Hi all.
 
First post here. I noticed that a lot of people are active here, so I hope you can give me some advise
 
At the moment I have a pair of Sennheiser 202HDs
 
My biggest problem with them is, that tey can't be folded for easy transportation. I had before this The Bose on ear, which were much more easier to take with me and when not in useput them in the protective case
 
What you should know about me
 
- I do not like in ears. Just hate something jammed in my ear.
- I don't care if you suggest on ear like the B and W P5 or around ear like my current senns. No monster beats please
- Must be comfortable, I wear them around 2 hours a day when commuting, longer when on vacation or travelling (6-8 hours single trip) to friends and fam.
- Most of the time I listen to trance and other electronic music styles
- Must be closed back due to the fact I don't want to disturbe my fellow pessengers on the train
- Isolation, Isolation, sometimes al these talking people making me crazy, and yes I know NC cans can't take them away 100%
- Budget +/- €349
- I wear glasses
 
I have also looked for noise cancelling headphones like the Audio Techica ath NC 7B or the Bose QC 15 but can't find a store were I can listen 
 
The only experience I have are the B and W P5 and the monster beats Solo HD.
 
Didn't like the monsters, but only listened about 5 min each
 
The models I am curious about are.
 
- Audiotechnica ES55
- Audiotechnica ES7
- V moda M80
- B and W P5
-Bose QC 15
-Audiotechnica NC 7B
 
I know Bose hasn't got a good name here, but please be honest.

I don't have any first hand experience with them, But,senheiser HD 25's and Beyerdynamic DT 1350's are definitely two headphones you should consider. I don't have any advice to give, but those are definitely alternatives to the m-80 style of portable.
