I'm looking to get my dad some for his birthday, but I'm really struggling to find any that fit the bill!

He's turning 70. They'd be for use when he's doing light gardening and tidying his workshop, not exercising or anything!
His genre in classical music - Mozart, Brahms, Wagner etc
He won't be needing them for calls and doesn't have Alexa
I'd like him to be able to pair them with his Samsung phone, Windows computer and tablet (a hudl?) if possible
I think the retro look might be good, to take him back to the 70s kind of thing
My budget is ideally under £100. I could go up to £270ish but under £100 would be far better!
He has big ears!! I think over ear would be good, but think 'Prince Charles' kind of proportions!

I've been bashing the internet but finding something that ticks all the boxes is proving impossible. If you have any suggestions though please do let me know!

I'm also on the lookout for a simple MP3 player with basic and easy to see/use controls that he can use in conjunction with the headphones (is it bluetooth you need for wireless?) that I can give him for Christmas. Something with masses of storage. Any suggestions there would be great too!

Personally, I'd wait until Black Friday on 27th and try and pick up a bargain in a few days' time. If you are after a really great set of over ear headphones then Bowers & Wlkins PX7 can be bought for £219 right now from John Lewis and Amazon. Normally these retail for £349.

At the other end of the scale, Philips PH805 can be bought for less than £80 currently. These normally retail for £160.
