So I have a budget of £40ish pounds and am looking for a decent set of headphones

Not too sure on this, but I have an amp for the headphones. I have an old Hi-Fi system that powers my 100W floorstanders easily (200W cause theres two ). When plugging my PMX100's into the headphone jack (its larger, so I had to use an adapter), the hifi drove it considerably louder then that of the PC jack (More then twice as loud IMO).

I listen to ALOT of music, play ALOT of movies, and ALOT of games, so all round ALOT of general use, this is all at home, I use my PMX100's whilst I'm out and about. So these headphones will purely be for home use.

Thanks alot to all who reply!

to be honest for the price or much less if you do a bit of hunting, there are plenty of full size headphones bargins. i've got the sennheiser hd 212's which can be a bit heavy on the bass.

the Goldrings seem to be the flavour of the moment. i've yet to read a negative comment about them. people are putting the 150's up against the liek of grado SR60's and senn' hd 595's and the goldrings hold their own.

the goldring dr100 has a 'best' award form what hi-fi.

other than that, what are your thoughts about the type of headphone you want?
