Please stop being so reasonable in a Beats-bashing thread 

My apologies.

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.

I wonder what Dre uses in the studio these days? More chance of it being his M50s than beats I bet

I'm pretty sure he does use M50s.

 

[Minarets]

I do the know the one pic everyone points to, to claim Dre uses m50s in the studio is older than half the members on the board.

He may still use them, but a lot of people point to that one pic as evidence.

Dr dre packs extra science into each can before they ship, to give it that amazing audio signature we have all come to love.

Bucketloads of it.
 
The beats earcups must be like a tardis - bigger on the inside than the outside.
 
They warp space AND sound..........

I know this is a joke but fun fact; stuffing mineral wool into the cups of the Beats Pro was exactly what was needed to make the bass not sound as disgusting as it was stock.
