Looking to get a new set of headphones for my iPhone. I normally just use the stock Apple ones but they fall apart pretty quickly.

I had a look around some stores this weekend and had a play with the Bose QuietComfort 3's and was pretty impressed with the noise cancelling, although the price was pretty out of my range I have found them for around £150 on ebay.

What I am looking for is:

1) Headphones, not earphones. Don't like shoving things in my ear, as it isn't often that comfortable. The pad needs to be small though, the pad on the QC3 was a pretty good size I thought.

2) Good noise cancelling without leaking sound. I travel the tube most days so want to drown out any outside sound. I don't like blasting music in to my ears and I don't want to annoy other people with the sound.

3) Need to be able to have a remote on the cable that works with the iPhone so that I can use it to make calls.

I have a maximum budget of £150. I am really tempted by the QC3s second hand, but wanted to know if I could get better bang for my buck. Although admittedly I am no audiophile - hence how I have managed to put up with the Apple stock earphones for a while! Any help or points would be appreciated :)
 
cool your after exactly what i need , cannot stand in ear ones, i've had lots of styles they never seem to have good enough sound levels unless you physically push them in your ear hole and keep the pressure on.

i'm after some but over the ear type but compact enough to like forget there on.

i was thinking of these

they do a ipod/iphone version for answering calls etc for your budget, which are semi noise cancelling but i doubt you'll get the proper ones even 2nd hand for £150
