Tempting as it may be to go with the big names, Beyer, Sennheiser, AKG etc, there is a company knocking around that specialises in headphones* named Grado. Not a household name, but the sound quality is staggering for the money. They range from £90 to £1700 ( ). The SR60i are £90, personally I'd go for the SR80i at £110 or the SR125i at around £150.
*They also make audiophile standard pickup cartridges for turntables.

I always gathered that Grado were the "hifi" equivalent in headphones. Lovely sounding but not really great for mixing (PS. Grado is a "big name")
What you really need is these
