At the end of the day you ARE paying more for the design and extra bells and whistles. In my opinion the over-ear Momentum blows the new studio out of the park, but the Mixr is maybe the best DJ headphone ever (I DJ constantly so I've had plenty of experience, and yes it dethrones the HD 25 IMO, and that's coming from a Senn fanboy to the core). At the end of the day none of these consumer oriented low impedance headphones will come close to my HD600 through my Schiit rig for pure listening, but all these products are for different things, and that's the beauty of it all. We live in a time where you have more selection of quality headphones, whatever style you want, then ever before. Getting pissy about people's taste is just stupid. If I want pure fun and bouncy FR then I grab my Beats when I go to walk my dog. When I want to listen to The Beatles and pick every song apart I listen at my station, and it's awesome that both of those are possible to the average consumer today.
