

Frequency range is generally not a good criteria on which to judge a headphone. Reviews and personally listening to them weigh far more than frequency range.
For example, your Razer Carcharias would probably be shat on by the AD700's in terms of sonic reproduction. Having a large frequency range means nothing about how good the headphones are. It only points out what the potential sonic characteristics of the headphones, either bass-light or mid-centric, for example.
The AD700 is bass light. You didn't search properly, because Audio-Technica is sold on Amazon.

I don't think wireless noise cancelling headphones exist at that price point. The Bluetooth Sennheiser PXCs hit the $300 market where they share with the Beats and Bose QCs. There are wired Sennheiser PXCs too at around $300. There's a noise cancelling Audio-Technica ANC7 which is okay for the price at $150-200 I think.
The wired Sennheiser PXC has the best sound. The Bose QC have the best Active Noise Cancelling and comfort. The Bluetooth Senns are wireless. The ANC7 is good budget but doesn't win in any categories.

Thanks for the info about frequency range. Should I expect the sound to be all around better with something like the ad700s even though they seem to be lacking bass/mid? I'm not one of those people that has to have their bass really loud, but I do like all parts of my music to be clear and defined.

Oh, well. I'm Canadian, but the only brick and mortar store that I know sells them is probably B&H in New York?
I personally found the AD700 comfortable, but a bit missing in bass. To be fair though, after any extended period of time, your ears adjust to the lack of bass. It depends on your tastes in music really, so listing them would help others try to specify what types of headphones would be your best choice in your price range.
I wouldn't say that the AD700s bleed, but it really depends on the volume you listen at. Some people say my headphones bleed but I never notice it.

Probably? The rather thin bass might be a deal killer but some people don't really want aggressive bass. The reason why audio can get away with so much pseudoscience is because whether or not something sounds good is entirely subjective. Which is why you should only trust your ears and no one else's opinion.
For loudpseakers, for instance, a lot of people cannot stand metal or horn-loaded tweeters because they feel they are revealing and fatiguing. Others love it for the same reason. Different stroke for different folks.

I'm not too worried about bleeding anymore. According to headphone-info, the ad700s bleed less than my current headphones which I don't think bleed that much, but that might be because I don't listen to music that loud.
As far as taste goes, I have varying taste in music. I listen to a combination of 80s rock (GnR), trance, electro swing, acoustic guitar instrumentals, classical pieces, and a lot of Taylor Swift.

Get a clip-on mic. Most decent headphones don't come with attached microphones.
A common go-to headphone for bassheads is the Sony XB500. I believe its very affordable too so that's definitely a good thing.
Well I'm sort of on a cheap budget so this seems like a good option. Although do the XB500s keep in sound well? I've had a bit of problems with my earbuds being a bit loud for others. Additionally, would this be a decent clip-on microphone? http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX3193

They're closed, so sound leakage should be minimal, but isolation could be anything. Yes that is a decent mic for the price, only need higher if you want to do some hobbyist recordings.

Is there a way to adjust the Steelseries Siberia V2 headset to be less tight? The headphones clamp just a tad too tight for someone wearing glasses and after a couple hours it gets a bit uncomfortable because my ears get pushed into my glasses.

Congratulations, wrong on both counts.
