Ask around on head-fi. A few members are full of shit, but you can find good reviews there, just don't get carried away.
Creative is garbage, I wouldn't touch anything by them. And BOSE is a scam.

Lowe has a pair of Audio Technica A900 closed headphones (which are very awesome) which he claims cancel a lot of noise, but since they aren't actual noise canceling headphones I couldn't tell you how much reduction it is.
I suggest staying away from Sennheiser as well, they're well known for the Sennheiser Veil(tm). Lowe pawned a pair of HD595s to get A900s, and he says the 595s couldn't compare. Even though both are $200 headphones.
Oh, and I couldn't put it any better: [20:27] <Lowe> noise cancellation is a scam
[20:27] <Lowe> my a900s cancel out more noise than you'd everneed

IMO just get some closed audiophile headphones. Most of them should reduce outside sound by around 8-18 db.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

In-ear headphones can't compare to larger headphones sound-quality wise, though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
