The Pioneer HDJ headphones (http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-HDJ-2000-Reference-Professiona...) rock, as well as the less pricey Audio Technica ATH M50s (http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50-Professional-Mo...).
I recently bought Audio-Technica ATH-M50 studio headphones. Highly recommend! Even with the music turned way down, I barely hear other people talking. If I don't need to be in hyper concentration mode, I use regular head phones. Amazon link to the Audio-Technica studio headphones--> http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50-Professional-Mo...
It's really more helpful if you give a budget, but I think you'll find very few people who wouldn't recommend the ATH-M50. From what I've owned, nothing hits the price:performance ratio as sweetly, and it is great-sounding no matter what genre I throw at it.
They are closed-back, so the soundscape is limited, but still great. I wear them on planes and they passively cancel noise well.

I use the Audio Technica ATH-M50[1]
I have a pair of noise isolating earbuds but you have to hit over the head to get my attention if I have the music above a whisper when I wear them
The M50's are over ear and seal very well so if you are listening at a reasonable volume you can't hear any office noise or people talking unless they are right next to you.
It's a nice balance between complete isolation and people being able to get your attention without waving something in front of you.
They sound great too.
If you're looking for noise isolating then the Etymotic Research HF5's[2] are great. They are earbuds that sound amazing and easily portable.
Both come with appropriate carrying cases.
