Newbie needs advice. Noise-isolating headphones for studying use.

Thread Starter 

I am looking for something with good noise isolation, but is comfortable and not too warm on the ears after a few hours. Used primarily for studying in noisy environment, and also watching movies on laptop. Preferably cheap and durable too as I am a student on a tight budget. I am currently using IEM for studying but while it works it hurts my ears after a couple of hours.

 

Currently considering these headphones:
Sennheiser PX 200

Awaiting your wise inputs, thanks

Thanks, but I am not looking for noise-cancelling headphones (more towards isolation).

that. ask your question there.

 

`edit* actually, now that I take a look at it, I would rather prefer that that long unorganized thread dies and would rather have newbies ask via new threads. It makes it easier for everyone =]

(this is because I can't keep up with that thread lol)

I have settled on the Audio-Technica ATH-SQ5 ($50) since there is a promotion on where I am. Any comments on it?
