Headphone suggestion

Frode

So i posted this question later back, but didnt get that many suggestions so iam reposting.

Iam looking for a headphone that i can use for studying in school to close all sounds out.

So i ask you guys since i dont have that much of experience with "real" audio headphones.

 

Budget of around 20+, 20- 100 dollars doesnt matter.

Wireless (prefeberely).

Good sound quality (of course).

Good noise isolation (passive im thinking as ANC makes the price rush away).

As little leakage as possible while at higher volumes for examples.

Over ear.

 

Hope you guys have a good suggestion. :)

Looks god but i read on this article that it apperently does not have as good isolation and controlls leakage :http://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/audio-technica/ath-m40x . Thanks for the suggestion thoes seems to have a good price here in sweden.

 

BS website, they gave beats higher score than an m40x. i would still suggest that, at your price point that's the best headphone you can get.

Yep. I have the M50Xs which just have more base as far as I know. 

 

The M40Xs are pretty good headphones. Highly recommend AudioTechnica

There are no wireless versions of the M40-50x series.

For wireless then. That is one of the critical points for me. Rather trading a little sound quality against losing a wire.

I cannot comment on wireless headphones since I don't use them. And realistically I never will unless I get the iPhone 8 when it comes out.
