I recently purchased the new Monoprice "Premium Bluetooth" headset, and realized it is an OEM of Bluedio headphones. (www.bluedio.com)
The sound signature reminded me of my old Crossfade LPs a bit. Very nice bass, relaxed mids and highs, but clear. These look exactly like the older Beats Studios, but with better sound and less distortion. These are geared more towards bass heads IMO.
They are 100ohm+, so they need a headphone amp to shine when wired. I believe they have an internal amp for Bluetooth mode, as it is much louder than wired (sans amp).
I noticed Bluedio has an updated R+ model with APT-X and BT 4.0 (lossless transmission and low energy), so I ordered them ($120 on ebay, $179 on Amazon). Supposedly distortion numbers were improved, as well as a few other upgrades. I should have mine later to test.
The battery is crazy good on the Monoprice (20+ hours and it still hasn't died). This should be even better with BT 4.0.
