Noise-Canceling Headphones

[Hulk]

I currently own the Philips HN 110 Folding Noise-Canceling Headphones http://www.amazon.com/Philips-110-F...ESA0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1317054817&sr=8-1 and I'm looking to upgrade to a set that has better noise canceling. I am thinking about getting the Audio-Technica ATHANC7 http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technic...dphones/dp/B000OMKR8E/ref=pd_sim_e3headphones and would like some feedback on if there will be a huge difference between the two.

Have you ever tried passive noise blocking - in ear can type ?
They prove good noise isolation and good sound quality.
like these:

They are a bit tricky to fit right, but once you do - the sound they produce is pretty good

I have a set of Shure E3C earbuds and a set of Audio Technica ATH-M50 closed studio monitor headphones. The Shure earbuds cancel out sound fairly well. I use them mainly for exercising. They block out the sound of F16s on afterburners when I'm running next to the runway. On commerical aircraft, they work fairly well at blocking engine noise too. The ATH-M50s are great for use inside. They don't cancel out sound, but they do make listing to audio nice in a less than silent room. I also own a set of Bose QC15 and they blow the other 2 out of the water when it comes to noise cancelling. I have yet to use them on an aircraft, but they work well in a noisy room. I'm fairly certain they work by some sort of black magic.

$100-$210. I kind of like sennheiser pxc 450 too. I've read a lot of reviews and still can't make up my mind. Any idea what I should get?
