Need help for next hp purchase

[PG21]

So I'm going to college next fall and I'm looking for a headphone to use in my dorm. Currently I use my HD555/DT770 at home, but I need something that I can bring to my dorm and back fairly easily (going home on some weekends). My EX85's got stolen last week(could be a good thing or not), and just been using my PX100's.

Most of my music consists of Rap/Hip-Hop but heres the thing. As much as I love my DT770's for it I'm beginning to realize I really want something with upfront vocals. This is why I've been using my HD555 more lately. By doing so I've also come to realize that I hate sibiliance, which the dt770 has

Although I want something that is somewhat portable with more upfront mids. Bass and treble, well something that's still punchy yet still has some detail to it, but with little to no sibilance. It will be powered from the sources on my sig, but will sound even better when I buy a portable amp (thinking ibasso d2/3). Closed or open don't really matter, not looking for an iem if I ever wanted to use one I'd use my clunky 4 yr old sibilance heavy ex51's.

Price range is around $100-150, will be thinking about what to get for the next couple of months. Still trying to get a good idea of what to get. Thanks

FWIR, the HD25-1 II would be good for dorm use, if you can find them in your price range. Otherwise, I suggest considering IEMs.

I would say the HD25-1's as well. but look at the AKG K81dj headphones...oh, or the Audio Technica AT-ES7, but wach out for the many fake ES7's
