Many years ago (back in the 80s) a beloved pair of Pioneer headphones I had for a long time - not as fancy as today's breed and certainly not as expensive - expired when the cable gave up, I guess the world has moved on in this regard.

There's closed Sony and Pioneer phones that are lovely sounding for £65ish

If your son is young then the AKG Y50 are very stylish and a smidge under £60

He's 18. He has a couple of pairs of headphones in this price bracket including a pair he takes on the bus and train. The intention for this new pair is a 'good' set for use at home with a tube headphone amp. I'm happy to pay up to £200 for this as it's a birthday present.
His music isn't to my taste but he takes it very seriously.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Seriously consider the Oppo that's on sale on this good forum. It is closed but, according to reviews, wipes the floor with its 'open' contenders. Its portability and closed nature might turn out to be just the thing

Sennheiser 600 and 650 prices used to fluctuate wildly on Amazon, occasionally coming down to £200 for 600s and just slightly higher for 650s. But perhaps Brexit has messed that up too.

I got my Senn 600's from Amazon brand new for £220, but that was in 2015. The prices do fluctuate quite a bit on these.
