I've gotten to the point where I'm sick of my apple ear buds (not sure how I managed for about a year) and I'd like to get some better over ear headphones to use with my iPod classic and iPhone. I know that "audiophile" headphones often suffer when being driven by phones or other small devices, but I'm not willing to carry an amp around with me, so the headphones will need to be able to be driven by just the phone on it's own. I'd like noise cancellation as well, or at least very good noise isolation. Thanks in advance for any pointers you can give me.

lets start with the basics. Would you want in or over ear headphones?

Shit, meant to put that in the OP. I would like over ear headphones, closed back for noise isolation, no more than £200.

I will refer the Monster N-Tune HD, It is what I am wearing right now. If you want, you can go for gaming headsets, like the craken creative (Metalic). Monster is a brand that is like beats, and actually is paired up to them. My brother managed to pick them up for 30-35 pounds, with a discount.
