I'm very happy with my AudioTechnica QuietPoint headphones:

I tried several sets of headphones in the $60 range first and the
AudioTechnica noise cancelling is much much better.  About the same as
my friend's Bose, as near as I can tell.  I considered canalphones
like the Shure but canalphones are not comfortable for me for more
than an hour or so.  Plus there's the whole cleaning issue.

Right now I'm actually borrowing my co-worker's Sennheiser PXC 450
since I left mine at home, and the PXC 450 is even more comfortable.
But not $300 more comfortable, I think.
