If isolation is a main concern I too would have to suggest the SuperFi's. I have the SuperFi 3's and find the sound on par with both the AKG 81's and the Senn 280 pro. As far as comfort is concerned it's no contest imo. The 280's are pretty comfortable but a bit to heavy for portable use. To me the AKG's are like having my head in a vise, they are way to tight for me but they sure do sound good.
