I want to buy my brother in law a pair of headphones to go with his new Sony Discman. He listens to mostly pop/rock. He will plug the phones directly into the Discman. I'd like to get him something that sounds good, but looks good too, so he won't have any real reason to wince, even if he does appreciate the gift, anyway. Probably would be best if they are not big fat cans full size over his ear.
I've considered Grado's, but I personally think they are a little ugly, even though that wouldn't stop me from buying a pair for myself. I think the AKG 26P/27i or Senn PX100 are a little better looking. Might consider the Koss PortaPro on reputation alone, even though I think those are ugly.
I suppose their are 20 other models I could consider, but I need to narrow down recommendations asap.
What's da bomb for $50 or $60? I'd like to buy something on Monday.
