So, the headphones in my church's AV room suddenly went out and now we're in need of a new pair. I thought I'd buy us something nice that sounds good and won't break. I know what all of the usual choices are, but one thing I'm not sure about is: Which one offers the best isolation? This is important because the band plays very loudly and we need to be able block at least some of the noise out so we can listen to individual channels.

Obviously this rules out any open designs.

saint.panda's review has graphs of relative isolation (and also a table on pg 55) that might be helpful with some of the usual suspects here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=221069

The 280 looks like the highest in that review (of the non-IEMs) followed by the 271, HFI-650, 25-1, K-181 all tied one back.

I think the DT 770 Pro/80 would be a fine choice. They're definitely built to last and the isolation is fantastic. I was not able to hear people talking directly to me when I had them on, even with no music playing.
