I like Beyer headphones and own 7 of them.
But you might consider checking out Audio Technica headphones,
They offers models that are only 40-Ohms, so easier to drive then the Beyer's your looking at.
So getting an external headphone amplifier is more optional.
Maybe the ATH-AD900X? ($145 at Amazon).
If you're going to recommend something to him like the AD900x, I'd say something like teh Sennheiser HD558 or HD598, in the same general price-range, would be a better choice. About as easy to drive, but arguably far better sounding, in my opinion. Significantly less distortion and ringing in the measurements, for one thing.
