Sound Isolating Earphones Needed

My Shure E2C's have finally packed up and so I need some new earphones, however in looking around it appears that since the E2C's were released there has been one crucial, and in my opinion, utterly stupid change that has been adapted by almost all manufacturers. Remember back in the days of the original walkman how you constantly had to buy new headphones or even a new walkman all because headphones always came with a straight jack which was so easily bent whenever you bent over or even coughed hard? Do you then remember how some clever sod said "hang on, if we bend the jack into a right angle then it is shorter, stronger and won't be easily bent"? Well for some reason everybody now thinks that straight jacks are the way forward again


Okay, imagine that money was no object (I now accept that I will have to pay a princely sum for what I want, if it even exists, but would prefer to keep it at around the £60 if possible) what earphones would you buy that fit the following:

1. Must be Sound/Noise Isolating
2. Must have a right angle mini jack connector (this is essential as it's the only way I can plug this into my PSP and put it on it's stand in order to watch films on the train)
3. Must be good sound quality, at least as good as my old Shure E2C's

I just can't seem to find any sound isolating earphones that have a right angle jack and that sound good!
