I wish you all the best with your medical needs. It's uplifting that you can see a benefit in the dialysis giving you listening time.
May I suggest a further requirement? That the phones are closed back. I am guessing that the medical facility may not place you on your own in a private room but you may be in a dialysis centre alongside other patients. If so then you won't want to disturb them with sound leakage. I might suggest IEMs but, for my part, I would find 3 hours of wearing them beyond my tolerance.
Some of the upper range Sony cans are both closed back and have good sound. They are also usually low impedence so could be driven directly from your portable player without the need for a portable headphone amp. The latter will be a requirement with many top quality phones.
