I'd recommend checking out the Campfire Audio Cascade... excellent isolation, folds up into a smaller case nicely, and bass, clarity, and dynamics that excel beyond a TH-X00. Sound great from most anything you plug them into as well, not picky at all or hard to drive. They do have a weird, not so good imaging issue with the middle 1/3 width of their soundstage and are horrible at gaming because of it and the slightly more intimate soundstage than a TH-X00. Pads are nice and comfortable for their weird slotted shape though, very deep. Not inexpensive though... If they were less expensive I would probably get them.

Second one I like is my B&O H7... wireless with great sound quality and good enough isolation. Have it paired with my Shanling M0 DAP and enjoying it via aptX bluetooth right now. An on ear but slightly better in comfort than the 1-More Triple Over Ears to me. Discontinued, the H9i would be their replacement.

Either one is nice soundwise if you enjoy the TH-X00 series headphones.

VRacer111The Cascade is definitely on my short list. They're constantly in and out of stock so I'm on the waiting list for a pair.
I'll look into the B&O as well. I have never heard anything from this company so maybe that could work as a change-up.
Kudos for the suggestions.

jaydunndidditI had not heard much of the B&Os either, but was offered them as a trade for a JDS Labs EL DAC I was selling. Looked up information on them and decided to go ahead with the trade offer to try them out.
VRacer111Off topic but how do you like your Shanling M0... was looking at it as a way to test LDAC functionality as I've lost hope that my V20 will get the Oreo update any time soon. First phone to ship with Nougat and still no Oreo update on Verizon.

ElectronicVicesI do like it quite a bit. Great for portability, and prefer it to the Audioquest Dragonfly Red when used with my modded Gustard H10 amp. The B&O H7s sound IMPRESSIVELY great from it, and that's just via aptX. Will have the Audeze Mobius coming in soon, which is one of the reasons I picked up the M0 - for LDAC comparison to lower rate codecs. Yeah, I was hoping my TAB S2 would have an upgrade to Oreo, but that's not going to happen from what I've been reading. M0 also works great for car audio via bluetooth... just have to control volume via the M0 though.
VRacer111No need for Shanling in my car, I use Android Auto from my V20. I use the MDR-1000X (with LDAC capability) but the newer releases with both LDAC and AptXHD are appealing as the V20 (at the moment) only supports AptxHD
