    The Samsonite Urbanite and Kensington Contour are worth considering.

    For headphones, I'd suggest the Sennheisser HD 280.

    Usually highly regarded portable headphones are-
    Grado SR-60, Sennheiser PX100, Koss Porta Pro, AKF K24/26P

    If you want a bigger, sealed cans, I'd recommend ATH-A500 over Sen HD280. :)

    Sony headphones are decent, not as good as they used to (much like other their HiFi products), but they can be good depending on what model you are getting and at what price you are getting them.
