He will now be in the shop, hopefully buying a stylish pair of headphones for his wife's birthday.
I hope he will tell us how he got on!
The only headphones I have absolutely hated - and returned for a refund, were the Grados.
Don't go there. Some people love them, some hate them. Too risky if she hasn't tried them.

Year, seems this variant is more correct. I even never thought about wireless options and so on.

Off the top of my head try the Audio-Technica ATH-WS1100iS. Great all round pair of headphones and are usually under $150 I believe.
I personally love the Sennheiser HD280Pro headphones for my digital piano. These would work great for pretty much anything you're looking to do with music. I also use them for recording vocals.
Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee for $160 on Massdrop or HiFiMan HE4xx for $170, it does NOT get much better than that in sub $600 price range.
Not necessarily the highest fidelity choice, but last generation versions of the Sony wireless headphones can be had for cheap. I got the Sony h900Ns for about $100, and they sound quite good. The amps and processing in them optimize the sound, and the noise canceling is a god send, even if not the most effective out there.
Headphones for less than 100$
Just try AKG K72 or AKG K92(59$) (K72 are 30$ now on discount)
I bet you would be pleasantly surprised and can keep the rest of the money for something else! 🙂

I have Bose wired noise cancelling phones, they are super comfortable, sound quality is very good - I believe the use of noise cancelling goes hand in hand with DSP so you get a well tailored frequency response. Contrast that with some Grado 60's I had - like sticking toothpicks in your ears.
