Headphones for a noisy household


Looking for a music solution for a noisy open design home. What DAC and headphones would you recommend for use with Sansung S22 running Qobuz? I have Sennheiser HD 560S running through an IFI Zen Dac V2 streaming via laptop but am looking for something more portable and that blocks out some of the external noise such as tv. I haven't set a budget for this but this will not be a main source of listening.

I’d go with a Fiio BTR7 and an Etymotic ER4 XR.  

I have a S22 with Qobuz and the aforementioned setup.  The Etys aren’t noise cancelling but work well in cutting out outside noises.  Any other IEM will work as well.

And if IEMs aren’t your thing the BTR7 can drive just about any headphone.  Just make sure the cans are closed back models.

Good luck.
