As with anything speaker-related, I would recommend personal auditions. Bose has quite the reputation, but many people (including myself) think that is because of effective marketing, not actual science and quality.

If you listen to headphones, you will hear differences between certain brands. You need to hear YOUR music on the headphones to know whether or not you are getting the performance that you want.

I could sit here and tell you that Headphone A is the greatest sounding headphone in the history of history, and listening to it is the equivalent of a panda crapping a rainbow in your brain, but if after listening to it, YOU don't think so, then all of my hype means NOTHING.

Do yourself a favor, and before dropping a chunk of change - LISTEN.

And Richard - the Beats by Dre are made by Monster Cable, and they are being hawked pretty hard. I have heard them - impressive. But Monster Cable is probably the second worst company when it comes to marketing voodoo and overpriced stuff.
