I have a pair of Phillips X1's at home, sound awesome but open backed.

My in-ear headphones at work just died, I've had so many pairs of these things die that I am tempted to just get a decent pair of proper Headphones instead.

Anyone got any recommendations for decent ones for sub £100? Office environment is quite noisy, active noise cancelling probably isn't required, but if there is a pair that will block out some external noise too that would be great.
 
Yeah I want to stay away from in-ear this time, I literally have to get a new pair every 6-12 months, one ear will go, then the next sometime later.

DT770's actually look pretty good, what is the difference between the 250 ohm, 32 ohm, 80 ohm versions? I will just be driving it with on-board soundcard from my work computer not a dedicated amp or DAC or anything.

You'll want the 32 or 80 Ohm for use with onboard sound. 250 Ohm really could do with an amp. 80 Ohm is cheaper I think and should work fine from onboard audio.
 
Musical Fidelity MF100. Just about bang on your price point and IMO sound better than anything I've heard close to that price.
They're not great at noise cancelling, but are closed backed and won't upset your colleagues.
