Looking for options for around the £80 mark for headphones that would give a solid sound quality with my Yamaha A-S500 amplifier. 

 

I listen to a variety of music across multiple genres. 

PC - NZXT H510 Elite, Ryzen 5600, 16GB DDR3200 2x8GB, EVGA 3070 FTW3 Ultra, Asus VG278HQ 165hz,

 

Mac - 1.4ghz i5, 4GB DDR3 1600mhz, Intel HD 5000.  x2

 

Endlessly wishing for a BBQ in space.

I own these, and although they are more pricey than your requested value I'd really suggest them if you can at all stretch the budget this far.

SHP 9500 or those that @GOTSpectrum recommended.

The SHP 9500 have a different sound signature tho.

PM or DM me if you have any questions about audio.
