I just need good headphones for my DJ work. I am sick of using my bass-less headphones (Sony Psyc).

Answer
Based on my personal experience I would go with these headphones that are designed for DJ use, in this particular order according to best sound:
1. Technics RP-F550 $34.99
2. American Audio HP-500 $49.99
3. Gemini DJ DJX-05 $39.95
4. Behringer HPX-4000 $34.99
5. Stanton DJ PRO-60 $39.95
6. Behringer HPX-2000 $19.99
I find the HPX-2000 at $19.99, to be the best overall budget DJ headphones that still dish out pretty good bass and decently defined sound. However on my opinion, at the below $50 price range, the RP-F550, has the best sound. Technics also makes the best DJ turntables known to man.
Due to the rather extreme conditions that we DJ's must sometimes work in, like a hot and humid club, a constantly dark environment, things like sweat, frequent dropping, accidentally disconnecting and stepping on the headphones or headphone cord shortens the lifespan of even the most expensive DJ headphones. At $19.99 these HPX-2000s are a nice, affordable and easily replaced DJ staple for me.
Also, I advise against getting any headphones that have the word "studio" unless you will be using it in a recording studio capacity. Studio headphones are designed to give an unenhanced accurate sound reproduction of recordings for studio monitoring purposes. However Dj headphones are the complete opposite, and enhance the audio especially bass frequencies, so that any music you hear will sound like it's on steroids. So be forewarned that the Sony MDR-XD200 is a studio monitor headphone.

Answer
The Monster Jamz Headphones have basically been designed to address the economy range of the headphone market, and if you simply want the best then you can explore their gold or copper series of In-Ear Speakers. However, for the price, these headphones do provide a really tight bass along with distortion-free mid-range and highs. The bass is such that your head does not feel that it will explode while the mids and highs complement the overall sound in a slightly mild-mannered but really clear way. The sound emancipating from these headphones provides decent depth without sounding flat or harsh. However, although you will receive multiple sized ear-tips that are quite comfortable, you will need to improvise in case the ear-tips do not fit comfortably in your ears or do not manage to seal outside sound in an efficient manner.
