those srh dj series looks quite good.
don't know about their quality though

I also like  Bower and Wilkins P5, sound not bad, look pretty sweet!

Looks are of course subjective but I think the M80's look pretty good.

*Merck, any idea how do they sound?

nedelq, I have not listened to them.  I was going purely off of the looks.  As far as the sound, I have heard good things and there is a thread now with lots of reviews.  It seems the company is trying to focus more on the sound now than in the past.

I'd say something along the lines of the Shure SRH440 or SRH840.

Soul SL150 got a good review from Tyll. The frequency response is surprisingly even. Too much mid-bass/lower mid-range from 100-500 Hz, but pretty well extended bass and the treble has no big peaks.

Hmm those look even suprisingly good in the measurements (talking from a basshead's perspective), nice to see not all celebrity headphones are bunch of crap. I might even really like these headphones with a slightly EQ work. 
 
31Hz: +3.0
250Hz: -1.5 
500Hz: -1.0 
 2khZ: +1.0
 4kHz: +1.5
 8kHz:  +0.5
16kHz: +2.0
 
or something like that as I like big even bass response coupled with forward mids and neutral highs.

For great audio and a sleek design, i'd raise a hand (as usual, other people don't give these the credit they deserve imo) for the AIAIAI TMA-1!

i second this. quite the underrated headphone

I second the recommendation on the TMA-1's. I love them paired with my iPhone 4. I prefer the iPhone 4 + TMA-1's over the HD650's + HeadRoom's desktop amp/dac + laptop. The TMA-1's are a small, sealed, and way easier to power HD650 with better bass and more detailed treble. I find the iPhone 4 and TMA-1 to be quite the combination.

oh maannnn, those look hideous! haha.
I love the wooden HF style, I just ordered a pair of D2000's with D7000 cups =)
 
Anyways, good luck on your hunt!

These look slick, but not great sound quality.

 

[GL1TCH3D]

Maybe look at the new Denon D7100 xP More beats style and if they're anything like the d7000 they should sound very good.

 

[SnowFalls]

I still recommend, if your looking into the beats style headphones to take a peak at the Fanny Wangs, the sound is much better then beats. - but still look.... actually... they look... identical. haha
Anyways, I'd rather recommend something else, but for someone like you looking for something that looks cool... those are your best option; you can even customize the colors =)

Hello Everyone,
 
I am pretty new to the higher end headphones. I was wondering are there any high end offerings that offer the style of Beats, but a lot better SQ?
 
Thank you!

Sorry for the delayed response, but just noticed this post, check out the M-Audio Q40 with a FiiO E11 portable amp.  You can buy both for under $200 combined and they will absolutely blow away Beats with quality mids and highs, even in the bass department.  I just bought mine a few days ago and love them.
