I'm a big fan of AKG budget offerings.
Recently bought a pair of K52 for the princely sum of £26 online. They're excellent.
Within your budget you could maybe get them and perhaps some Koss or Superlux too for a bit of variety.

One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

I bought four sets of these. I have a few Grados and these do them proud.

Thanks for all your suggestion everyone. I went with the Akg K92 closed backs. Amazon had them for £31.86 on the Amazon warehouse section. They'll be here Monday, thanks again all!!

I can't tell it apart from the official Grado ones that come in that same shape on the more expensive phones. The key thing s that they don't seem to press on your ear on the same way or in the same places. The flat Grado ones supplied with SR 60 and 80 are very uncomfortable and they also muffle the sound. Getting shot of them lifts the cheaper Grados towards the performance of the more expensive ones as Afr as I'm concerned.

I use the Sennheiser yellow foam pads (spares for HD4OO/414) - They don't heat up my ears/make them itch as much as the Grado originals or the "doughnuts" which I have also tried.
