As above, anyone kind enough to recommend me some?

I have been looking at these ones, the only thing I can fault, is the price....

These are superb. I've had mine for at least 5 years and still output fabulous sound together with great build quality. The single AAA battery lasts at least 6 months and I use them for travelling each week.

Sennheisers all day long.

Bose and B&O are brands with little substance.

With proper closed back headphones you don't need to pay a £200 premium for useless electronics.

With my Beyers on the wife has the TV blasting through 7 big speakers and I am totally oblivious.

They are built for recording on location, and they will also block almost all of the sound of a full orchestra so you can monitor something else. No fancy noise cancelling, just good engineering.
