Monitoring Headphones

[raximus]

Does anyone know of any good monitoring headphones that are a good deal that block out enough external noise? Ive got a pair of Vic Firth SIH1's which are really good, but i need another couple of pairs and i bought the Vic Firths in the UK (we don't have them in NZ).

Is a closed back sufficient enough to block out the external sound? What specifications should i look for when buying a pair of studio Monitoring headphones?

Thanks

James

I'd do a search on this one. There has been tons of discussions on this one.
