    I'd rather recommend drop 58x or he400se (hfm) depending on the preference.

    In that price range, I've bought a number of friends and family ATH-M50x as presents. Maybe spend what's left on something like a used Dragonfly to clean up the sound some.

    I liked the audio-technica AD700.

    Don't know what the equivalent is currently.

    Yes. AD900 sounded fine unamped. But the AT headband doesn't work for everyone.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I think the AD900 might be a good for him.

    The AD900 was my first serious headphone. Liked it very much. Got on well with the wings too: very comfortable. Several times, forgot I was wearing it and got brought up sharp by the cable.
