Don't get open-ear headphones. I received some nice entry-level ones (Grado SR60), and they sound wonderful - but background noise is a problem. The coffee shop-office strategy takes some experimentation to get right.

I find the Bose QC2/Audio-Technica ANC-7 headphones do a good job at reducing low-frequency noise disturbances (e.g. train noise) but don't really do much with random background conversation chatter.
