To clarify I am essentially looking for a pair of cheap, clearer dr dre beats. What are some good cans if I was to drop my price to 70-80 dollars brand new? Thanks!

I will repeat my recommendation of the ES7. Amazon has them for $89. The quality is too good to be compared with Beats. Just thinking of the comparison irks me.

The ES7 is pretty much my favorite on ear portable of all time next to the ES10JPN (HUGE price difference). The sub bass on the ES7 is not as prominent as headphones like the Sony XB series or the M50, but it was very impactful and thumpy. It definitely has more clarity than the XB series and M50 due to its treble and high mid emphasis. It's a very energetic sounding headphone

What soundcard is that using? Some Realtek or Intel HD Audio perhaps?

not sure, but I just got a pair of M50s and they are amazing! After 2 hours of burn in, "boom, boom, pow"(the song they use to demo the beats by dre dre) sound sooooooo much better on these than they do dres. The bass is already as powerful as the dres but the mids and highs are much better!
 
LOVE THESE 'PHONES!
 
THANKS for the suggestions!

Well I guess the m-50 fanboys beat me to it,
Still thought you should have got the cheaper beyerdynamic dtx900 or ultrasones.

I played around with the M50 and the Sony xb's and though the M50 are very good I seem to enjoy the XB 700 more with the PA2V2 amp..more of the fun slam and yet reasonably clear otherwise..still have the M5o also...
