IEM: Westone 2 would probably make you happy; Vsonic GR07 (not stellar isolation), Hifiman RE262 (needs a cheap amp), You might look at the Vsonic GR01, too thoug I have only read about it.
Portable: Beyer DT1350 is great for those genres, good isolation, but not super comfortale; its better comfort than the HD25. The P5 may not be bad though it has darker sound signature.

I'm looking for either IEM's or a portable headphone.
Will be using it on my iphone/macbook during studying (library/home) and travelling (train).
Most of the time, I'll be listening to jazz, classic and some soul.
Isolation and comfort are important factors because of where i'll be listening, let's not forget sound presentation and to be fairly honest... (if choosing a portable especially) design is a factor too.
So i'm thinking either b&w p5 or some IEM's. Can get the p5 for like €200 or could look for IEM's around €150 max. (Hifiman, Etymotic perhaps?)
I've tried some headphones, but unfortunately I can't try IEM's because of hygiene issues.
Any advice?
