Hi, I need some advice.

I am looking at getting some new high grade headphones. I want to use them while travelling, but I already have active noise cancelling headphones so I want these new ones to have good passive noise isolation.

I bought the M50x for this purpose, but it turns out I absolutely HATE their sound signature, it has a very V shaped signature and a very narrow sound stage. I also have the hyerx clouds that I use while gaming as well as for music listening, and I like those a lot.

So my requirements are:
-Good passive noise isolation
-Wide sound-stage (dose not need to be huge, but definitely wider than the m50x)
-Comfortable for long listens

Would be nice to have:
-removable cable
-foldable design

So far I have come across this article comparing a bunch of headphones with the M50x: https://medium.com/@Xander51/headphone-showdown-audio-technica-m50x-vs-everything-2464e5272ac0

So right now I am thinking about the Pioneer DJ HRM-5, Pioneer DJ HRM-6, or the HyperX Cloud Alpha.

Can anyone give me insight into these headphones or give me some alternatives? Thanks!

You should go with the Bose QuietComfort 35. To my knowledge, they have the best noise canceling (and noise isolation) of any pair of headphones. I own a pair, and I tend to wear them for 4-8 hours straight. They are extremely comfortable, the sound quality is great, and the noise canceling and isolation is phenomenal. Somebody could be standing directly next to me speaking in a normal voice and I would not be able to hear a thing they're saying. Even without anything playing, you can barely hear anything. The only real downside is that they are $350, but they last forever. They feel extremely well built and durable, and they're wireless and folding. Highly recommend, good luck with whatever you buy!

I know the QC 35 is good, but I want to get a non-active noise cancelling headphone. My issue with active noise cancelling is that essentially the better it is, the more of your music it will snuff out, thats just how sound works. So I want a closed back headphone that is good a just blocking out most of the sound on the outside.
