I have a pair of Bowers and Wilkins PX which are simply stunning. Wireless, selectable levels of noise cancelling and incredibly accurate sounds. They're expensive but B&W also offer cheaper wired versions.
I've had the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 too. They're lighter than the B&W so more comfortable to wear and the noise cancelling is a stronger but isn't variable. Sound quality isn't as good IMO, Bose have built in EQ that one can't disable and it doesn't always make for the most realistic or detailed sound. The other trouble I had with them was that they amplify wind noise when outside (caused by wind hitting the microphones used for NC). They really suffer from it.
Before that I had the Quiet Comfort 20, an older model which isn't wireless but I preferred to the 35 and doesn't suffer from the wind noise problem.

I am not too much of an audiophile, decide to go to the cheap route, and ordered a $50 dollar one off amazon, that is overhead, active noise reduction, blue tooth, etc. so far, I am quite pleased in terms how much noise it reduces from the open office set up.
maybe will do the more expensive versions when Series A arrives. :).

Hope this helps
Thanks for all the tips.
