About five years ago, I picked up a pair of M80s, and I love them. They're not super comfortable, but had fantastic sound and rock solid build.

Unfortunately, just a few days ago the right earpad bust, and, ultimately, I've decided I want to replace them with larger, more comfortable headphones now.

Basically, I'm looking for some great headphones for portable use. I've got a preference for over ears for comfort and sound quality, I cannot use IEMs due to my ears.
I'd like to get some easily driven cans to avoid reliance on an external solution, and just use my Galaxy S8, although I'm still likely to pick up some form of portable amp later.
Sound wise, I am fond of a slightly warmer sound. I like strong bass, listening to a wide variety of rock, hip hop, electronica, practically everything. I'm a huge fan of my HD650s sound at home, which has me leaning a little to the Momentum IIs - I know it's a little much to ask from a portable pair, but an approximation would be wonderful.

My budget is between £200 and £300, although if there's something great out there for more, I'm definitely interested.
Right now, I've sort of considered the Meze 99 Classics, Momentum IIs, B&O H6s, B&W P7s, and, of course, the M100s.

Any advice welcome!
