I am looking for sound isolating headphones for commuting. As I am quite a small person the headphones shouldn't be too big, sound neutral and warm (no bass boosts) and be under 100 (£€$). Ideally the price would be around 50(£€$),
include a mic cable and be foldable.

I mostly listen to classical music, especially Arvo Pärt so noice isolation is a big must.

I am very new to this audiophile world and looking for something to replace my basic Apple earpods.

Thanks a lot!

Audio Technica ATH-M40x.

Haven't tried them myself, so take this recommendation with a pinch of salt. I've heard good things, though. Some folk find them a lot smoother and more natural-sounding than either the M50x or M70x.

This is a very interesting review:
