Sennheiser HD428/448 (latter for better looks). Fits most of your criteria, plus they're not really expensive.

With all due respect, I think many suggestions are forgetting that these are for practicing the piano, not listening to the piano. She probably isn't going to do any serious listening or tinkering with interpretations, timbres, articulation, etc. on the digital piano anyway, so sound quality shouldn't be too important. I couldn't imagine playing piano while wearing anything as bulky (or heavy, even though these aren't particularly heavy) as the HD 580/600, K501/601/701-2, etc. Someone else's mileage may vary, but personally I would be displeased.
Any reason not to use IEMs, assuming you can find the right tips? If she frequently wears headphones around the neck, maybe supraaural sets just aren't working for her.
