Best mic preamp (and budget pre) to pair with an SM57?

I really like using this on my voice. It seems to work fairly well.

I have heard that dynamic mics are affected much more strongly by preamps than condenser mics because the gain change required is so much greater.

This leads to two questions:

1) Will a better mic preamp fundamentally change the sound of a 57?

and

Budget Headphones

I'm in the midst of building a small setup for recording. In my spending of cash flow, I have very little left in my budget for anything else. Right now I have a pair of $25 Sony headphones I bought at Walmart.

Does anyone have recommendations for headphones under $50?
I could possibly spend up to $100, but would prefer to be under $50.
