Can you provide us with more details of how foldable it is? There are different designs, not to mention sizes & price range you are looking for. It would help narrow our recommendations. Helpful also is if you can show us what the Wecan looks like, a link perhaps.

wat's the diff btw PXC 250 and PX200?

 

and how much huh?

PX200 is closed, sound isolation isn't that good though, have some but less.

PXC250 is active noise cancelling, meaning there is a mic somewhere near the cups, which picks up ambient noise and sends a similar but inverse signal to the cans, causing the ambient noise to cancel out with the singnal sent by the mic. Battery is required to run active noise cancelling.

how much I'm not so sure. Somewhere around 100SGD....

hmm some reviewers say V6 is not 7506...

BTW, what is your use for those cans? Why do you prefer closed backs and what is your budget?

In that same review, a link to head-fi was given, with some evidence that the V6's and 7506's are in fact the same. Anyway many have come to accept that they are indeed almost identical as well.

The PX200's are getting lotsa attention on head-fi suddenly, so maybe they are a great pair of foldable closed cans to try?

In the absence of any further details I second the Senn PX100(open)/200(closed) recommendation. Both are foldable & sounds good for sub SG$100. If you don't mind clip ons, Koss KSC-50/55 or 35 (if you can find anyone selling) sounds better & cheaper.
