Noise Cancelling Headphones

Well, this year i'll be journeying to New Zealand twice, in summer and at christmas time and thought I ought to take a look at some decent headphones for the flight!
I've currently got some Sennheiser PMX60's but the sound leakage is terrible and I thought those sitting near me on the plane wouldn't be impressed.
I've got about £150 to spend tops, any recommendations? I'm not particularly keen on in-earphones as they usually fall out or hurt my ear. I'm fairly impressed by the Sennheiser PXC300's. Any comments about those headphones, or other recommendations?

Thanks

Cheers, i'll take a look. I tried some really nice Shure headphones when I went to the Best of Stuff show in London, they were decent in-earphones, inquired about the price - £360!

They were alright, a little uncomfortable though, which isn't really acceptable for a long flight.

Yeh, there's a fair chance. The guy with the earphones only had one fitting. Anyway, I shall take a look now, thank you for the advice

Cool, to be honest i'm still pretty swung by the Sennheiser PXC300's, though some of those canal in-earphones look great too.... decisions decisions, oh well, I won't be buying any 'til next payday anyway.

Well, after looking around at canal in-earphones it occured to me I will in fact go for those, I managed to find 2 of the ones I wanted on that well known auction site for under £150.

Now it's case of deciding between the 'Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro' and 'Shure E4C Sound Isolating Earphones - White'

Ultimate Ears ones are somewhat cheaper, anyone had any experience with these?
