Agreed. As a sound professional, let me second that you should pretty much never use noise cancelling headphones. If you’re looking for a sturdy, quality set of monitoring headphones, I’d also recommend the Sony MDR 7506. It sounds good, it’s compact, and has a nice coiled cable to stay out of the way. It’s pretty much an industry standard, and typically you can find it for around $99 retail, so it won’t break your bank.
