looking for headphones with GOOD isolation

I DJ out regularly and many times the noise levels in the DJ booth are so high I have to crank my headphones up to levels that are, frankly, insane and dangerous. Don't get me wrong, I love a loud system as much as the next man but pumping 130 dB into my ears with a headphone to overcome outside noise seems a bit daft. Therefore, I am looking for new headphones with really good isolation so I can just blank out the club noise.

I currently have these Stantons and was looking to buy these. Does anyone have any experience with these (or similar) headphones?

Sennheiser HD25.

They fit around the ear nicely so you can monitor with ease.

get some $30 headphones from guitar center and some $12 ear plugs and save a buck or two.

this. mine blew out this past month however, but they were good for a full year. sound is great, and it's a great price, considering the range and quality of them.

Try Ultrasone for that budget. I got a set for £90 ish, can't remember the model number, but the sound is excellent and the isolation is great.

HD-25's are nice phones but not "GOOD" isolation by any means. I swear this forum just recommends 25's for anything with 'headphones' in the requirements.
