Recommend me some cans for £100 mark

[DarkShadow]

Hey guys i'm new here so be nice, I do intend to hang around as seems like a very nice, helpful community

I'd like some recommendations for some 'proper' cans for up to £100, the cheaper the better

I had some Medusa 5.1 and god they were terrible

I couldn't wear them for more than 30 minutes, I felt like they were suffocating me. Not to mention the echo'ing sounds.

My requirements are that they must be comfortable, so that I can wear them for hours without any concern. I'll be using them for Music/Gaming/Movies in my bedroom, I have Shure E2C's for outdoors. I want some decent all rounders, I listen to kinds of music (Trance/D&B/Electronica/Hip-Hop/R&B/Rock etc.). I may prefer open cans (They're meant to be 'airier'?) as I did tend to feel really uncomfortable with the medusa's with my ears being pushed into my head, more of a claustrophobic 'feeling'. I'm just assuming that was down to the medusa's padding.

I'll be using them with my HDA Mystique soundcard but I will most likely have either the headphones plugged into the headphone socket on Logitech Z-5500 or use a splitter. I don't intend on buy any after market products such as a headphone amp.

Here's my short-list:

Sennheiser HD595 (Really leaning towards these atm, due to their rumoured uber-comfort and sound) - £90 Delivered
Alessandro MS-1'S (Seen some cracking reviews but apparently they're not as comfortable?) - $100 - Works out to about £60 Delivered?
AKG 240 Studio (Meant to sound great for the price) - £65 mark Delivered
Beyerdynamic DT770/DT990 Pro (Seen a lot of people recommend these) - £80/£95 Delivered
Audio Technica ATH-AD700 - £85 Delivered
Grado SR80's (I've heard the Alessandro's are better bang for buck, but may aswell add them to the list) - £90 or so Delivered

I'd really appreciate any advice/recommendations you guys can put forward

I got the Allesandro MS-1s a couple of months back, with tax and everything it came out as £66 to the UK - £8 of which is royal mail's "Customs Handling Charge".

The MS-1s are perfectly comforable for me, no problem there. They have a lack of "soundstage" which I now understand more than I did when I was purchasing them. But honestly, it's only in the bigger choral pieces of music, choral symphonies, that sort of thing, that I notice it as very lacking ( tho I'm not yet a fully fledged audiophile!). For rock etc, as you'd expect, they're great.

It all depends on what you're looking for sound wise. Do you prefer bass, mids, or treble? Fun or analytical? Laid back or aggressive? This will help us because each headphone on your list has its own unique sound.
