£50 budget - what should I be auditioning?

I am after some headband over-ear style headphones. I have some Shure E2's for out and about but they do not suit me for prolonged listening at home.
So, I am after some traditional over-ear headphones (not IEM's) purely for home listening. Principal source will be an iPod Touch 2nd gen but also via a NAD C325BEE integrated amplifier. Music is contemporary indie/dance/trance and mainly 320 bitrate mp3's. Sound leakage is not likely to be an issue so not really fussed about whether open/semi-open/closed etc.

Just after a short-list of what's available for around £40-£50, what's suitable / what's not, so I can do some more research.

I have come up with the following ...

Audio-Technica Pro5 V
Audio Technica ATH-M30
Audio Technica ATH-SJ5
AKG K514
AKG K518DJ
Goldring DR100
Several of Sennheisers (?)

The Pro5's do look good. Any thoughts much appreciated.

OK sorted. Found some K518DJ's on Amazon (PlanetGizmo) for £31.99 delivered. At that price, worth a punt.
