Work Headphones Under $200, sealed, easy to drive

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for suggestions for work headphones. They can't be fussy about the source. Sometimes a laptop, sometimes my phone. I'm often a fan of AKG headphones, even if I like a little more bass. 

Noise isolation is also important.

What would you recommend? 

Best,

Erik

Consider the Beyerdynamic DT240 Pro.  On sale for $89.  I really like mine, and Steve Guttenberg gave them a really enthusiastic review.

Just discovered Mitchell & Johnson via Parts Connexion's July sale. Comments? 

I really have never heard of them, and the GL2 is just above my price point, but I could stretch if worth it.

Seinheiser HD 25 Pro. Excellent isolation, comfort and tremendous dynamics. Works well with iPhone or other low power amp.

The new B&W noise canceling phones cost around $400 and sound impressive and felt comfortable when I demoed them.  The noise canceling can be turned off and the Bluetooth sounds impressive.
  You may not want to use noise canceling at work, especially if your boss is lurking
