I'm looking for a headphone comparable to Sennheiser HD650 or HD700 but closed not open.

Preferably Sennheiser but if not, a brand that is available in Europe.

I see Sennheiser HD 630VB is closed but does it cover all your ears and go around it? I want the fit to be like HD650/HD700.

It's hard find closed headphones that have comparable comfort to the HD650 and 700. The 700 are easily my most comfortable headphones, and pretty much get all the listening time.

See if you can find an older Sennheiser HD250 Linear (first or second version in good condition). These are from the 1980s, and can take pad replacements to make them more comfortable. Sound wise, they are like the 650 except with more linear treble and extended bass. These take some serious power though.

Modern headphones that I've enjoyed for comfort Denon AH-D600, Denon AH-D2000 (quite comfy with a lot of room in the pads), Shure SRH-1540. New Denon AH-D7200 may also be good in this respect. Neither of these are very demanding on power requirements.

Not sure of your budget, music tastes, and what you have for equipment.

The budget is the same as for a Sennheiser HD650 or HD700. It has to be comfortable like those.

I just did a search and Sennheiser has a closed one, how is this? Sennheiser HD 569.
