as far as fake beats. the sound sucks, the durability sucks. the feel sucks. if you get the studios, they are NOT noise canceling and the amp generates heaps of static.
in most cases with fake stuff you get what you paid for. in this case you get less.
the reason i say this is my freind bought a pair of fakes. they sounded horrible, beat in bass and clarity by my $10.80 sony in ears. for which i give sony props for, as they are impossible to blow with anything i have less of a loudspeaker amp. also they broke within 4 days of gentle use. and when you start at such a poor design, including but not limited to a single piece of cast plastic as the headband, you cannot really expect anything. if money is tight go with what the above said and get the xb500's. if you want something that looks great and sounds great for the money, go with v-moda crossfade lp from amazon. there is just so much more to offer within your price range. you could even go for some IEM's but i am not one to say much on that. i have heard some deliver great bass or great clarity, or both if you jump up a bit in price.
