Sell them and purchase a pair of decent headphones, you may even have cash to spare while having better sounding headphones.
 
A good, entry-level Ultrasone is the HFI-580

 
The 580 is very much a basshead can.  If you want strong bass in a more balanced sound signature look to the HiFi 780 (especially if using no amplification) or the Pro 750.

most ultrasones would work

Get some denon d2000's if you are looking for something that is easy to drive. If you have the extra £50 at the end, get a fiio e11. I have tried this combo, and I can say that it is very nice

Those beats are really hot right now. So, I think selling them is not difficult at this time. And for the money you get, you can buy much better cans than the monster beats, believe me. The noice cancelling is good, but the isolation is crap. From outsite the headphone, you hear as much as from the inside, a lot of people will look very annoying at you in the metro.

Sold them for 300. I got lucky.  
 
Remember, these cans have to be portable.  I really need to take them places, not just sit at home and listen.
 
Again, no amp, no terrible leakage, must be portable, must be under 300.
 
AIAIAI TMA-1 is my #1 choice at the moment.  Anyone know where I can go to try a pair?

I believe they're available from Amazon.

I would like to try them in person.  Someone posted that the Beatport edition was at Best Buy, maybe I'll go there.
 
There've been reports of discomfort, etc.  I'm not too picky, but they are 200 dollars...
 
Thanks for your help

Hello Everyone,
 
Thanks so much for your input! I got my AIAIAI TMA1 beatports today.  I've listened to them a little, and never has a pair of headphones put a smile on my face when I hear something awesome.
 
This forum has treated me so well.  I'm hooked. I'll be back.
