as I am travelling a lot and decided that my 10h train drive to the factory for engineering is my better way to travel.

Dear fellow audio nuts.
I am searching for a headphone closed back, perhaps wireless perhaps not ( have a fiio btr7, btr1, moonriver 2 and 220-powered headphone amp I can plug in on the train and in the hotel. I like a warm-sounding headphone with nice full bass without losing detail and a good build, do not mind doing some eq.
so far i am looking at , hifiman he-r9,audeze maxwell , audeze lcd-2 closed .
have a smal preferenace for planar . rest of all my headphones are open so.

greetings from Belgium and have a nice day

I've tried wired headphones for travel and they're a lot more bulky than IEMs. The Bower & Wilkins PX7 Carbon are excellent with super fast charging and auto on off feature. The Bose Quietcomfort 45 doesn't disappoint for comfort.
The Sennheiser Momentum 2 or 3 from the Sennheiser store gives a 10 percent discount if you sign up for the newsletter and 2 year warranty from them. My daily driver is the Simgot EA500 and I would never sell them, with Dunu S&S tips they don't need EQ and epic value. For the business I've had the chance to try 200+ headphones and IEMs and ear buds, and those are my keeper set.

If you do not mind planar open-back IEMs for the hotel, then consider getting the Audeze LCD-i3 and pairing that with some closed-back Active-Noise-Cancelling over-ears for the train to watch several movies/docs or get some decent sleep, like the Sennheiser Momentum 4.

I travel with Audeze Maxwell, Monarch MKII and an A&K KANN Max.

Unbelievable pairing.

My B&W PX8 are my choice for travel. The noise cancelling is there when you want/need it.
Love mine.
