Spouse watches TV. I listen to music. She won't close caption. I use

drown out TV and other noise?

I'd go for Beyerdynamic DT880, although to maximize what this
'closed' (and
fully-cover-the-ear) phones can do you'll need to use a (small as a
lighter, even) battery run headphone
amplifier. I like the ones athttp://www.fixup.net/products/index.htm....
both phones + amp together are a
lot of dough, but I don't think you'll ever look back (and you'll
forget completely about the TV!)

Wide price variance on the amps. Do I need to go all the way?

I think the middle one should be adequate, and for that matter there
is some indeterminate delay in delivering the reference model in a
timely way.
