Looking for closed headphones for airplane since I travel a lot. Would these work well on airplanes? I would just be playing them from my phone. Should I get the 32ohm or 80ohm? What differences would I hear between the 2 options?

WeBeGrubbinumm.. sort of .. 32ohms probably.. but these are not ideal for airplanes they are big the cable is long ~10ft.. fixed, big bulky don't fold at all..
I love these headphones but they are really not suited for mobile use.... I personally generally use AudioTechnia ATH-M50X's on planes / travel .. similar sound not quite as comfortable but fold / collapse and detachable cable much better for travel. My 80 Ohms can't really be driven properly by my Galaxy S8 needs an amp to sound decent.

WeBeGrubbinI have the 250Ohm version and while it's a great headphone it does not isolate good enough for me to use on an airplane due to the velour pads. I tend to use either my M50x (pleather) or Etymotic IEMs on an airplane. Sometimes I'll even use the IEMs with the M50x as isolation if I'm listening to music and not just playing something on my Switch.
Haven't tried the 32Ohm or 80Ohm variants of the DT770s but I suspect, pending the phone, they would work just fine for an airplane.
I've read that the 80Ohms are better and similar to the 770s with higher impedance. Haven't heard anything other than the 250Ohm variant and it's my favorite closed back headphone.
