I have  a pair of Sony MDR-NC40's. awesome headphones. period. but at £50 ($90ish) they're a little expensive. Or if you want budget try the Philips SHP2500. decent sound, insanely cheap (£10 or $18) for what you  get,  indestructable, but they  do have a 6m  cable  which you'll need to trim down. if you're handy with a soldering iron then it shouldn't be  too hard. if not then look elsewhere...
