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.

One route would be some nice closed-back headphones and a portable amp/DAC like these…

As others mentioned you could go the wireless, noise cancelling route, and I’ll throw in these Sony headphones that are generally highly regarded for both sound and noise cancelling capabilities…

Hope this helps, and best of luck.
