HE-500 at home UM PRO30 elsewhere. I have found lugging a fullsized headphone around is annoying and smaller ones just aren't good enough sound wise.
 
Why did you went with beats and what do you want from a headphone? Need more info for recs

Check the ATH WS99 if you can find them for cheap, great full size bass centric cans, just too bad no detachable cables.
 
Or you can get the Martin Logan 90s portables for like $50 something that does the entire sonic spectrum justice, but you would need quality sources to get the best/most outta' them sadly. Not really a bassy can per se, but i listen to all my hip hop with them hooked via my FiiO E17 dac and Schiit Vali amp and they sound freaken AMAZING!!!

^ R.A.P MUSIC was a Killer Mike solo project with El-P as the producer, while R.T.Js was a joint collaboration with both of them on the w/raps and El-P on the beats, so there is a diff meng.

At 200, I can only think of the K601
 
I ain't too good with open and budget headphones but just under 300 try a DT880 or an AD900X, HD598, or a 701. Just over 300, get one of those modded T50RPs or better a, HE400
