Monster Beats By Dr. Dre

If you're talking about the headphones, I'm sure they're decent but they are also pretty overpriced and gimmicy. You're paying for the name. What are you looking to use headphones for? Studio production, DJing, casual listening, etc.?

So then sounds like you've made up your mind. I seriously doubt the dres sound better than high end sennheisers, but, maybe they do. These are supposed to be pretty good since it sounds like you have money to spend.

They probably sound good but I don't like that they need batteries. It's more like these headphones were made to show off that you could afford them.

The monster beats by dr dre, whilst they are descent headphones they are significantly overpriced and do not hold a candle to the high end headphones by such companies as Sennheiser (eg: the HD800 blows it away and so it should given the price, but so does the HD600). That bieng said, headphones such as the HD600 and HD800 require proper amplification (and of course a good source) before you can start to trully understand how good the headphones are. They are also very neatral headphones, which might not be to your liking for example if you want 'bloated' bass or emphasised highs etc...

I wouldn't run and buy headphones straight away as I have always found headphones listening much more personal then listening to speakers. Take your time, you shant regret it. If you want any help/advice i'd be more then happy to help. Such things as the kind of music you listen to, the sound coloration you like (neatral, warm etc), and where you wish to use the headphones (do they need to be closed, isolated, or can the be open?), and of course your budget and I would be more then happy to help point you in the right direction.

I can't imagine anyone trully felling they sound better then headphones such as the HD800, AKG601, Beyerdyamic Dt880 or similiar.

This is true...a lot of people don't think about that.
