Thanks in advance for any help.

I need to grab a set of headphones to listen to music at work. Details:

-I'd like to spend around $50, but will go up to $100 if quality difference is large.
-This will be listening to music only, and the sources will probably be lower-quality (streaming offline).
-Something comfortable that will let me move a bit and not fall off is a plus.
-I'd like to be able to hear my music without sharing it with my coworkers, and likewise blocking out their noise would be nice - so maybe something that isolates sound?
-Musical taste is guitar-heavy.

Thanks!

I see in another thread someone mentions Sennheisers don't like the low power from a PC audio port, and need some sort of amplifier. Are there any such issues with this pair?

I have those, they should be fine and actually sound very good on a PC.

no, the impedence level on these headphones are such that you do not need an external amplifier.
