Reply to Headphones <100$

I've been believeing about what to get a DJ friend of mine for christmas/birthday (Dec 24. He usually get's the shaft for a double holiday). He needs a new pair of headphones as he currently uses a cheap pair of American Audio cans.

I would like to stay south of 100$ if I could because this is a tight year. I've looked at the HDJ500 and they look nice and I had a pair of HDJ1000's and they were great but the headband broke. He also had a pair of HDJ1000's where the headband broke. I don't want to go out and buy a similar pair that's just not quite as good and have the headband break again. Anyone have any suggestions as to a good sounding and durable pair of cans south of 100$???
