I'm testing a pair of igrado's and I can still here people talking behind me, so I'm guessing they would be useless for planes and trains etc.

 I'm not that anal or in the know about sound quality. I thought the PX200's were amazing but they only lasted two years. I can't afford the Bose ones but the budget is about £150.

Just to reply to myself I'm thinking of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-Closed-Back-Headphones-Professional-Monitoring/dp/B000TDZOXG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1288109428&sr=8-2 but not sure if they are needed as my Desire won't be able to make full use of their quality?

How much use did you subject the PX200s to? I am sure mine have a lifetime warranty.

It might be worth looking out for some PXC300s if you can still find them.

Should be well within budget and in my opinion they are excellent for traveling.

I would get another PX200 as any headphone is more likely to fail when being used outdoors during activities.
