Eeh Gods! There are a lot of headphones out there.

I have a pair of HD650s that I am using with a Topping DX7 Pro. No complaints with this setup at all.

But, my other half complains about the noise and, I sometimes want to be 'shut in' with the music and block extraneous sounds.

I'm looking for a closed back headphone around £200 (my main headphone will continue be the HD650) but is there anything out there worthwhile at this price?

Music tastes are varied, but mainly electronica, dub techno (Rhythm and Sound, Basic Channel big right now).

Music coming via Roon (so adding EQ is easy).

Recommendations?

K371 is a safe choice. It's tuned following the Harman Target. I don't love the build quality and comfort is just okay, but it's probably the least odd sounding closed back of the few that I've heard.
