WTF? 
get these http://www.zzounds.com/item--SENHD280PRO for 100 bucks.
if they didnt have the dr. dre name attached to them, they would still go for a couple hundred +, so I can guarantee that they are high quality studio monitor headphones. Are they the best out, nope. But they are still good, and when you get them you wont feel like you got played. The bass is a tad bit exaggerated, but overall you should be pleased.
Dahhhhhhh...Well say that shit in the OP OP!
Nah, you "Supposed" to know that when dude say "cans" he really ain't talking about cans.

for the price they betta be worth it.
They arent worth it unless you want to buy a name. These are good alternatives for half or 1/3 of the cost.
Denon AH D1001
mdr v6(im not a huge sony fan)
Grados sr60/sr80(they dont look as cool but have some of the best sound for the price range)
Ultrasone DJ1
ATH-M50
ATH ES7
ATH 700
Sennheiser hd595
If you on a serious budget Koss Portapros best 30-40 bucks ever spent on headphones
Depends on your budget do some research and everybody hears things differently, so personal exp matters. I only heard the beats in Best Buy hooked up to a Ipod touch. So That may have made a difference but unless you get a hook up 350 is to much. If you are using it for personal audio you might want to look into an amp if you plan on pushing some cans.

These are seriously not to monitor with. I have listened to them at Best Buy and they are quite bassy. Monitors should have a flat response.
I've seen so many MF'ers wearing those shits all over NYC now.
When I was doing my headphone search last year, I thought about copping a pair. Opted for the Senheiser HDs80 PROs instead. One of the BEST 'phones I ever purchased.
The bass on the Dre's were a bit too much for me.
But they look sleek and are pretty comfortable.
Do a search for some 'phones threads on BGOL.
A few of us were posting on various makes and models.
I just checked out a pair of GRADO's 125si's (among others) at this place on 8th St. (NYC) called AUDIOGEARS. They sell japanese gadget stuff too. But phones are their thing. Japanese Dude there was really cool. And their set-up is better than J&R's.

These are the current ones I have... These have the best frequency response hands down, and they dont fatigue your ears, very natural sounding unlike those dre headphones.... you dont need that much exaggerated bass all the time...

When it comes to audio equipment you need to listen for yourself, you are gonna hear things diferently than someone else.
Man these shits are expensive.
Are Panasonic and Sony headphones any good, or are Bose still leaders overall?
co-sign. I see wayyyyyy too many cats with these here in NY and I just wasn't that impressed when i demoed them when they first came out. Like others in this thread have said, the bass is a bit too heavy and you're gonna spend some time fucking with the EQ, even if it's on some listening to music on the iPod type shit. With that said, there are many alternatives and I wouldn't spend the $$$$ on just a name alone and alot of tech cats dont even fuck with Monster because of their ridiculously overpriced cables that are marked up a million percent over cheaper ones that do the same shit.
