    the new Audio Technica`s are on sale at the minute on Amazon for £129, they are known for their great neutral sound, ive no idea how well they do at noise cancelling though. if you dont want to spend qc35 or 1000mx prices these might be worth a look

    100 euro, I understand if something decent cant be got for the price I can do without. Have qc35 2s but wouldn't risk them.

    I am looking too, as (partly through my own fault) I am after having a 2nd pair stolen since Hallowe'en.
    I saw this offer, then saw the thread, I am thinking of going for it.
    At that price and with that many purchases/reviews it sound be fine - unless you are a real connoisseur of sound.

    Really does depend on your budget. If you look at the below links, you'll see that the top rated headphones are £250 upwards.

    11. JBL Live 650BTNC Great noise-cancelling headphones for those on a budget

    If you are willing to go a little higher than budget, Saturn (German store) currently have a special offer of the JBL Tune 750BTNC and the JBL Live 200BT in-ear for €99.
    You can use mailboxde.com to ship them (I guesstimate €15 -€20 shipping)
    I only saw the offer about 10 minutes ago, so I haven't read many reviews or package weight yet.

    Edited -
    The Tune 750 have a packaged weight of 472g
    The Live 200 seem to have a packaged weight of 2.1kg, so that ups the shipping cost to around €20 in total.

    Damn. Missed this, seemed like a very good price for two decent pairs, both of which I could use for different purposes.

    Any other similar offers out there anyone??
