Truthear Hexa
AKG 702
Hifiman 400se - there are often sales on the Hifiman web site.
Sennheiser hd560 - if you can find a deal
I own the Hexas and they are pretty nice, described as neutral with bass boost. AKG 702 is supposed to be great for gaming but can be a bit bright for music, loads of people love them though so it's subjective. Hifiman 400se are great headphones at the price and Hifiman often have deals and the HD560 are great also, I saw a refurbished pair on the Sennheiser website for under £100.
Appreciate they are a bit over budget.
Also I have the NX4 DSD, it's a lovely little DAC / AMP, the best thing about is that you can use it as just an amp via the line in or as a DAC via the USB, so handy.
