I have owned a few headphones here is my opinion.
Audioque- Great for the money, that being said they are $25 dollars so don't expect the best sound quality or noise cancellation
Beats- Decent sound but not even close to worth the money, I'd probably pay around 30-40 for them
Skull Candy full metal jacket- Greater sound quality and better noise cancellation than beats and AQ Extremley good ~$50 pair of earbuds
Higher priced
Klipse Image s4- Pretty good sound quality but not as much as I expected for the price range, noise cancellation was better but not by enough to make the price difference matter.
Shure SE425's- The best pair i have tried so far, it has dual drivers so you can really hear the difference in highs mids and lows, expensive but if you listen to your headphones all the time these pay off in the end imo.
