Noise isolation usually refers to headphones that have physical sound barriers that isolate your ear from outside noise. The barriers are things like the earpads on circumaural headphones, or the silicon/foam tips on IEMs.
Noise cancellation involves the headphone emitting a frequency that will cause destructive interference with the frequency of any consistent ambient noise (bus/plane/train engine, crowds, etc.) and thus "cancel" the ambient noise.

Equipment . Overpriced to shit. And as mentioned earlier,
http://www.head-fi.org is a great resource for headphones.
