Hi again,
Yep, the Etymotics can be a little annoying to begin with, but I spoke

anyways.
I have a pair of Grado SR-80's and old Sennheiser HD 495's

sound as good as the Grado's (the best sound I have heard yet in
headphones) , are as
Might I suggest you have a peep over at www.head-fi.org
They've got HEAPS and HEAPS of stuff in their forums on good cans.
Instead of 'noise cancelling' have you considered 'Isolation' based
cans?
Ones that come to mind are made by:
Etymotic Research
Shure
Ultimate Ears
