Right, "crystal clear and well balanced' to describe the sound of the Beats Studio. Pleasant okay but "crystal clear" or even "balanced"? Even a PX200 II gave me more information about my music...
What set up did you use? Was the source lossy or lossless?

I'm surprised you didn't notice the hiss from the terrible ANC in the Beats. The bass heavy part is probably due to it not really producing good sub bass; it only does one note bass bloat. And $350? Last check, they were only $300. I suggest you track down your seller unless those prices are the norm for your area.
