AD700's

Px100s are great if she has any need for portability at all.

Otherwise, AD700 as previously mentioned.

I'd recommend a MS1 for a OPEN can. The SR60i are good too. But Bass is heavier on the SR60 which definitely excels on rock and alternative and I find that the MS1 just shines for most music genre.

For a CLOSED can, try the Denon D1001 and the JVS HA700 which I find both very nice sounding but the HA700 is quite big and might not appeal to you sister.

For bortable the PX series from sennheiser are very good in my opinion. They are foldable too. =)

Koss Porta pro is a good performer. Easy on the ears and non-fatiguing. Under $50.

There's a myriad of choices with a few being good all-rounder. Do you know if she will be using this for portable use? from her PC? She is more into fashion vs. looks? What kind of music does she tend to listen to? We might be able to narrow down the recommendations a little.

Hi there, she will mostly be using them out and about with an MP3 players and I am sure she is not the slightest bit worried what they look like. Her music tastes are more rock/guitar than dance/electronic but were talking Van Morrison rather than Metallica!

es7s for Van Morrison.

Rocker? No amp? $100 budget? Not-so-fashionista?

All those criteria screams "Grado!", and nothing else. Buy whatever you can afford for $100 (new or used, your personal preference), or get the cousin, Alessandro MS-1 (made by Grado) for $100 shipped worldwide.

Unless isolation is a must.
