I've had my XB500's for over a year now & have compared them with many of the Beats models.  None of the Beats sound nearly as good or are as comfortable. But I must say that the Beats look cool.  I'd go with the Sony's over the Beats any day.
 
I purchased my XB500's for $52 (plus free shipping) at Amazon.

Get the xb500 defo its recommend by many people, the beats are one of the many headphones that shouldnt be getting much attention

Great another satisfied user that head-fi was able to save from "Monster" company. Mission accomplished.

I would say he is more saved from 'beats'. Monster has some good IEM's. I just listened to the turbine yesterday and thought it was exceptionally good.
