Advice for headphones.

Hi,

I need to get some headphones for my job.
Sometimes my coworkers can get a little noisy and it can be distracting so I need some headphones that are noise canceling.
I'm not super concerned about sound quality since I will probably only listen to music on youtube.

Any thing I should watch out for? Given my needs does it even matter what I pick?
 
i got a pair of JVC HAFX67 from amazon like 6 months ago, they were pretty cheap, they are in ears and actually sound surprisingly good for what they cost (like 25$)
 
For around 100$ you can get some ATH-M50's which sound good and block out alot of noise. They don't leak much either which is nice so you don't bother others around you.
 
The Monoprice 8323 is a fantastic budget can. Most of Sennheiser's cans below the HD4xx line are...well, not competitive for the price.

I haven't listened to all the budget headphones out there, but I have listened to the Monoprice 8323 headphones and they are a very good value.
 
Right now I am planning on getting the Sennheiser HD201

HD201 is a great choice for under $50

HD205 is pricier but has better isolation:

And the HD280Pro can do even more isolation:
