Buying some headphones for my wife for Christmas, looking for something with the following qualities:
1.) Noise Isolating (She works in an office with 20 people in it, this is the major reason she wants new headphones, because low quality ones don't block the sound).
2.) No Amp (She's not a huge audiophile, and won't want the extra mess of attaching amps etc.) She will be driving them off a Macbook Air most of the time.
3.) Small enough to transport in a backpack. She will transport them to and from work most days.
4.) Over ear? I lent her my pair of Audio Technica CK10s, and while I think she likes them, I'm not sure she wants to have an Inner ear system going for multiple hours/day.
4.) Not bass-heavy. She listens to some combination of pop and indie music, but I don't think she wants anything super bassy.
Suggestions? I was thinking about Sennheiser HD 280 Pros, but am open to anything in a similar price bracket.
