Hey Guys, Im searching for a solid pair of headphones for on the go and especially for studying in the library. (mostly listening on the phone) So Noice Cancellation for me as well as for the people around me would be important. Any Suggestions? Price Range is up to 250€ (300 if significant upgrade)

I would advise against open back headphones but most headphones with Active Noise Cancellation are closed back so that shouldn't be an issue.

 

I'd recommend the Bose QC35 Mark 2 but Bose has been exposed for listening on music being listened to on them a while back.

 

Sennheiser has an equivalent product but is slightly more expensive I believe.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Audio-Technica ATH-M50x 128.98 best pair of headphones i used excellent sound quality there's no boosts or anything. Only issue I've had is the padding it got worn out but bought some new ones amazon worked like a charm.

 

Oh puh-lease! The ATH-M50X is far from flat despite what graphs may indicate, certainly didn't sound flat to me when I'd auditioned it. Besides, OP mentioned Noise Cancellation (which, to me, is different from noise isolation), the M50X isolates noise passively, noise cancellation sounds more like active rather than passive (though it's all semantics). 

 

At OP, You can try Sony MDR1000X or the pricier MDR1000XM2, lower priced options would be Sennheiser HD 4.50 BTNC. I gave the HD 4.50 a short listen, noise cancellation is decent but definitely some compromise on sound (all active noise cancellation cans compromise on sound, it a question of degree of compromise). Still for a closed back ANC BT can, it wasn't half bad. Please bear in mind that I've only own Sennheiser HD800 and IE800, so I can't compre the sound from these to the HD 4.50.

You probably don't need active noise cancelling, but just a good closed back that isolates realitivly well.

Thanks for your answers. 

Yeah maybe I missspoke. I dont know if I need active or passive noice cancelling. I just dont want to hear other people and I want other people to not hear me when Im listening to music or something. 

 

Will look into the answers given. Thanks.

You only need to spend about 100 euro, or 150 euro for something decent. 

 

The Focal Spirit One S will get the job done with flying colors around 111 euro:

If you want to trade noise isolation for comfort, get the Sony H.ear:
