Hello, so I'm buying a present for my friend that would be a pair of headphones. I'm looking for decent priced (up to 200$), balanced headphones. He mainly listnes to folklore, classical, sometimes rap, a bit of rock (not much though). So he isnt woompy boompy bass fan.
What kind of headphones would you recommend? The price of them should be around 160-200$. 
I thought about beyerdynamics dt770 250 ohm. But are there a bit cheaper options? Or better. Also good looking ones are welcomed.

You mean balanced sound signature, right?
 
Does he own any headphones?

Nope. I thought about AKG 242 HD

AKG K550 maybe. Not bassy, good sound stage for a closed headphone. I guess you want them to be transportable? The dt770 might be a bit bassy.
