Better than the Beats Pro for under $250? - Page 2

Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80-Ohm, FULL bass headphones.

Will work without a headphone amplifier, but only decently.

Headphone amplifiers bring out their best.

Really good price for new and used on eBay.

 

Headphone amplifiers

Fiio E11 or E6 if you want to save a few dollars.

But really should get the E11.

Don't expect with certainty that they will think any non-Beats headphones sound better, even if you give them some $1000 cans. It's called endowment effect.  It just means the owners are biased in their judgement merely by owning an item.

 

Some people reported how their non-audiophile friends were underwhelmed with their high-end gear and still prefered their Beats, stock earbuds, etc.
