I agree with Alexender. Everyone knows about Bose because Bose has a big budget for marketing. That means that part of the price you pay goes to marketing. Same with Beats by Dr. Dre.

In 2007 I heavily researched portable, noise cancelling headphones and I made the investment to buy a pair of Sennheiser hd25-1 ii
I would link you but I actually signed up to respond to this. Just google them.

Not only do they sound amazing but they have awesome noise reduction that doesn't require a battery. They are ultra durable I use them almost daily and they have taken a beating from me, from just throwing them into my backpack to running with them (the top splits to give you a snug fit). They are a little more expensive than you are looking for but as long as you don't lose them they could last you well over a decade. These are the headphones all American professional sports announcers wear because they do such a good job at blocking out background noise that would be in a stadium.

But don't just take my word for it, google them again with review in your query and check out why folks love them so much.

I've got a Sennheiser HD 201 and the isolation is rather bad.

What I use for isolation are earphones with longer foams that really stuff the ears effectively (basically, not IPOD buds).
I had more luck with that than headphones as far as isolation is concerned.

Bose are outrageously over-priced: those shown above are the "QuietComfort 2" headphones, which seem to be discontinued (at least, they're not on the Bose UK site) - but the list price appears to be over £200.
Bose currently have the "QuietComfort 15" and the "QuietComfort 3", listed at £279 and £299 respectively.

Suggestion: buy from someone else! :wink:

I've thought about noise-reduction headphones but they tend to work best for fairly stable sounds (like the noise on a plane). I'm not as bothered by this (although I hate construction work) as I am the random bits of chatter or someone typing in the library. I'm actually tempted to pick up some ear protector things, providing they can pass off as headphones and not look too out of place.

Those are not advertised as being isolating. The sennheiser headphones that are good at isolating advertise that they are. Most are not, and they don't say anything about isolating noise.
I have HD 202 after I looked up multiple brands, they sound really good so I am really happy I got them. Now I don't hear much outside noise if I have the volume at a reasonable level (I looked it up one time and it said that the volume I usually listen to is safe for my ears)

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PX-200 ... B002VPDOHS

These are noise isolating ones for about $70 dollars without shipping considered (i don't know what that price would be in pounds)
[Mod. edit: right now, $70 US = £40 ]
