Let me start by apologizing for posting this topic as I'm certain information pertaining to this has been posted. However, in my defense I didn't just pop on here and post, I read through some old threads, did a little searching and ultimately decided it would be best to try and clearly state what I am looking for and see if the clearly knowledgeable people in this forum could help direct me to what I'm looking for (even if that is just linking me to the forum post that already covers this and calling me an idiot).
My situation:
I work in a shared office with one other person, which has an open door leading into two adjacent offices with one person in each. I do mentally challenging work and it is difficult for me to concentrate when I am inundated with chatter and overheard phones calls and such.
Here is my wishlist for the headphones:
1. Best quality without investing in an amp, and I would like the cord only running to one can, preferably with a connector that will plug into my ipod without an adapter.
2. Shut out outside noise well. I understand that noise cancelling headphone generally don't block out people talking very well and often make it feel as though your ear is experiencing pressure, but I'm open to this if I'm wrong.
3. Closed phones that encompass my ear entirely, and do the best job of keeping the sound contained so that other people in the office are not hearing what I am hearing.
4. I listen to a wide range of music but probably mostly 90s rock, 80s power ballads, folk, and classical. I'd like the best sound that can encompass a wide range.
5. I'd prefer not to spend more than $150-200
Thanks in advance for your help and if there is any information I have failed to provide that would make it easier for you to help me target in on the right phones for me, please let me know.
