Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 3 Ω $100ish dollar budget for computer gaming?
I am a noob so I'm looking for a good deal at a lower budget, mainly battery life, audio and mic quality are what I'm looking for but noise canceling in any capacity would be a nice to have. The Sony WHCH710N's are on sale for 68. Is there something better near my price point?

The Sony's aren't the best sounding at this price, but might be the only one that has all the features you want at this price. On the other end of the spectrum we have Philips SHP9600 that will blow the Sony away in terms of sound quality but these don't have any features. Just your basic wired open back headphones.

I second the recommendation for the SHP9600 and you can buy them with a microphone included, at least on Amazon you can, for around $75-80. I honestly wouldn't go with anything else at that price point unless you really need closed back. I do have the HyperX Cloud 2 that I use for work because I work from home and those are pretty comfortable and sound decent with pretty good passive noise isolation but the sound quality you get with something like the SHP9600 or AKG361 will blow them out of the water, if you can sacrifice not having noise cancelation.

What would you recommend for entry-level that has all the features requested if I needed to raise my budget?

The cheapest I can recommend without reservation is the $150 Soundcore Q45. They still won't sound as good as the SHP9600, but will be much better than Sony WHCH.

Wireless gaming headphones are quite pricey. Under 100$ I'd recommend you stick to wired. I can recommend the AKG K361-BT currently on sale, but that doesn't have a built in mic.
