do i want them to be completely neutral?
are there any specific kinds i should be looking out for.
Ill be on quite a small budget of £50-80

What you want is something with a clear midrange. You cannot mix solely on headphones; you will have to listen through loudspeakers on some point or the mix will never balance.
Is noise a factor? Then go with Sony MDR-7506. They are clean, play loud, and are closed ear.
If you go with open ear, you will have a more neutral tone. Go with Grado SR-80 or SR-125s in your price range.

yeah i noticed about things not balancing when trying with some xfx gaming headphones and the drums sounded really loud through the headphones and nearly inaudible on my 5.1 system

Grado SR-80s are awesome, I got mine from here and they arrived the next day http://www.iheadphones.co.uk/headphones/19570/Grado+SR80.htm

Sennheiser.

Grado's are a bad idea for mixing i reckon. a very distinct sound signature, and far from flat. I've tried mixing with mine before, and when the mix was played through monitors it was COMPLETELY off.

id say get some studio speakers instead, headphones are good for arranging etc but to mix its best done through speakers
