Will be using it for commute and work.

Should be efficient but would also scale well when used with an amp.

I know soundstage and closed back is almost like an oxymoron, but it should at least have decent soundstage and not unnatural soundstage.

I like neutral or near neutral, balanced sound. Little to no coloration.

I prefer neutral as I listen to alot of genres.

I understand portable headphones are somewhat of a dying breed because of wireless headphones being an optimal solution. I have an mdr 1000x and planning to buy a tws iem too. I just want something analog.

Focal Spirit Pro has been my all time favorite FLAT headphone. Durable, solid quality, under 300 bucks.

@Invalid,

Not the most isolating headphone in the world but I suggest looking into the Sony 1AM2.
These should fit your requirements.

As a final side note, portable headphones aren't necessarily a dying breed, they just become less common due to TWS IEMs.

Hope you have a great day !
