The 2005 edition are the latest (99% sure on that). I would go with the DT990 Premium 600ohm though: Beyerdynamic | DT 990 Premium Open-Back Stereo Studio | 483966

$230 is very, very good

Nice, and what amp would be good for these?

DT990?  Why is it head fi always reccomends at-home open-backed headphones to people who want a dre beats alternative? 
 
If you want to actually go outside B&W p5 will make you happy.

Sony MDR-F1's - the one headphone you can have on your head for hours and not notice its there, 250$ new (around)

Nice, variation...
 
Have you ever considered the Sony MDR V6, a good headphone to start with.

FWIW, the Beats Tours (in ears) that I got 24 hours ago has loose connection in right ear, Now sound like a blown scratchy speaker... Top quality fosure loll

Think Monster like Bose has many quality issues with headphones and earphones

!!!And is OVERPRICED!
