Looking for a comfortable pair of closed headphones or IEM's for under $150 for flights.

The EarPods that come with the iPhone are ok, but uncomfortable for me. I typically use open Sennheisers, and value soundstage and warm sounds.

The beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 32 Ohm headphones look like a perfect option, but would like to get to a price point closer to $100 for something I'm only going to use once in a while.

thanks!

I'm kind of digging the 1more Triple Driver over ear for that, although it's a little over that price point. It sounds great, and isolates surprisingly well. I got mine with a promotional discount, not sure if it's still going.

Good soundstage in a cheap closed-back is unlikely. As for warm, I have good experiences with the PSB M4U1 on international flights, it isolates well, and you can get an ANC version if you want. Should be cheaper now that the m4u8 is out. For the $100 I'd hit the used market.

I have the 770 32 ohm and they have a very good soundtage. One of the best of any closed back it is said, though I haven’t made comparisons. They aren’t warm though. They are extended in the bass and treble, which combine to make a somewhat neutral sound.

Sennheiser HD4.30G is a safe choice with your stated sound preferences:

or if you don’t care about a detachable cable, get the HD4.20S and pocket an extra $30:

Not particularly warm but worth reading about anyway are the iBasso IT01. Really sound good. Maybe read about them and see what you think. They might conceivably work.
