Can get these for $200, debating between that or the M50s. Upgrading from Beats Studios and kind of want something different, but was happy with the Studios.
In you use the Studios on the go, I would actually stick with that since they are much more comfortable and isolate better.
For something different, and I mean COMPLETELY different, you should take a look at open headphones like the HD 598s.
Yea, it just makes you look like a tool :P
I personally don't wear full sized headphones outside anyway 
Good review. Not sure about the "people who don't like them probably never tried them". I live in a country where in the capital there are 3 places to try AKGs. I only know 1 place to try the K702/701, and believe I've looked. Despite all this, I have no problem finding the entire Beats line-up. The bandwagon effect might be true, so maybe it's more accurate to say "most Beats bashers have their objective discernment clouded by the norm here at Head-Fi, which is to bash".
The reason why I quoted is because I don't truly agree with this logic. The fact that the 'average consumer' usually can't take 5 minutes to research anything doesn't excuse the Beats terrible price-quality ratio. An over-priced or bad headphone is nothing but that. It doesn't matter in the slightest how marketed or easily accessible it is, because that will never make it any better. Qualities are an objective thing, it either reproduces sound well (or in case of 'fun' signatures, what the majority thinks is well) or it doesn't. And when compared to other models, the price is either fair or it isn't. Saying "these are over-priced, but because consumers are stupid these are good" just isn't right, because marketing can't change a driver.
The same consumer who buy without researching probably did so because "it looks cool". Price to quality is terrible no doubt, but maybe price to style + sound quality might not be that bad
