The Pro itself isn't as horrible a can as everything under it, but it's extremely overpriced. Also insulting is the fact that Yahoo names it as a true "Pro" headphone, which it is definitely not. No professional mixer or studio would use headphones with such a v-shaped sound. If you're trying to record something, you go for a neutral can. It's obvious, but none of the brainwashed herds of people seem to understand basic logic. Dr. Dre says "yo all those studios use my cans" and they all fall in love.

I know this, but it doesn't make me any less upset. Literally 100 dollar headphones will do you better. And the fact that their bassy....really bassy, which isn't good for recording in my opinion.

This article is pure marketing...thats it. Im sure we all know of 5 headphones better than the ones listed. 

Yo dawg, dem beatz waz made by da doctor, da Dr. Dre my dawg, so youz knowz dez muzt be da bomb. I bet dey tight for mixing some fat beats yo.

They totally missed Audeze, so that article officially sucks

No Stax (maybe Koss ESP/950 too), no LCD-2, HE-500, or HE-6, no HD800 or other such highly-regarded cans on a list of the very best headphones around? Something's very wrong here.
