Hi all,
 
I already have some excellent headphones for home use, the Denon AH-D2000, but I'm looking for something smaller, foldable, easy to carry and I prefer closed, so I don't bother others.
I've listened to Sony MDR-V55, which are pretty good for the price, I also looked into AKG K451 which get good reviews, but I can't find them anywhere in Copenhagen, I would prefer to listen to them first.
 
Do you have any other suggestions?
 
Price around 100-150 Euro
Source iPod Touch 4G (lossless)
Music preferences, mostly pop, some jazz and some classical, the sound of the AH-D2000 in a portable form would be perfect
 
Thanks a lot...

Ultrasones or M50 may be good for you. Mind stating your music preferences?

Thanks, just updated my post.

I will check out the Ultrasone DJ1 Pro, seems to get good reviews, and I found a store that has them close to where I live.

The ultimate folding phones are the PX series...

Not what you're looking for I'd wager.

Porta pro's? I've seen people put closed earpads on 'em.

Sounds like you're looking for a compact portable.  This will probably help:  http://www.head-fi.org/t/614729/compact-portable-headphone-roundup-16-phones-including-portapro-px-100-ii-v-jays-tracks-k430-and-more

Don't know how small you need them to fold. I love my AT ESW10JPN. They fold flat. There are several AudioTechnica models at several price points with similar folding, closed, on ear frames.

Not really, since I need them to be closed.

I tried those, way to dark sounding for my taste, and I do believe those are not within my budget.

The PX 200s are closed! And they're pretty good.

I heard the B&W P3 the other day, design and build quality is great, but the sound way too dark, what are they thinking? If I remove the pads the sound improves and treble returns, but that's not a good solution. The P5 sound much better, but they are too expensive and not foldable.

Noontec Zoro is a nice price conscious choice the build is a bit on the cheap side but it's weakest link the replacable cable can be be switched with a Vmoda iphone compatible cable for $20.

Vmoda M80 is another good choice, it more money but built like a tank as well as sounding very good. The signature is more mid centric though with slightly rolled of treble.

InCase has a model that is on ear (not supposed to be to good) and a model that is over ear that is supposed to sound a lot nicer. The over ear model is also supposed to be very comfortable and still portable.

See if you can find the Sony MDR-V6s. For the price, they are hard to beat, and very portable once folded up.
