Cheapish Headphones for Late night TV/gaming

Hey all, student here on a budget.
I am needing a pair of good but cheap headphones for when I play my xbox at night, or when my housemates think that it is too loud.
Has anyone got any recomendations?

Thanks,

Dave

How cheap is "cheap"? Beyerdynamic DT-231 headphones are available for about £28 these days and are (IMO) extremely good value at that price. They're also remarkably comfortable, and closed-back so there's less sound leakage than with open-back 'phones.

I have a pair of sennheiser cx300 I think they are which were about £15 from amazon and probably the best sub £50 headphones I have had or heard.
