Well, the fact that you really want headphones with both noise cancelling and a good soundstage could pose a little bit of a problem. Those are like two polar opposite ends of the headphone spectrum. If you want noise cancelling (passive or active), you will have to get closed back headphones. However, 90% of the time, closed backs don't have very good soundstage. That's just the way it is. If you want good soundstage, you would have to get an open back set. The closest headphone that I can think of that has at least both of these attributes is the Audio Technica ATH-A900x. It actually does have good soundstage, but the noise cancelling isn't too amazing. It's what you'd expect from any typical closed-back. But if that doesn't bother you too much, I think it's a great set.
 
However, they aren't very portable, so I don't know if you'd want them. Asking for portability, bass, noise cancelling, and good soundstage is kind of a lot to ask for lol.
