Stop sensing mates
Hello, there. This is a kind of "Which headphone should I get?"-thread, but I'll try to make it a bit more informative.
Current situation:
I'm norwegian, and currently doing my mandatory year of military service. This means living in a barrack, with four other people in my room. Ie, a home rig is not a current option. What I'm using now is zen sleek -> Minibox e+ -> HD 650. I'll be changing my source to a cowon d2 soon. Now, the 'problem' is the HD650s. They keep my room mates awake, and I'm bothered by their noise.
I need a set of headphones which are either sealed or noise cancelling, and I'd like them to justify the FLAC -> Minibox e+. I really like the signature of the 650s, so something like that would be nice. I will use them for portable listening when I've finished my year in the military service. I've looked at pxc 450, and they look great, albeit at a price. Another option is the Beyerdynamic DT 770.
Any suggestions?

Best isolating closed fon I've crossed so far was the AKG K271. If you like your HD650, you propably get along with its signature quite well.

The ESW9 look incredibly good, and I'm reading some interesting things about them. The isolation part is really a crux here, so I'll have to look for peoples comments on that.
