Openbacks are definitely the better choice for sound quality. However, you mentioned something for work use too. If you mean in an office environment with people around you, full openback cans might not be appropriate because of the sound leakage. I have the AKG K240s and they are semi-open back. That might be a good compromise because they don't leak as much as long as you listen at a reasonable volume, and they're around $70.
