Hey GAF,

So recently just decided I want to get a pair of portable headphones for convenience when I don't want to constantly remove my IE80s from my ear when I have to talk to someone.
Hoping to buy a pair off Amazon UK in the next day or so.

Budget: USD $400; I am looking for audiophile grade portable headphones

What I am Looking for:
- A "fun" sound similar to that of the Sennheiser IE80s that have deep strong and clean bass that is worth for EDM and Rock/Indie/Pop; I believe it has a v-shaped curve
- Portable
- UNSURE if I want over-ear or on-ear - Want your opinion on this!
- UNSURE if I should go for noise cancelling ones which might be helpful when I'm travelling on a plane; But I guess I can just turn up the headphones - Want your opinion on this!
- Headphones must be able to play directly from my iPhone 6 or iPad without the need for amplification

I don't have many ideas at the moment but this comes to mind: Audio-Technica ATH-M50

Beats by Dre is obviously NO GO.

Unsure about Bose, happy to go for Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic, but open to all brands that give me what I am looking for.

Appreciate all the help and opinions!

Thanks a million!

Would the VModa M-100 fit what your looking for? Although it is very much a bass head phone.

Come to the headphone thread so we can have a real back and forth.
