Over-ear headphones that are easy to drive?

ZMF Fanboy. He wants them for travel/holidays. I used to use the GRADO RS-1e with Beautiful Audio pads. Not a bad choice.

Now my go-to is the Audeze LCDi4, but that’s not over the ear.

But for travel, I like to keep it versatile and easy. I’d say Apple AirPods Max (Not my idea, but @Torq likes them) or the Sennheiser Momentum. Good sound app, can run wired or wireless. Closed back for light isolation, ANC for better. Can shut out all kinds of annoying crap, and not so expensive that you’ll be freaked if the airlines lose your bag and they’re in it.
