    i spend alot of time in hospital so minimal sound leakage is important

    A reasonable pair of portable headphones will be well within your budget there. Check out AKG K450s. Got a pair myself a while back & they're great for out & about. The sound leakage is very low at moderate volumes. You'll see various prices for them online but you should get them for < €90 or so.

    Amazon won't ship them that's strange

    You could get them on eBay (as I did) but be careful of fakes.

    Might be worth stretching it for these.

    (Have the lou Reed version)

    Well worth the cash, normally above the 200 mark.

    I did a bit of research and went for Sol Republic HD headphones.
    Liked the detachable cans and the way the headband is interchangeable.
    Was genuinely blown away by the sound quality.
    In comparison to beats solo they do sound better and are lighter on the head. I'd definitely recommend them and at around 80 euro, value for money is excellent too.
