If i was going to spend that much on headphones i wouldnt be buying beats, but only because im a brand ***** - not that theres anything wrong with monstor audio. What kit do you have available to drive them, or are they 32 ohm lol.....
e/
Would sooner have these....for bass and isolation, im guessing thats what you want if your looking at those Beat things.

I bought the beats by dre solo HDs but they hurt my ears after about an hour of listening so went to apple yesterday and paid the extra 100 and swapped them for the studios and they are amazing, bought a 3M aux to aux cable so I can use them on my tv aswell! Brilliant headphones!! The bass is far more noticible on the solo HDs but the overall clarity and lows, mids and highs are so much better on the studios.......I hate to say it but they are 100% worth the 284.99 I paid!
My brother has the studio's and they are amazing.
In fact they're so good that i don't like them! You can't hear any outside noises when you have them on, it's horrible.
If you wore a pair whilst walking down the street you'd probably get run over as you wouldnt hear the car coming! Lol.
They are well worth the money in my opinion as they are good, despite the fact I dont like them.

I've been checking all the headphones out lately for gaming, music and movies. The beats seem to have good stereo sound but at a very high price. Check the AVforum out but don't take everything they say as gosbal. Check out astro a30's. Alot cheaper and get really good reviews. I'm going for tritton which have surround sound mainly for gaming plus movies.

Beats are overpriced 'designer' tat. Get some Grado's like http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/grado-sr225i-open-back-headphones-grado-sr-225i-prodid-313.html
They'll s**t all over the beats for pure definition. I've got some Pioneer HDJ2000's as and I find them fantastic for mixing as well as gaming/every day use.

Another vote for Grado here, I swear by them. I've gone through many pairs of headphones, but my Grados have kept going for years and years with abuse every night!
Whats the better headphone for recording, the studio or the pro?

Niether, they're both s**t. You'll end up mixing down songs all ass about face unless you EQ the f**k out of them, then that defeats the whole point in using decent headphones for mixdowns.

In ear headphones are s**t as well, you just end up with fatigue and damaged hearing. For the money you can get MUCH MUCH better.

GRADO. I got given the SR80i for Christmas '09, think they are about £100 and the 125i are about £150, people say there is a noticeable jump.
Like SamP said, they look awesome but look a bit funny on.
They easily compete with headphones that are twice the price.
Awesome for anything with guitars but can struggle on bass if not plugged into something decent.

Why not get the 701's (Which I have) for far far less. Unless you want to change the audio cable?Because thats the difference......
I assume youre aware you need an Amp to drive Akg701/2's ? (Or any high impedance headphone).
Beats are a farce. All of them.
Lol at IEM's being s**t. I dont listen to mine for 90 mins at any time so im good. I agree with the fatigue part, after a long time though. Great isolation, great bass (Dependant on earphones) if you want it. I love them. Got a pair of Beyerdynamiq DTX80's/ Should have gone for the DTX100's TBH.
Justin, whats your budget and whats your taste in music. Are you a bass head (look for closed cans, Beyer DT770), or do you prefer rock (Open cans, like the AKG K701).
Headphones have their own signatures, I dont think grado are that good tbh, even the GS1000's and HF2's. And I listen to a lot of rock, which Grado are supposed to excell at. I like Beyerdynamic. I like the AKG's I have but it took me a while to like them.
Also, If you have good cans, but still have s**t audio sources, 128kbps mp3's for example, and a s**t audio source, the audio will stil be s**t.
BOSE arent amazing really, they are overpriced.
Check Thomann out, they are fairly well priced for some cans. Also check out Headfi forums, theres a lot of used gear going there. Massive forum.

Oh and check this out. While this wont tell you what a can will sound like, youll be able to get an idea of what to expect. Ive stuck Dre Beats in there and AKG K701's for a comparason. Lower frequency is bass, treble higher up etc. Beats are f**king hopeless and are all about big bass. (Check the lady gaga ones out LOL)
AKG's are a fairly well balanced set of cans. Not a much bass which ive grown to love, decent mids and highs. Really want a set of Beyerdynamic Dt880's now ive heard them.
Have a look at grados, they are supposed to have more bass and higher treble which is their signature.

Just because I like one set of cans doesnt mean to say you will. Same goes for everyone else.

They're listed as pretty much the same price on amazon? The cables are the bit that always fail for me, best bit about my pioneers is the fact I can replace the cable. They're with me 24/7 though so I guess its half expected. As for an amp, they're not the hardest headphones to power and will sound 'fine' to the normal person without one. But yeah in the long run you'd invest in an amp.

They run 1/4 inch instead of 3.5mm though, never thought of that.
