£100 isolating headpones for classical music?

I'm looking to replace my CX-300 IEM's (not much of a fan of them) for headphones. I will be using them for the daily commute on a train so they need to isolate both ways. I want to have over/on ear headphones that are portable and don't look ridiculous ( not or lol)

Music: Symphonies, Vivaldi, Beethoven piano sonatas and Scriabin to name a few.

I look forward to your recommendations.

Sorry, by not much of a fan I meant not a fan of IEM's.

Shame because I would also second (well third) ER4.
I see a UK member is selling a set of ESW9 for £100 in London. They don't isolate terribly well but they are nice and do everything pretty well.

I'd rather buy new, besides I am unable to post in that forum.

Yes you can't post but you can pm the seller just fine. Buying second hand is a great way to try things out without loosing all that much money as you usually can resell at about the same price you bought if you don't like and only loose fees/postage.
