I deal with Monster, Sennheiser, Shure headphones (not ear buds), Monster has good bass for hiphop, rock, things that are heavy in bass. The lowest Solo and Solo HD are pretty bad. I was testing the Pro and the Studio, they are good quality/built headphones.

Sennheiser and Shure are decent headphones for those who are interested for pure vocal, acoustics as they are softer.

To be honest, Beats are not even good in my opinion, just marketing, same goes with Bose... these guys are selling you a brand more than a decent product. You can do some research in here: http://www.head-fi.org/products/category/over-ear
