I can see your new here, so I don't know if you're trolling or not. I would simply like to let you know that Beats are usually met with a hardy laugh around here and for good reason.

While you're only 60 posts older than that guy, I have to agree with you.

I have had a few pairs, and honestly the Beats Pro are one of my favorite to listen to music in. And I made 15 of my friends with different tastes in music try my AKG K702's, HDJ-2000's, TMA-AIAIAI's, Beats Pro, & one other pair (cant remember). And 14 / 15 liked the Beats the most. One really preferred the 2000s.

HDJ2000s for studio work is crazy..... mids are way too loud!

Going to throw the Sony MDR-7506 / V6 out there - which are my personal favorite "flat" headphone which tick just about every box and can be multi purposed for live use without fear of blowing/breaking/leaking sound.

Thats what they are designed for though - listening, not producing with a big smiley face EQ if you tried to master with a pair you'd have to have your EQ's turned into a big sad face which would sound like turd on any "normal" system.

There's also a company called "superlux" which I wrote about before who make a pretty amazing headphones for very little money in the shape of the 668 (there is 3 versions) - I was going to get a pair but all their headphones appear to be made for basketball size heads (where mine is more volleyball size).

I think realistically you need to test as many pairs as you can in a headphone/hi-fi shop.

Bring along 3 or 4 pieces of music that you know VERY well and test as many pairs as you can - buy them online if you can get a better price there afterwards, but test them in on your own head.

You cannot expect a pair of headphones that were bought on the opinion of varied forum responses to be the "right one" as we all perceive sound differently.
