Hi Peter,
Both models you mention are decent choices for good quality, reasonable price, 
and good isolation. I own and use both. I find that headphone preference is a 
very personal choice so I'd say you need to try them out at a minimum. In my 
personal experience:
Sony's:
(Couldn't find any specs on isolation)
Pros: More compact when folded
Cons: The on-ear design hurts the cartilage of my pinna with any extended use. 
I think they are slightly more hyped "smily curve EQ'd" than the Sennheisers 
(to my ears).
Sennheisers:
Product claim is up to 32 dB of ambient noise isolation
Pros: I think they are slightly more "flat" in response. I can wear them for 
hours without problems.
Cons: The over-ear design makes them slightly more bulky.
Good luck!
Mike
