Are any of these mainstream headphones good?

I'm not sure you'll find too many regulars around here who have much experience with cans like these. All of those headphones appear to be foremost concerned with aesthetics that appeal to hipsters, so you're mostly paying for the look. I'm pretty sure I've seen an advertisement online for those "urbanears" where the man shown wearing a skullcap covering his ears while listening to the headphones through it. So yeah, they're not really aiming for an audiophile market.

Some of them may be "good". The thing is with these types of headphones is a lot of the time you are paying for brand name/looks etc, rather than the actual build and sound quality of the headphones. For the same price you can buy these overpriced headphones you can get something much better sounding, though it may not look as "pretty type".
