M-50, K-271MKll GMP 8.35 D Monitor for close hps.
K-702, HD600 for open hps. With both hps you'll need some amp.

I am looking at the ESW9's and I don't think she'll like the wood design. Shes 16, shes girly :S Her skullcandies are like sparkly lol.. She once told me she hates closed headphones because they were so big, but when I finally got my M50's I think she learned to apreciate them.. They look expensive aswell lol, and are they easy to drive?

Yeah the M50s are pretty easy to drive, they sound good from my macbook and zune without any amp.

Just remember, you are probably getting a counterfeit ESW9 unless it is from an authorized dealer who guarantees authenticity, audio technica stuff is counterfeited a lot. Since she has experience with a variety of instruments, I think she might have a preference for headphones that can do a variety of instruments without coloration.

How do I check for authentication once I have the headphones? Now I want to check if my M50's are real :S Lol!

First, find out if your seller is an authorized dealer. If not from an authorized dealer, compare the exterior of your headphones very closely to pictures of m50's online. Then if you're still unsure, take it apart and compare it to pictures of the insides of genuine m50's. I found no reference to counterfeit m50's after a brief google search, coupled with the fact that you think it sounds good, it's unlikely you have fake m50's. There are certainly fake esw9's. Audio-technica and sony have many of their headphones counterfeited.

Have you looked at the Shure line? SRH440, 840 and 750DJ? I own the 840, easy to drive but little bulky. 440 might be something you are interested.

Well, in this case maybe you can give her your M-50 and you can move on.
