Ditch the noise cancelling idea. They have a tendency to sound muffled and plain crummy. This is due to the background "silence" being introduced back into the headphone to cancel out the noise around you. Look into a good pair of sealed headphones. My pair of Sennheiser HD-280pro's have 32 dB of ambient noise attenuation. They block out the vast majority of the noise around you. My friend Adam is actually borrowing them right now for a plane trip to NY.
