Another wireless headphones question. This one is different!

I have exhaustively read over previous questions regarding the above, but none of the answers fill my little niche. Price range: $100 or less.
I'm so tired of one channel or other "dropping out" due to cord fatigue, which has happened to all my headphones since the dawn of time!
I'm looking for a wireless pair that are on-ear, not over the ear, like the previously recommended Parrot Zik or Logitech 9000. On-ear.
I want to listen to my dog-walking mix on my iPhone 5S without having to wrangle a cord. I would like to have volume control, mute, and "skip ahead to the next track" options.
I DO NOT want to have to download a "driver." I hate that kind of primitive, hostile-to-the-consumer procedure! I also don't want earbuds.
Not heavy headphones. Not earbuds. Wireless, on-ear headphones. They're out there...somewhere....

I use these:
Dylan Marathon2 Sport Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Headphones/headsets
The volume/track/connect buttons are on the right ear. Never had to download anything, it just takes a few minutes to sync it to your phone once (there are directions) and afterwards it will automatically connect when turned on. Sound quality is pretty good for its price.

I recommend these to anyone who will listen. I'm.. not quite sure if they're on-ear or over-the-ear headphones. I wish I knew why you are very specific about that fact, so I could better address your concern there..
They're incredibly comfortable. Easy to wear for hours. No head squishing pain, no aggravation from sandwiching my glasses between my skull and my ear. Great sound. It has volume control, forward and back, and you can press the power button once to pause the music/audio. (It can also mute or unmute calls)
I love them so much I have one at home and one at work.

I bought these headphones to use at work. It connects wirelessly through bluetooth to my phone (I have an iPhone 5). It charges by USB so you don't have to buy batteries. It has volume and playback control on one of the earphones.
I think they're also on-ear but I'm not 100% sure what the difference is. There is no driver to download or install as the headphones don't go through the computer and the headphone connect through bluetooth.
I've had mine since January and have been very happy so far.

I love my Logitech H800. Has a a USB dongle for computers or bluetooth for use with smarthphones or tablets. Has onboard play/pause and volume up/down controls. Has a mic for hands-free phone calls. Folds for easy transportation. Couldn't be happier!
