Over ear, cup type preferably, and less likely on the move, more in a room relaxing situation

I have tried the QC3s and the sound is phenomenal even from an ipod its way clearer, i guess they don't have to be noise cancelling, the selection i tried in the stores were and i set my precedent from that - i have a few sets but mostly entry level phones inc Sennheiser HDR120s. Just want a really good set as the difference in the apple store, bose store etc is amazing

On my quest to buy a decent set i'm also warned that noise cancelling technology is just as bad for your ears as loud music, is this true? They say the noise is converted to a frequency you just can't hear as opposed to filtered out some way. This takes me back to the "energy cannot be created or destroyed" crap from school. Does anyone know?

Nothing i have tried in a reasonable price bracket comes close to the QCs
