Hi all,
 
I'm a PhD student in the UK and spend a huge amount of time working on my laptop in Libraries, noisy offices and coffee shops. I spend most of my time listening to a wide range of music from Jazz to Classical to Electronica. 
 
I've recently purchased a cambridge audio dacmagic xs and pair of AKG N60ncs. HOWEVER, whilst the AKGs are lovely I find them too tight to wear for long sessions. I'm trying to find a better alternative. Ideally I am looking for:
 
1) A pair of closed back over ear headphones around the £150 - 280 price range
2) That are actually portable - I've tried AKG K550s which were lovely but just too bulky to take around everyday. 
 
Can any of you help a newbie find the right headphones amongst the plethora of choices out there?!?
 
Thanks!

B&O H6 @£200 from John Lewis and Richer Sounds. Ideal for Jazz and Classical; not sure about Electronica.
 
Edit : just seen has been price matched by Amazon.

I bought my first closed-back just a few weeks ago. The Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Over-ear. I LOVE them!

They very recently dropped a hundred dollars all across the internet. You can find them everywhere now for $249.
