There are enough well respected headphones at even <$100...

I have wanted a pair of HD25s since I started DJing over 10 years ago.
to me THEY are the headphone to own.

Beats by Dre, are liek the Iphone of headphones and everyone seems to want to own a pair (amazing marketing).

Funnily, everyone who buys shit hot headphones listen to MP3's on them, which is the worst audio format around... (long live Vinyl)

For serious advice to the OP, Id consider asking some Audio Engineers who actually can tell the difference between good sound and bad sound and great sound.
"loud" and "bassey" does not always mean good, as much as the salesman will tell you such, but at the end of the day, budget and personnel preference should be your ultimate guide.

Me personnally, I struggle to hear the price difference between $100 and $500 headphones, but fit and what I think sounds good, means I like Astros and Sennis (plus they look cool)

happy hunting
