Rundown - all the Beats had strong but muddy (too strong) bass with reasonably strong midrange for voice and treble. Unfortunately the bass seemed to muck up the clarity. The Bose were better as the bass wasn't as muddy, but not totally clear.. All but one Bose was on-ear, the Quiet Comfort 15 at $300 was over-ear. It was pretty good until I tried the Bang & Olufson H6 at $400 - this over-ear headset is as clear as a very good in-house sound system. I told myself that the B&O was too expensive for me, so started rechecking the other headsets. I was set on getting an over-ear headset as comfort was my first priority. I only had the two choices, the Bose and the B&O. $300 or $400? I decided on the B&O after all - if you're in for $300, why not $400? Audio Review has a review of one model of the Beats, and that review suggested the Beats was heavy on the bass, which I guess you would expect. It also talked about the discomfort, which has been a problem with every set of headphones I've owned save for some old Grados I had years ago. As it now stands the Beats product line looks pretty low-end to me with really big price tags. Still, that's not what marketing is about.

Believe it or not these are what I've been using: amazon.com The above sound so good I'm going to give these a try: amazon.com < $50 if you look around: amazon.com I'm just a little worried my iPod doesn't have enough power to drive them. I might try another version reputed to be more efficient. Both get great reviews. My friend Pierre is a professional musician with multiple thousands of dollars worth of keyboards. I met him because he was wearing the cheapo Sony MDR V150s. Last time I saw him he was wearing Beats but he wasn't impressed by them.
