Thanks, don't have enough time for review websites, so maybe someone just post 1-5 variants to buy without long reading
8 March is tomorrow! Is this going to be a late birthday present? 🙂
We would really need more information:
What is the intended use of the headphones - in the home only or for commuting?
Closed back or open back, wired or wireless, on ear or over ear?
Yeah, I have only about 2 hours after my job ^)
Only for home using (or when walking maybe), I think over ear (she has this type now), another questions I don't know, but seems wireless is more comfortable
Does she need a wired headphone for the Electro?
Do you plan to buy from a physical store today?
If so, give us a clue where. 🙂

I really love the Grado SR 80 for about $100 US. They have really good deep bass for such a low price; bass, mids, highs all sound natural and balanced. They are quite efficient; I use them with my laptop and normally only have to set the volume on "30" or less. I doubt there is a better sounding set of headphones out there in this price range. They have the screw on adapter for 1/8 in or 1/4 in jacks.
You are right, wireless headphones isn't a good variant
Yeas, in physical store, of course 🙂 I know a pretty big musicial store with many stuff like this,
ps. will be here, at PC for a about 1 hour, next need to go 🙂
If you want a sealed back, I've been very happy with my SoundMagic HP150. Very comfortable, great sound, neutral looking.
Edit: Looks like they have a new model out, HP151. Reviews on Amazon aren't great, but I've had no issues at all with mine - they've been very durable.

Could you buy her a gift certificate and let her choose?
Yes, that may be impersonal, but fit and comfort for the individual are as important as sound quality or other features, as Galu mentioned earlier.
Just a thought.

The Audio Technica ATH-M50x is also a standard recommendation in your price range. I tried them once and found them less comfortable than my hp150 due to less padding, but they are a solid headphone.
Hard to find 'phones that don't look too industrial.
What I think is stylish, my wife thinks is hideous!

Multisync, you just THINK it worked for you! 😉
Audio Technica ATH-MSR7GM (£120)?
GM stands for Gun Metal - nice!

Do they wear glasses or listen for long periods of time ?
Comfort is an issue for glasses wearers with the Grado mentioned earlier
I own the AT M50X mentioned and although they are very nice the "pleather" can get hot in summer .
The bass is accentuated a bit much on the AT 50X for me . YMMV
What source and amp is used for listening ?

Are you looking for closed-back headphones? They can be awfully big, but you'll probably get the best sound. Beyerdynamic makes some awesome models, but they can get pretty pricey.
I'm also a big fan of the Audio Technica M50x; they are much more affordable than the beyerdynamic pair, closer to your budget.
