The Porta Pros are some seriously ugly headphones. I don't think any owner of them has gotten laid since the '80s. Oh, they're for your daughter... Carry on.

Yeah, Chris, that's why Ray likes them so much.
Anyway, I'm interested in some closed-back headphones. I have various cheap earbuds that I like fine, and my Grados are just dandy, too.
Do I need to spend $100-150, or is there something less expensive that I might enjoy?

I use the Etymotic HF5 for noise cancelling headphones. http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hf5.html

Tom, no need to pay that much; these should be fine.

Thank you, John. You always come through. I was envisioning a circumaural arrangement, though.
The Shure 440 and Sennheiser 280 seem to fit the bill, but you all often have excellent low cost suggestions.

I much prefer the AudioTechnicas to the Sennheiser 280s, for what it's worth. More money, but much better quality.
