Headphone advice

[awkwardbydesign]

Personally I hate headphones, but we need a pair of closed back 'phones so one of us can listen to films on the computer while the other is watching tv/listening to music in the same room. Open backs are no good, we need some isolation. Does anyone know of some fairly good, fairly cheap phones? Old models would be fine, don't need (I think) noise cancelling, or real hifi quality, it's for films on the 'puter. And something that would be comfortable for a couple of hours.

What about in-ear phones? Better sound quality for less money than over ears and comfier to wear too.......

P.s Even closed back phones will leak some sound too.

For the money, AKG K550s are easy to recommend.

Not what we want, especially as they will be shared.

£100 isn't "fairly cheap" in my world! Perhaps I should have said very cheap?

Got to be a pair of Superlux if you want the cheaper end .

There are some Sennheiser HD439 or HD202 phones that look like they will be cheap. As they are only for football, films and bike racing on the computer, comfort and isolation are the main priorities. Obviously I don't want a sound that will hurt, but hifi quality is not a priority! I don't know if the laptop or computer will drive low impedance phones, though.
