I suggest you purchase the Sennheiser HD-598 since your brother said he liked the sound quality.
Otherwise it's V-Moda M-100 as his alternative choice

lol how many cheese burgers can I buy with it ?

Quick calculation says 14,000 cheeseburguers, assuming they cost2 bucks

Well, I guess you have to get one quite decent and high-end with clear and good sound quality. Sound quality seems the most important factor to consider for him.

How about some Shures? I doubt he'd think they look ugly and they sound good. Maybe Fostex T50rp? I'm an AKG fanboy so I'd recommend anything from them (pretty much every AKG except for the K812 I've seen for under $280).
And Finally the reigning (IMO) kings of affordable sexy headphones
 

 
Meze 73 classic

No clue, I think I saw a thread where they were decent.... Not every AKG needs an amp, my K240's are good without but vastly superior with.

AKG K545 might be interesting and does not require an amp.

 

[oopeteroo]

how about akg k550 and k551 ? do they need an amp ?

Can't believe nobody has mentioned NAD Viso HP50. Amazing closed headphone that does not require any amplification. Works well with any genre of music IMO, excellent value for the money. Brilliant headphone and my go-to can when I can't use an amp.

It has a sensitivity of 115db/mw and 16 ohms impedance so it really doesn't need an amp. It also includes a case.
