Hd201,about £20 when I bought them ten or more years back. Worth the money. Anything more than this and you're into diminished returns, it just doesn't make sense to step outside the lower part of £30.
We are like 11 and 1 o'clock, so close yet so far.
I can't see 100 quid getting five times the headphone experience. Given these have lasted a decade, I don't see myself needing to replace the five times over during the rest of my life. I don't think my ears would be able to distinguish the difference, especially not from pc sound output.

Just to be clear, this is not what I'm claiming either, when I choose the £100 headphones. I don't think anyone would make that claim. I find them to be "better", and worth the premium, but absolutely not five times "better".

That's all that really matters I guess.
You could try to find a way to test a "better" setup (source device + headphones) to see if you are missing out. But you could also absolutely just avoid doing that and just stay happy.
