first off let me say this, i hate beats.
really what your paying for is a look and a name and a better than ipod hedhones sound.
now this being siad, i lovvvvve the fact that i have a dad in the professional sound industry, i get access to so much better stuff its not even funny, if our looking for good headphones i can personally vouch for brands like sennheiser, shure, and akg.
out of the three akg is my personal favorite and is what im currently using, im using the k77 model that are only 50 bucks and in a side by side test with about 15 people mine blew my friends beats out of the water with sound quality.
