I've kinda stopped consuming music when travelling, but I personally prefer large headsets that enclose the ear completely. Closed ones in non-silent environment so you don't crank the volume up too much. A bit clunky even if foldable of course... I used some from Ultrasone, not the best quality, but decent. I think personal taste and musical style kinda means that you have to test them in a store to make up your mind.
Hmm, regarding large over-the-ear ones, about a year or two ago I made the mistake of shelling out for one of Sony's "PlayStation Gold" headsets. Was initially thrilled with it (except they look hideous while they're being worn - like any Sony headset really), but then as with most other people who got them, it didn't take too long before I hit the infamous problem of its cheap plastic (on a $100 pair??? That's Sony I guess) cracking and breaking. :/
I guess you could ask at the https://www.head-fi.org/ forums, but not sure if that site is good anymore? It was a useful resource a decade ago, but seems to be rammed down with awful ads now? Unbearable.
Thanks, I'll take a look.
Btw people say that one should keep new headset playing some heavy bass for 10? hours after purchasing before evaluating them, something about the coils needing to be run in. Well, they are mechanical so I guess that makes sense (tightening, friction or something). Maybe different for cans without coils...
Interesting, first I've heard that. Good to know.
