Looking for a new headset for gaming and listening to music within a £100 - £200 ($150 - $300) price bracket
Currently running from on board audio so I don't have an amplifier, DAC or sound card

Ok. I was in your position like 2 years ago.

 

GET A HEADPHONE +MODMIC / EXTERNAL MIC!!! NEVER FALL INTO THE GAMING HEADSET HYPE!
 

I can't warn you enough. 

So if you want recommendations, tell me what music you listen to, and what kindof sound you like.

Beyerdynamic DT770/990 with a modmic if I was in your position, it's better than any headset you can buy IMHO.

Not OP but what would you recommend to someone who listens to bass music and likes bass?

Probably something like vmoda LP 1/2 depending on budget + modmic/ vmoda gaming mic. 

Vmodas are known for their V shaped bassy sound with awesome customization.

My friend has one and I think they're great for $120
