Just to follow up on that: I recently bought the HD280s, and I love
them. Sound quality is great, and while I mainly use them for
monitoring/composing applications in my living room - where it isn't
always quiet, one could say - I imagine they would be great in the
field, too.

They fit my head very nicely, and I can wear them for a long time
before "head squeeze fatigue" sets in. And they're rather cheap now
($90 at B&H, I think).

Noise reduction is significant.
