Here is the deal: We got a digital piano and need some solid $100 headphones. The DP is in the same room as the Xbox 360 and while it doesn't need to be perfectly quiet for DP practice a headphone that has little leakage and can mute some of the ambient noise is desired. Hence open headphones aren't ideal.

I found the following on Amazon which seem decent.

Sennheiser HD-280 PRO Headphones

Pro: 32dB of ambient noise attenuation

Sennheiser HD438
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DGTGNQ/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A371WP6P00TWM0
Pro: 4.6' and 10' detachable cables

Sennheiser HD448

Pro: 4.6 ft OFC with 5.2 ft OFC extension; leatherette earpads block out ambient noise


The HD-280's sound like a solid bet. Any suggestions?
 
Have you looked at any of the in-ear headphones such as from Shure or similar from Sennheiser? They do an awesome job of removing any and all ambient noise. With my Shure E3s and E4s, I can't hear any outside noise which means the audio level I need to use is around 20% of that with normal headphones.
