Newbie help with headphone gift choice.

I don't know much about headphones. They all have good reviews so how to choose? These will be an Xmas gift for my brother.

He uses them for TV and music. Priorities would be durability, comfort, then sound quality in that order.

AKG K 240 MK II

Sony MDR7506 Professional

Sennheiser Professional HD 280 PRO

Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Professional Studio Monitor

Thanks for any input.

The negative is static electricity causes "ear shocks.". Not recommended for dry environments. Can be mitigated with anti static spray. I replaced them with Focal Listen which also come with BlueTooth.
