I would have recommended you get the sr60's but since you'll be travelling you'd piss a bunch of people off as they leak quite a bit :(

Possible to pick up a 2nd hand pair of senn hd25's for 70eu and they tick every box other than surround sound (loL). Lightweight, durable, awesome sound, 3.5+1/4" jack adapter etc etc etc

well then the sony studio monitors for that price range(mentioned below), def not the dj series unless you want to keep buying them every year or so. for isolation i bought AKG k518le just because they were on sale for 45eur. but what you want more on over ear or on ear?

Ever heard about Koss Porta Pro? You can buy them on ebay for about 40euro, in stores for about 75euro, in UK for about 22Euro (dunno why)..
They are actually the best headphones I know (using them even for ET, awesome 5.1 sound performance, better than my medusa NX 5.1 soround sound headset)

PS: You can plug them into keyboards, guitars and so on too, I'm using them for my e-guitar.. they are awesome.. metalling all day!

Ok, headphones thread.
If you want to get THE best headphones all-around, buy the Sony MDR-7506. These headphones are just simply amazing, the frequency response from 20 hz to somewhere around 17 khz is FUCKING PLAIN. That means, no boosts on low freq's (Dr Dre's Shits) or other stuff. Durable? Fuck yeah, just recently I damaged mine after I dropped them from like a 3rd floor, otherwise they're very durable. You can't argue with recording studios all over the world, they are awesome and only like 70 euros.
