Need a closed headphone for hotel room/backstage/anywhere - mixing/mastering.

Currently using HE1000v2 (with a smidge of eq).

between IEF neutral curve to Harmon. Just no big bumps or holes. Linear. Nice to listen to. Good isolation.

Appreciate your input and suggestions.

æon 2 noire as it is portable and follows the Harman curve.
Very comfortable for most and they provide good isolation.

I think the VCs aren't super portable and have a little bit of color to their tone which is amazing for listening but maybe not for mixing. Focals like a Stellia are a little bit more internal and come with a carrying case

Have only used orig Aeon, but +1 for isolation & comfort- maybe under dt150 as one of the better over-ear headphones for passive isolation.
Portability-wise, I think it needs an amp, but YMMV.

appreciate the replies.
No need to worry about portability. Plenty of room in the suitcase as I spend all my money on guitars and gear so I don't actually have clothes to put in the suitcase!

What are you using to drive them? Probably would want an amp for any planar or ZMFs.

Amp TBD depending on which phone.
But certainly appreciate any suggestions on portable amp/dac + headphone combos!
