We had boguth a set of Beats for my son years ago and when he wanted a blue tooth pair we upgraded him to that and I inherited the older set of Beats. Very nice headphones. I bought an extension cable to make monitoring my recording easier.

The thing about Beats though.... They conduct sound very well, so good that any movement my body made against the cord where it plugs into the headphone was being amplified and heard by me as well in the headphones. So I kept hearing this brushing sound while I was playing/recording and it was driving me up the wall. I never heard it in a recording, so it was all just transmitted within the headphones themselves.

Ear buds don't work with me, I'm too clumsy so I bought the relatively inexpensive AKG k240 Studio headphones. The wire input is higher up on the left side than the Beats and I can't hear any brushing anymore. Problem solved. Going up the food chain isn't always better I guess.
