I consider myself a budget audiophile. Home system is Hafler driving 3 way ADS810 speaks from the 80s. BOSE OnEar were a gift years ago. I find the sound is good but no mic and uncomfortable after about 1 hour. I listen to Jazz, R&B, Classical, and Live concerts.
 
Requirements:
 
Balanced sound with slight emphasis in Bass and slight roll-off in Treble. (I find drum cymbals typically recorded too hot).
 
Comfort and non sweat.
 
Decent Sound Isolation. (No need for active, BOSE OE were fine in this regard).
 
Microphone iPhone compatible
 
Hi sensitivity on par with BOSE OE (ie; I need to use these without an amp since I will be hiking/traveling with them)
 
< $200
 
 
 
Thanks!

Try looking at the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 for apple, I think they should fit all your requirements, and will sound better than your bose on ears.

I assume you are looking for closed here?

Yes I think closed would be better on airplanes, trains, and beach walks when windy
