Good stereo headphones for music/gaming, £50 or less

Ive been using these cheap 'Rio' headphones for a long time now as they came free with an old mp3 player, so i want a pair that sound decent and are comfortable.
I don't want any of them 5.1 headphones as ive read nothing but bad things about em. Price limit is £50, and im using an X-fi Xtreme Music soundcard.

Any suggestions?

Im not sure about the Sennheiser PX100, but ive just had a look at the Sennheiser HD range...

I quite like the look of the Sennhieser HD 465, only £45 aswell. Anyone have experience with the Sennheiser HD's?

I have found the Koss porta pro for £28 delivered, so should i go for this or something from the Sennheiser HD range? or the px100??(for gaming)

My choice is between the PX100, the HD 4xx or the koss porta pro. Any more comments?

I just cant decide! The HD's look very comfortable, but are they any good when its warm, like it is now? Im thinking the Porta Pro would be better for that, but there must be someone else who can help me decide. Please

Well anyway i went for the Sennheiser HD 465's, which i found for £38 delivered, all i can say is WOW!

They are so powerful! My music never sounded so good through headphones before! And so comfortable.
I highly reccommend these headphones to anyone who wants some thumping bass when listening to music, without waking up the neighbors

and apart from the bass, they have fantastic sound quality aswell.
