A $23 pair of Sennheisers http://amzn.com/B003LPTAYI has better sound than any pair of Beats.

My snotty nephew wanted a pair of beats for Christmas, I recommended they get him these instead. He wanted Beats, they got him the beats - he promptly broke them. Money well spent.

They're more of a fashion statement than anything I guess.
