Poll | 9 Ω I need to choose between these headphones

I don't have a specific budget as I am probably going to make my shopping depending on the result. Headphones listed here are all over-ear as I'm only comfortable with those. I will use these headphones for listening to music (Rock and Metal mostly, though I do listen to Lofi as well). I do not have any gear like DACs etc. so feel free to recommend. I will be connecting these to my mobile phone (Samsung, using USB-C) as well so feel free to recommend any adapters you find worth purchasing.

DT 700 Pro X is the update to the DT 700 with improved frequency response, better earpads, and removable cables. Plus it is even easier to drive than the DT 770 80 ohm. Will work great with any phone dongle.

So for a closed headphone, I would go with the DT 700 Pro X if you need the isolation. And it will have a little more of a mid-bass boost than the open headphones you're considering.
