I would like some headphones that are good quality but look good too.
No Beats please, everyone has them, I want something unique and more unheard of .
No Sony, Bose, Etc.. They aren't unique.
Thank you so much!

Well, ignoring the other answers entirely, I can name one brand that will suit your needs.
Grado
Here are some key points...
- They're definitely unique looking, kind retro.
- They're hand-built in New York. (Very few audio brands can say that anymore)
- They're well renown by audiophiles around the world, but almost unknown by the general public.
- Also, their sound completely blows away Bose and Beats, and 99% of other headphones out there.
They start at $70 and work their way up from there. Even their $70 pair sounds better than everything Bose and Beats make... period. Going up from their just gets better and better.
If you are just using an IPod, I would recommend the cheapest $70 pair of Grado SR60i headphones. This is because they're easier for an Ipod's weak amplifier to drive. If you want to get Grado's better headphones, I would highly recommend a headphone amplifier with that. Otherwise you won't be getting the best out of those headphones.
If you decide not to go with Grado, AKG would be my second runner up on the unique scale. Audio Technica would be my second runner up on the sound scale.
Whatever you do, avoid Bose and Beats. Which you are already doing because everyone has them. It seems that these days, everyone is deaf. Beats sound nothing more than mediocre...
Good luck

I'm looking for the best deal for high quality noise canceling headphones, any suggestions?
Answer
How much are you willing to spend? What style? Over the ear? On the ear?
There are many options, Sennheiser makes great headphones for a reasonable price along with Sony or AKGs. I personally picked up Beats by Dr. Dre because I loved how they felt on my head and the sound is quite frankly amazing. Maybe not the best in the price range but damn do you look good. The noise reduction on the Beats Studio have a sorta gimmicky noise reduction system but it does work fairly well.
