Decent Headphones for about €100?

I'm about to take my first (tentative) steps into budget home recording. I'm looking for recommendations for the best headphones for about €100.

I'm looking for something I can do basic mixing with. I reckon they'd have to be fairly flat in their EQ set up? IE, no 'Bass Boosting' etc so that I can hear exactly what's going on without too much 'coloring'.

Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated!

100e is going to be tough

maybe a second hand pair of HD 25's?

If you're looking for a closed back pair then I can't recommend more the Sony MDR-V6's. I've had my pair for almost a decade now and I wouldn't buy any others!

The new KRK are really very good. Admittedly it was a quick listen, but I thought they were as accurate as the HD25. About €80 I think.

Would also make a shout for Audio Technicas.

Sony MDR 7506's about 99$ in Manny's etc. They are even in the vid on http://www.neilyoung.com/
Practically a standard for guys in the States.

I certainly like my Sennheiser HD600's. They're not good for tracking vocals because they are as loud on the outside as they are on the 'inside.'

They're comfortable, have great frequency response at all listening levels, and have tight bass, shimmering highs.
They're good for critical listening, IMO. But they cost more than €100 actually.
I think some other types of Sennheiser headphones will suit you.
