I got an annual budget at work for "workplace improvement" and since the year is nearing it's end, and there's still 250€ left in the budget, I'm thinking of getting new cans.
 
Since they should block out my coworker's noise, I need them to isolate well, and since I'll wear them all day they should be comfortable, preferrably circumaural.
If they need an amp it must be within the budget (I got my eyes on a Fiio E10 which is 80€). I like my cans to be rather warm and I'm a little sensitive to sibilance.
On the go I (usually) use a Senn HD25, at home I have a Senn HD650 and a Beyer DT990 Pro, and I'm quite happy with all of those.
 
Thanks for your suggestions :)
 
EDIT: I don't care much about active noise cancelling, but if you want to change my mind, go ahead!
 
EDIT2: If in doubt, I'll prefer sound quality over isolation. So if there's a Sound: 3/10 Isolation: 10/10 can and a Sound: 8/10 Isolation 8/10 can, I'd choose the latter :wink:
