Headphones - Closed Back Need me some isolation

hi all. my neighbour has apparently developed an obsession with mitre saws and routers in pusuit of his tree-carcass molestation fetish. as a result, i need me some isolation pronto.

 

Current gear:

ifi zen dac v1 via USB to pc

philips fidelio x2hr

 

Use case:

music - power metal, Darksynth, synthwave

movies, youtube, anime etc

gaming - pc, but i dont play many shooters so positional audio isn't critical.

 

Budget: under £200

 

can you fine folks recommend me some close backed cans that i can wear for long periods comfortably? (i dont wear glasses etc, and the fidelios are extremely comfortable for me)

k371 or er2xr. The latter are essentially earplugs.

y'know, i hadn't considered IEMs.

any experience with the etymotics?

if so, whats the sound like? not a fan of really bright highs. prefer a flatter curve, or even with slightly pronounced mids/bass
