My boyfriend wants Beats by Dre for his birthday, the over-ear ones. (Studio, Pro or Solo are the names of the over ear ones) But those are way to expensive. What are some over-ear headphones that have just as good quality, but for a lower price?

Answer
Sennheiser HD555
Alessandro MS1

Both are great but have different styles of sound so it's a matter of taste. See head-fi.org, specifically these threads might help: http://www.head-fi.org/search.php?search=ms1+hd555

On those threads you might also see people talking about Grado sr60/sr80 because Grado is the same brand as Alessandro. The MS1 is supposed to be a more neutral headphone than the sr80, and are supposed to be a step up (more similar to the sr125). But if your boyfriend only listens to Rock and hip-hop, then the sr80's might be a better choice. As for the HD555's, they're said to be good for a wide variety of genres.

*Edit*
Yeah the hd280's are good too but they're closed-cup. If he needs his headphones to block some noise then go with the 280's. Otherwise the 555's will sound a little better since they're open-air (except the 280's bass is better because it reverberates off the cup).

Could anybody suggest reasonably priced good sounding earphones?

I am looking for in-ear earphones which are in the 50-70 $ price range in which are durable and has good sound quality. I'm not looking for fashion accessory brands like Skull-candies, Beats by Dr. Dre or even things like Audio-technica. I have tried reading reviews on the Internet about certain earphones such as the 'JVC Victor In-ear Stereo Headphones HA-FXD60-B' or even the A-Jays's but they worry my cuz they have too much of a low price in their origin country (the JVC's from Japan). I'm looking for first hand experiences from these earphones!
Thanks in advance!

I love listening to music, and I consider myself kind of an audiophile. Last week, I tried the Beats Solo HD by Dr. Dre and I was really, really impressed, but they're quite expensive (in my opinion anyways). I could afford them, but I would like it if I could find headphones with similar sound quality and lower price. I know Sennheiser's are great but I can't find any stores that sell them where I live, so if you could tell me other brands I would appreciate it. Thank you very much!

For the money ($200), you can get much better sounding headphones than the Beats by Dre (or other pop artist) line of headphones. Shure SRH750DJ, Shure SRH440, Shure SRH840, Audio Technica ATH-M50, Denon AH-D1100, Phiaton MS400, Ultrasone HFI-580/DJ1, or the Sony XB_00 series ALL have BETTER SOUND QUALITY than the Beats headphones, better QUALITY BASS, BETTER BUILD QUALITY, and they are ALL LESS EXPENSIVE. The Beats headphones really suffer from bass bleed, which makes the mids (vocals) and highs (drums and cymbals) less clear than they could be. Most people who claim the Beats headphones are good haven't even tried other headphones in the same price range so they can't even compare what's good-sounding and what's not good-sounding.

Do your wallet a favor and don't buy the overpriced Beats by Dre headphones, you can get much higher quality headphones in the $200 price range. I once wanted a pair of Beats headphones, but after I tried the Audio Technica ATH-M50's, I chose my mind and decided to go for quality headphones over popular headphones.

Can i check if my headphones are real with the serial number?
