The issue with the ones he has (I have a pair which I barely use) are they break easily and his have, mine have survived because I do not use them.
Noise canceling you are going to pay a premium for, did some quick looking and most start at the top of your budget and many are not that great. Now if you go with an in-ear style you get a form of noise canceling but not everyone can do in-ear (I can only wear mine for an hour at most).
I would throw my suggestion towards Sennheiser for an all around good selection and quality. You could always buy some nice over the ear style headphones which will have a form of noise canceling but not hardware based (just the seal of the headphone against your head).
