Under 50euros over-ear headphones choice?

  Now for the last time. I'm left choosing from creative Aurvana live and Audiotechnica ath-fc707 going to order one of these this week. Aurvana looks more like a full size headphones, but built quality worries me very much.  I watched tons of reviews but still have no clue if any of these has any noise isolation.

There's no clear cut choice, all headphones are going to have drawbacks and advantages.
 
Creative Aurvana
-will sound better just based off the fact I never heard of that Audio-technica and the CAL! is recommended by pretty much everyone 
-will have a bigger more immersive sound being around ear rather than on ear
-but it will leak more due to it's design than many other closed headphones only noticeable at high volume (personally I think this is an advantage, you don't want air-tight closed headphones, get's uncomfortable)
-can get sweaty with long listening sessions
-very flimsy plastic material, likely to break if you're not careful, but if you don't drop/break things a lot I wouldn't worry about it
 
Audio-technica
-on ear, less sweaty because it doesn't cover whole ear, better hear your surroundings
-less bulky, sleeker more streamlined design
-darker, more bass heavy sound
-not good treble clarity
