Not so, most high quality closed back headphones will block outside noise sufficiantly better than canalphones.
The pair I have at present (Sennheiser HD-270) are a little too efficient at blocking outside noise, that I can't hear people sneaking up from behind me or the rather loud humm of my broken video card fan.
