Yeah, I think high end little headphones are more what I was after than the 'proper' cans that were being recommended. My hi-fi housemate recommended Sennheiser's in ear one, although I've yet to look at that. By the way, noise cancelling is less important to me than low escapage, since when I say office, I'm thinking of a room full of people doing maths; 'library' would probably be a better description of the atmosphere than 'office'!
