I'm looking for a pair of headphones and a primary feature will be noise isolation. Obviously, they shouldn't sound trashy, but noise isolation is the important part. USB would be the most convenient connection, but I can deal with others.
I was at a clients house where he had everybody’s favorite brand, Bose, and these Bluetooth headphones, as soon as you put them on you could not hear yourself or anyone else talk. It was actually a little bit eerie.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.
i got a very nice pair of senheisser ones... they fit great, sound good and block noise....

Say what you want about Bose, they make a solid noise canceling headphone. When I was a Bose contractor, they gave me a pair when they first came out. They were solid.
I have a pair of Focal that I'm really happy with.
I got a customer a great pair of B&W’s that she thought were uncomfortable. She picked up a pair from Bose and loves them. I ended up keeping the B&Ws for myself and really like them. Both have app based setups and work nicely.
I've got a cheap set of Sony noise-canceling headphones that got me from LA to Istanbul at a much lower noise level than my other headphones had. If you're looking for noise canceling, there are LOTS of models that are great..
I hadn't caught that you meant exactly what you wrote -- noise isolating. If your main goal really noise isolating, noise canceling anything will be much less effective than cheap silicone hearing protection. I think there's a decision to be made as to whether you want to protect your hearing or simply lessen noise while listening to audio.

Shure was recently giving away Aonic 50 headphones to dealers that received advanced certifications. My co-worker really likes his. It would be interesting to compare them to the Bose, which has been considered the best in noise canceling.
I can't really tell what you want to spend but: I bought the monoprice ones - IIIP (because I'm cheap). I like them, you can use them wired (standard small plug) or via BT. There are better headphones for sure. I really only use them on plane flights and at airports.
This is my neighbor John. Great studio drummer. He’s retired now but his headphones are still available. He gave me a pair awhile back and I listen to them while cutting grass and what not.
I've been using the Bose models for years and currently have the AE2 model, and normally use them while traveling which I haven't done much of lately.
I recently won a pair of Microsoft's Surface 2 headphones and they have replaced the Bose for regular use. They seem to equal the Bose in cancellation, but do a better job in isolation and are far more comfortable for long periods of time. They work better with conference calls in my experience as well.
Just one note if you aren't used to noise cancellation, after a while (several hours) the cancellation itself can get a little tiring or irritating.
If it wasn't for the fact that want to use them for calls as well, I'd suggest you look for a nice set of in-ear headphones with good foam cups. I just got a new set of Westone's (B50) last week to replace a 10 year old set and with the foam it's a great setup. But i don't use them for calls.
I tried a bunch at a local store. Sennheiser, B&W, Bose and Sony. For me, I liked the fit and sound of the Sony's. Honestly they were all great and start about $350 on up. I believe Sony is on their 4th rendition of the WX1000's. I have the M3's and love em.
