Noise isolating headset wihtout breaking the bank?

Hi Guys,

Can you suggest me a nice pair of headset with good noise isolating capabilities? I am currently using Turtlebeach P12 which are great quality in term of sound but I can hear the telly when my partner is using it which is annoying (for her as she needs to turn it down ).

Something cheap and cheerful (for what I am looking for)!

How much have you got to play with?

Bose are cheap and cheerful. Sound quality is poor, but they isolate well.

I did some research in the meantime and I have narrowed it down to these two:

Asus Orion Pro (30db noise cancellation...which is a lot)
HyperX Cloud II (20db noise cancellation)

They seem both very valid, I don't care about surround as that is a nonsense... I had a pair of ACTIVE 5.1 and it was rubbish, I can imagine simulated!

Both are well priced (I want to stay in the 60 to 90 quid range).

My main purchase factor is isolation...10db is 10db even though they seem very valid

Quality wise the P12 are fantastic (my current gear) but noise level isn't I can ear the telly my girlfirend can ear what's in the headset...

She wont be watching tv at +10db....

My avr only powers my rather expensive speakers to +15db. No tv speaker goes anywhere near that. Your TV speakers probably don't go over -20db.
