Hi, I'm looking for a pair of headphones that's great for gaming and music, my budget is around £40. I mainly listen to edm, trap and occasionally chill music, so basically I want bass on my headphones but not too much. Lately, my friends has been bugging me to buy a pair of headphones as it's needed for cs go. I also want the headphones to be comfortable as I'm going to wear them for a long period and I don't want them to clamp to hard. 

I did some research my self and I found this two great headphones. 

Sennheiser HD451 Closed Over-Ear Headphone:

Superlux HD668B Headphones:

I'm leaning towards the sennhesier but I'm open to suggestions! 

Thanks!

You should consider the Takstar HI-2050

Yes, sure.
 
Takstars HI-2050 are semi-open headphones (sort of a Beyerdynamic DT880). Build quality and comfort is similar to those headphones in the 100-200 range.
The sound is very detailed and great for gaming, the bass is a tiny bit north of neutral but still a neutralish headphone. If you want tons of bass then skip it.
Being slightly bright it can be unforgiving with poor recordings but that's the trade off for the detailed presentation that's nice for gaming and critical listening.
All in all, DT880-like experience for £49 or so...

Thanks for the reply! I'll probably buy the headphones tomorrow, as I need to put money on my debit card :) I want to thank all of you for the great advise that you have given to me and I can't wait for my ear to exposed to breathing sound. BTW, the only pair of headphones that I have used is beats solo (the old one) and Razer kraken, currently I'm using Symphonized NRG 2.0 Premium Genuine Wood In-ear Noise-isolating Headphone. 
 
Thanks again!

You're welcome.
Coming from very different headphones give yourself enough listening time to become comfortable with the new (more neutral) sound signature.
Remember that quality headphones shine with quality recordings.
