Can you guys recommend some brands cause I have no idea who makes a good headphone

Currently Ive been looking at some of these

No headphones block out noise better than in-ear monitors, like Shure and Etymotic. They aren't for everyone, though.

I just recently bought a set of Klipsch S4's but I will return them, because of the horribly bloated midbass and recessed highs. I think my Sennheiser PX100s sound better.
 
As the previous poster stated, IEM is the way to go if block out sound is a priority. Not to mention, IEM's can have great sound at a lower price than compareable full sized headphones.

For the range you're looking at, you may look at these:

Review from Head-fi

Head-fi is the place to go when it comes to headphones and such, but I will warn you that reading that site will make you want to spend more money. Not that it's a bad thing, but you have been warned.

If you do venture over there I'll say it now, sorry for your wallet.

PS: My head-fi adventures took me from Ultimate Ear Super.fi Pro 5's --> Sleek Audio SA6 --> Sennheiser IE8's.
Is still own all of them, and I can tell you they were a MASSIVE increase in sound quality to anything I had tried in the sub $100 range. IE8's are perfect for me once fully burned in. I also own a pair of Audio Technica A900's which are very good as well. They are full sized headphones, but don't block out nearly as much sound as my IEM's.
 
Might help to be more specific about the noise. NCs, IEMs, and isolating circums are all good noise solutions...but are appropriate in different conditions.
