Another vote for the AKG Y50BTBLK - if BT isn't your thing, just plug the cable in & Bob's your mother's brother.

Amazing sound quality for the money, comfy & fold up fairly compact too. Also, no background 'hiss' when used on BT unlike others I tried so best of both worlds (so to speak).

Minor point - OP wants his headphones for travelling - so listening through a portable device, which ime are volume limited? Therefore, I retract my recommendation of Audio Technica studio monitor headphones. Perfect as they are for hi-fidelity listening, they aren't brilliant through the portables. 😀

I used them on my phone, DezB. Plenty loud enough, great sound.

Thanks again guys. I remember I tried a few phones against my HD25 SP II's and didn't hear a significant difference (Momentums and FOCALs IIRC).

Is anyone knowledgeable enough to comment? I don't have cloth ears, maybe my phone sounds crap? I had a decidated music player but lost it...
