Re: headphones
Just search Google for "closed back headphones". Personally I use a moderately priced pair of Klipsch Image One headphones (as I love how they sound even though they're iPhone headphones).

Re: headphones
You probably want leatherette rather than fabric pads too. For the price the Corsair HS1A cant really be beaten IMO: Corsair Gaming Audio Series HS1A Analogue Headset [CS-HS1AEU]

Cheap at the moment (like half their original price) because the Vengeance range was released.

Re: headphones
a friend got a pair of Audio Technica at xmas, said they were cheap (think 25 was mentioned), and when i threw them on all the noise in the room just disappeared, and that was before i hit play
i was impressed with the isolation for a light, comfortable pair of cheap cans tbh
depends if you want big & bulky or light and portable i suppose..

Re: headphones
As you know I just bought a pair of Klipsch Image s3 earphones and I love them, block out a ton of noise and I got them for only $79, they sound great too.
