let's give it some more credit. Maybe around my HFI 580 levels or pro 700MK2's?...ok..for a second there maybe i gave it too much credit >_<
 
does it need amping(probably not) and did you/were you able to use an amp on it to demo?

I think you'd be pushing it saying they're worth about 150.
 
The Detox is, from what I could tell, just a "reskin" of the standard Pro's. I didn't think it sounded different.
 
I don't think they need amps. They might benefit, but if you're willing to buy an amp you're willing to buy something that isn't a pair of beats. On demo, I wasn't able to use an amp.

I've heard the value $150 stated much more frequently in context of the Pros. You're the only one I've heard say they're worth as high as $250.

Well headfi will tend to be more critical of Monster on whole, so I won't really see many here stating that Pros are worth $200 - $250, and again, retail.
 
And also, remember that I am stating my personal opinion and the ones of other people I've spoken to outside the boards, DJ's, audiophiles and the likes.  
 
Remember that while sound reproduction is pretty much one of the biggest aspects of the headphone, the construction comes second to none..  Accessories and packaging comes 3rd in my opinion and then usage and versatility.   Many of the headphones that I've seen being compared require amping, and thus, not very portable. 
 
Hey, I'm not pushing any purchases, trust me, but I give credit where I believe credit is due.  I'd pay $200 for them.
As for Detox, no, they don't sound any different, like someone else mentioned, it's a re-skin.

I thought the Pros were a better version of the M50's, so $175ish would be a good number.

I've heard the pro's. i dind't like it at all. the vocals sounded veiled and very recessed and...it was just loose and the sound was like if you were i a very hollow big place room where you can just feel/hear that...well reverb or something

Construction of the Pros is surprisingly good, I'll give you that. The aluminium beats all the other plastic crap Monster puts out.

suprising? I guess you could say suprrings since we hate on Beats so much. But even Monster and Dr.Dre has decency as humans to give you soe good constructions with that $400 price tag. all the ppl with solo's on campus have their cable's broken

It's surprising given the construction-to-price ratio of the rest of Beats stuff. On the cable, it's the same on the Pros as far as I can tell and would likely break just as easily (a common issue!)

500 dollars and "Made in America" ? while something for ~300 dollars and "Made in Japan" can be had...

Actually the Pros cable is denser than Studios and Solos, and it's also Coiled.
Their designed as both portable and Djing use.

Nice. That's one of the biggest problems with cheaper Beats, from people who actually bought them... The cable.

the majority of the one's i see are breaking apart right after the 3.5mm male cable's little bead part is.

The Pros need to be amped to be any good. It's kind of a conundrum.
