Just get a set of 40-ish dollar Sennheisers and you'll be golden.

Some expensive headphones can be well worth it (though not the kind that people usually buy.) It usually means you are a DJ or a musician however.

I'll agree – you can get headphones much better than Beats for less than $200. But at the same time, there are other headphones at that price point that definitely are worth it. Still, unless you're really serious about sound quality, they're overkill.

SONY MDR-V6s. Just the industry standard you know.

Or mixing professional audio.

That too. I imagine they're critical for engineers, producers, designers, as well as techs.

I know I'm going to lose cred here by saying this, but you'll have to pry my Beat Pros from my cold/dead hands. Yeah, they may not be as clear/crisp as other cheaper headphones, but since I listen to EDM 98% of the time, all I care about is bass.

Hey, if it's what you like....just glad I wasn't the one paying for them.

Too bad there are still bassier and cleaner headphones for less... Beats really are all about that badge.

Those would all likely use monitors, not headphones though :D
