Philips X2 are probably the best choice. They have a slightly "V" shaped sound signature, which puts the drums slightly forward in most mixes, and really are known for complimenting electronic music because of their sound signature. They are a great balance between "forgiving" and "revealing" meaning they can still make poorly mastered recordings sound good, and can still show quite a bit of detail that most headphones will not be able to show. Before their release Sennheiser's HD600, were the main champ of the "mid-fi" range, but after the X2's were released plenty of people say they prefer them. They're really known for their very good bass and mids, what I really like about them is their soundstage is 3-D meaning sounds can be perceived as not only appearing around you, but above and below you and I've heard this very frequently in Aphex Twin songs, specifically the drums in IZ-US and the slow monophonic synth at around 2:30 in Mt. Saint Michel's Mix.
Here's a good review, and a more entertaining, but far less objective review.
Other options to consider are Hifiman's HE-400s, I have heard mixed stuff about them from "meh" to "absolute game changer for $300". But they are certainly worth looking into.
If you're looking to spend less and get the headphones Richard says are his favorite for studio, the Sony MDR-7510 would be good to look into.
If you find you can't get your headphones to good listening levels, notice a lot of floor noise, or just want to spend more money to get a little better sound you should maybe look into getting a dedicated headphone amp. I personally use the Schiit Fulla for my Philips X2's, and I think they make a difference well worth the price. The next step up would be NwAvGuy's Objective2 Amp which is well known for competing against much higher priced amps and being very neutral.
If you want to do more of your own research I highly recommend using head-fi's popular headphone guide or posting a purchase advice thread in /r/headphones. Spending $300 is a big decision and there's a HUGE difference in the best headphones $300 can buy and the worst. I would definitely avoid noise-cancelling and blutooth unless it's an absolute necessity since it just redirects the price tag to additional technology instead of focusing on the driver. Also in pretty much any price bracket, open-back headphones will trump closed-back. Open back allow for a much larger soundstage and typically do everything better than closed. Before I made the move to open back I hated the idea, but after hearing how open back headphones almost feel like sitting perfectly in between two very nice speakers, I never can imagine going back to closed.
I will any questions you (or anyone else) have.
Sorry I don't have any advice on the units you're looking at since I'm new to the space too, but I can share my experience.
The route I ended up going was purchasing an Akai MPK Mini, and used that to get a free copy of Ableton Live Lite. It's giving me the opportunity to experiment with soft synths to see what I'm capable of before taking the plunge into the rabbit hole of $1,000+ units, just in case I end up getting overwhelmed or bored with the creation process. Luckily, so far I haven't.
Not stupid at all. Making ur own shirt might actually make it more special to you and it would bypass red bubble. Maybe instead of using a computer monitor you could print out the logo in the desired size, make a stencil of it, then just fill in the stencil with a dye pen:

Obviously having one professionally made would be nice too, alls I'm saying is it's not a stupid idea:):):)
Edit: Also, might be a good idea to separate the front and back of the shirt with cardboard while filling in the stencil so none of the dye bleeds through
Ambient Century! great book. read it 17 years ago, nice to see it come up on this sub. learned a lot about music from it, how everything evolved from one genre into another. that kinda info was hard to get back then. i read "modulations" around the same time - similar theme but notes slightly more underground artists for the time.. https://www.amazon.com/Modulations-History-Electronic-Music-Throbbing/dp/189102406X
With Christmas coming up might be a good time to get him into vinyl
From viewing the Amazon page for Rushup Edge, it would seem the only options are CD and vinyl, and even at that, they are all overpriced used copies which Richard doesn't see a cent of.
Unless you are a collector, I don't think it's reasonable to expect a fan to pay at least $63 + shipping from Japan.
Perhaps it's all just speculation, but I found references to it in this gentleman's "book"

Nah Google messed that one up. It just picked the first picture it could find on the amazon page: link
Huh, never heard about it. I'm looking on amazon now and see a version with a weird cover of a horse on it, guess that's the last one? http://www.amazon.com/Selected-Ambient-Works-85-92-Aphex/dp/B00GG3FJHO/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1425919441&sr=8-10&keywords=selected+ambient+works
You or anybody else heard it? The quality of the recording has always bugged me but I just assumed it was a lost cause.
