Headphones are an extremely personal item so it is hard to give and take
recommendations. The Audio-Technica ATH-M40fs are designed for studio
monitoring with a very flat response and have been compared favorably
against the Sennheisers HD280Pro. The DV247 site lists them for £48.99
I use the Etymotic Research ER-20 ear plugs when I go to the clubs. These
musicians ear plugs are great if you want to attinuate the sound (about
20db) but still get good tonal qualities. My wife used these when as a
second violin she was backed up against the trumpets. These will stay in
place.
