Wasn't sure what to expect out of the box because of all the mixed reviews. By mixed you would see 9 that love and totally swear by Ultrasone but then there was always one troll hating on em and...
This is a review of a pair of free IEM's I recieved from DUNU as part of a give away contest they recently held here on Head-fi.
When I recieved my package the first thing I notices was...
Best closed headphones I had heard - very flat response, almost no midrange distortion, very easy to drive (good for portable), good soundstage (definately better than K240), good isolation, but...
Overall excellent buds, very good sound quality, especially for their price, the medium set of tips fits exactly in my ears and provides a near perfect seal. Bass is very detailed, but not...
nedelq, I have not listened to them. I was going purely off of the looks. As far as the sound, I have heard good things and there is a thread now with lots of reviews. It seems the company is trying to focus more on the sound now than in the past.
Soul SL150 got a good review from Tyll. The frequency response is surprisingly even. Too much mid-bass/lower mid-range from 100-500 Hz, but pretty well extended bass and the treble has no big peaks.

Hmm those look even suprisingly good in the measurements (talking from a basshead's perspective), nice to see not all celebrity headphones are bunch of crap. I might even really like these headphones with a slightly EQ work.
31Hz: +3.0
250Hz: -1.5
500Hz: -1.0
2khZ: +1.0
4kHz: +1.5
8kHz: +0.5
16kHz: +2.0
or something like that as I like big even bass response coupled with forward mids and neutral highs.
For great audio and a sleek design, i'd raise a hand (as usual, other people don't give these the credit they deserve imo) for the AIAIAI TMA-1!
I second the recommendation on the TMA-1's. I love them paired with my iPhone 4. I prefer the iPhone 4 + TMA-1's over the HD650's + HeadRoom's desktop amp/dac + laptop. The TMA-1's are a small, sealed, and way easier to power HD650 with better bass and more detailed treble. I find the iPhone 4 and TMA-1 to be quite the combination.
I still recommend, if your looking into the beats style headphones to take a peak at the Fanny Wangs, the sound is much better then beats. - but still look.... actually... they look... identical. haha
Anyways, I'd rather recommend something else, but for someone like you looking for something that looks cool... those are your best option; you can even customize the colors =)
I am pretty new to the higher end headphones. I was wondering are there any high end offerings that offer the style of Beats, but a lot better SQ?
Thank you!

Sorry for the delayed response, but just noticed this post, check out the M-Audio Q40 with a FiiO E11 portable amp. You can buy both for under $200 combined and they will absolutely blow away Beats with quality mids and highs, even in the bass department. I just bought mine a few days ago and love them.
