Beats aren't liked much around here.

 

[GuyEyn]

Ok , but i asked the professional opinion i mean without any emotion or take a side , just technical info , they're sound how it goes , does it good , good bass , stuff like that

Beats = good sound, but not worth the money. They are worth a third of what you will pay for them.
 
The HD598 on the other hand are worth twice of what you will pay for them 
 
 
I love my HD598, and would never go for a Beats. But the HD598

 

[GuyEyn]

Ok , and about the HD598 , i can go with them on the street , and use the ipod with them ? because i have 1 headphones for the computer , i just look for kinda comforable headphones that i go freely with them anywhere , and they will look awesome and wont be weird on me and not clamsy , btw thanks on the help

Beats= Overpriced, poor fashion statement. As for the sound, muddy.
 
HD598= Good for the price.

 

[GuyEyn]

Ok , understood , i can take the HD598 and go around with that to anywhere i want ? you conviced me and also i knew that the beats are really overpriced but the HD598 can go with me anywhere , i mean the also for using with the ipod and so ? 

 

[Alghazanth]

It's light enough, but it's open so I wouldn't take it outside.

 

[GuyEyn]

thats why i want to take the beats , they're light , and i can take it outside .. but you say the sounds doesnt worth the price so .. i really dont know what to pick as my music headphones , maybe you have other suggestions ?

The beats are on the large side for portable headphones and dont sound very nice at all, its definitely a bad deal unless you can get them very cheap and used.  The HD598 sounds excellent, but its an open back type of headphone, and the Beats are closed back.  Meaning the HD598 vents sound and doesnt have a solid backside plate on the earcups to keep the sound in, its meant for home use only.  I use mine every day when I sit out side where i live, im alone out there in the mornings so its okay.  But anyone within 20 feet can hear everything I hear.  With the beats, its a little less noticeable because its a closed back set but they are still notorious for leaking sound.  
 
For this budget range you can do better.  The beats sound pretty terrible compared to the HD598.  Can you give us your budget, how much you are willing to spend?

 

[GuyEyn]

Thank for the help mate , my budget is arround 250$ from ebay , MAX MAX 300$ , what can i find in those prices ?

 

[swbf2cheater]

Oh man with that budget you can do great in portables.  Check out the Bowers and Wilkins P5 or the Sennheiser HD25-II  ( important that its the HD25 version II )
Both of these just smash the beats in quality and even price.  They are actually portable, the beats really are not portable.  
 
This is the best topic to look at, it compares all the best portable headphones, but I strongly suggest either of these.  They are both built like tanks and wont break anywhere near as easily as the beats, but more importantly they do not leak much sound to others nearby.

[GuyEyn]

**** man , really , big thanks

 

[crinacle]

Mind giving us your genre preferences too? That way, we can help you find one

GuyEyn, if you looking for headphones that are good with ipods and the outdoors, there are much options available than what the Beats' line offers.  Here are some suggestions for ya:
 
Audio-Technica ATH-M50
 
Denon AH-D1100
 
Shure SRH440
 
Ultrasone HFi-580
 
The Denon and the Ultrasone boast the deepest and strongest bass response of this group, while still maintaining excellent overall sound quality.  The Shures and the M50 have a more balanced sound signature that is not quite as bassy as the other two(though their bass response is still very good).  What they all have in common(besides stellar audio and portability) is they work quite well with portable payers such as your ipod for example.
