The new denon d1100 is at 200 dollars and needs no amp, is very portable and reviews state that it even has more bass than the d200 and the d500 (3x-5x more bass)
Everyone knows this is a year and a half old thread right?

Yeah, but it's just ridiculous how many people say that certain cans are muddy, but just maybe they're supposed to be like that?
One man's mud is another man's gold.
Now, I've never tried the beats myself, so it may be absolute crap like the ppl here say.
Yes, Monster is an overpriced cable company.
Yes, Dre is probably getting paid a lot of royalties for having used his name, and therefore skimped on quality.
But somehow, I don't think it's a garbage as people say.
1. I'm a basshead.
2. A company can make a quality phone just by using economies of scale. By selling 10x as many phones, can knock down half the price.
3. People on head-fi are notorious bass haters.

For $300, I would have gone with the SR-325is.
Awesome.

this guy got it right.
e.g. I was just listening to the Beatles "Across the Universe" with Senn 600. There is a very low, almost subsonic beat emanating from left of center. Very subtle yet quite effective - once you can hear it. I suspect with Monster's phones it would be a bit painful to endure, at least for me.
As for whether Dr Dre is "listening to his music wrong", I don't think anyone is saying that (at least in this thread)...but again, the discussion isn't so much centred on Dr Dre. Does he sincerely think the headphones are good? I don't know. What is beyond debate is that he has given public endorsement of it, and that he gains from this endorsement financially. That isn't necessarily good or bad, them's just the facts.

You mean John Lennon's Across the Universe? He wrote that after he left the Beatles and the best version is actually him and Bowie doing it on the Young Americans album. Best SQ recording of the song and best rendition of the song, IMO, but my opinion is fact.
Dr Dre does RAP, What would any rap artist who sample other peoples music and alter it and add some unintelligible gibberish to the mix know about good SQ? Just because the person is famous for mixing rap albums doesn't make them an expert on good SQ. In fact, he probably has really bad hearing from all that drum and bass at extremely loud levels over the years. Just because someone is a musician is no qualification that they know good SQ from bad SQ either. Dr Dre is just another greedy DP.
