Advice for headphones.

[Chops McGandhi]

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?

Budget?

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.

most closed headphones should provide enough blockage without active noise cancelling.

Budget?

Preferably within the $50 range if possible and I am looking for the ear muff variety, not the ear buds.
Sorry for neglecting to include those details.

Thanks for the help so far.

These are great headphones for the money.

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.

HD201 is a great choice for under $50

HD205 is pricier but has better isolation:

And the HD280Pro can do even more isolation:
