Recommend Good Headphones for Traveling

I'm going to Europe for the first time in some years and looking for a rec on good compact traveling headphones. Something compact, I have a pair of Beyer-Dynamics that are just too big, and hopefully not very expensive. In the process of saving for new speakers and I don't travel a ton so the cheaper the better. Thinking ear buds would be just too uncomfortable for an 8 hour flight. Thanks in advance for your help!

Master & Dynamic MH-40

The great reviews did not meet my personal audition surprise.
I already had the BEYERDYMICs that are superb, and these bested them....impressed enough to buy them 

The very top-shelf build quality that dwarfs the contenders and pretenders 

They also have a high-end inner ear monitor for the earbud crowd.

highly recommended

I am sure the M&D MH-40 are good but they are just as big as my Beyers I was looking for something more compact.

Compact ?..... That is what the Master & Dynamic ME05 inner ear earphone/ monitors provide: These are NOT your common-place crap POS build earbuds

Hello jond -
If you haven’t visited it, check out the "Absolute Best Budget Earbuds" thread on HeadFi.org.  See link here:

https://www.head-fi.org/f/threads/absolute-best-budget-earbuds.812853/

AND if you can get past the price (and if there is sufficient time before you travel) order some of these from FastTech (or somewhere closer if you can)...

Philips SHE3800
