Right now I have the: JVC-HAFX1X-Xtreme (Which are like £10)
Which my PC is next to me and not silent, so I can hear the PC.
 
Would it be better to buy in-ear earphones or a closed headphone/set? Are there any headphones which are built like the peltor optime?
I was looking at hyperX headset, I don't know much about earphones.
 
Staying under the £100 odd range
 
I need some good sound isolation.

You might be able to find an ATH m50 at your price point. Also a good option (the mx is currently $160 at amazon in the US). V-shaped sound signature. Solid. Very popular. Should keep you fairly well-isolated from outside sound/noise.

Hm I'll check it out.
 
Sound isn't my biggest gripe when it comes to headsets/phones. I want some good decent sound but sound isolation is probably what I am looking for the most.
 
Heard a lot of good reviews about the hyperx cloud so I may as well try that out

The shure se215 is generally described as a warm all rounder with really good isolation
