Best general use headphones for under £100?

Hi....Im after the best set of headphones that dont require an amp, for under £100. Im going to use them for music, gaming and films. Would prefer wireless, but im willing to compromise if wired phones give better sound.

Im absolutely clueless when it comes to this sorta thing, so any help would be much appreciated.

I have HD595 and can vouch they are good all rounders for movies and music.

I don't game, but have read that many gamers prefer closed headphones.

You might want to consider Beyerdynamic DT 150/250/770 - 3 closed models around £100 mark.
