Budget?  The Audio Technica ATH-M50 ($160), Sony MDR-1R ($200), V-MODA M-100 ($300), or Sennheiser Monentum ($350) will be much better pick.

Ok thanks man, and yeah do they look stylish to wear outdoor?

Hell yes, the M50 has 4 colors, including red; the 1R is black and red and so is the Momentum; the M-100 has mult-color options and custom shields.  Just check out my profile for my Black/Red with Red or Gold shields and White with Gold shields.

Whatever you do, don't get the beats MIXR.
I'm not a hater on beats at all, i got the beats pro detox myself. But the MIXR is reaaallyy bad, especially for bass. Just listen to the suggestions listed above.
Also, the beats studio is a nice bass headphone. It's overpriced though.

The Monster DNA headphones are pretty solid all around and are portable as well, folding up into a smaller package. They are priced at around $200 or less on Amazon and come in multiple color schemes.

I had the Sol's and i was satisfied with them until i got my hands on some M50's. You don't realize how bad they are until you compare them with a quality headphone. They had good bass, i admit, and a lot of it. But the mids were very recessed and the treble lacked the extension and sparkle. Overall sounded very congested compared to the M50's. I am currently using my $40 JVC HA S500 and they sound much better than the Sol's. 
 
My suggestions would be: 
Sennheiser HD 25-1 ii: They have very good bass with a nice aggressive tone to it which sounds excellent with electronic/rap,hip-hop/techno.
 
If you're looking for something less bassy:
Beyerydnamic DT1350
V-Moda M80

Exactly, and a lot of people just doesn't know anything better until they have a chance to actually listen to something better.

They may sound Better but they lack in portability and aesthetics. I can workout in the SOL's but would look silly doing so in the M50's
 
Sennheissers lack Bass for me personally
