I'm looking into getting a pair of decent quality headphones, and I've seen a couple of models from different brands. I'd like to get a comfortable pair with cups that fit right over the ear, but I'd also like to be able to use them on a portable cd player so I don't know if there's a power issue there. The main thing that I'm concerned about that I've heard is sound leakage both from noise outside going in and from inside the phones to the outside. I don't know how big of a problem this would be as I usually have music in a public place. And the only company I know that offers noise-cancellation is Bose, which are really pricey. I don't really want to spend over $150. (120 american)
Anyone have any recommendations?

I personally would recommend the Sony MDR-7506. They have been the standard in the audio industry, as well as tv/film industry for many years. I use them for DJing (when I used to dj), monitoring, mixing, recording, just about anything. They used to be really expensive, but I think you can get them for around $80-$100 dollars now. Do a google search, and when you find a picture I'm sure you'll recognize them, as they are very popular headphones.

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:
