alright, here's my situation
I am buying a Creative - Nomad Zen Jukebox Xtra - 60GB and want to buy a solid set of earphones.
by set I mean 1 pair of earbuds and 1 pair of earmuffs.
does anybody have any recommendations for the earmuffs? I want active noise cancelling if possible ( I think ) and have no idea what to look for.
HELP NEEDED!

When someone finally gives you a good suggestion, would you make sure the price isposted so I know what to get for myself? Heh.

I got sennheiser 590's and they kick ass. They're really comfortable and the sound quality is crystal clear. I hear grado has some really good headphones, but those things are so damned ugly.

Sony MDR-EX 71
Features:
* Earbud headphones are closed type to reduce outside noise * Neodymium magnets for high power and low weight * Soft, silicon earbuds are washable, removable and replaceable; two sizes of earbuds included * 9 mm driver units for powerful sound * PET diaphragm extends bass and frequency range
as for earmuffs, i have never owned any so i can't help you out there...
