The best of the best headphones for noise canceling and listening to music?

Does anyone know what the best of the best headphones there are for both noise canceling and for listening to music all at once? So far, I came across these:

Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones.

Bose QuietComfort 3.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

What are you going to use them for? Because unless the noise is a simple pattern that the active noise cancellation can cancel out easily, it's better to get noise isolating in ear monitors.
