as I heard beats headphones are like apple, lots of shine, but performance is not so good.

Not like Apple at all.Most Apple products last real long.
I still have a perfectly working 3gs and almost 4 year old MBP(it still runs like a champion on Mountain Lion)
Regarding Beats,Solo HD was very bad but the Studio sounded pretty good to me(but grossly overpriced)
Beats are good looking but not sturdy at all,but most of their headphones are not that bad as they are made out to be.
Hugely hyped phones like Audio Technica M50(people even compare them with the legendary hd25!!)lsounds much worse than Beats Studio.
But the Solo is a very poor sounding phone.

Not that, but a 10k headphone will beat a 10k beats(if one came in 10k), for example under 10k I'd suggest everyone either Audio Technica M50, Grado SR125i, Senn HD558 or Denon D1100, not beats.

I would suggest VModa M80 or M-Audio
Q-40 or even CAL! over M50.
Vocal sounds horrendous in M50!

If denon 1100 is out of budget you can go for d510. Other than that its hard to find good bass heavy closed cans within this budget. There are lots of choices for open cans but they wont offer you much bass.

One more option I can currently think of is Koss DJ PRO100, They have decent mids, not much bass but definitely a choice.

Or for other option consider Sony MDR-XB700... very comfortable, high bass, not so good mids.

Have not tried that particular Senny but that ZX700 is decent(only the highs are a bit piercing)Pair up with a dark sounding Amp/DAP.

Yes,the soundstage is not big(almost all closed hps have smallish sound stage)
but it is not congested at all,instrument separation is pretty much ok for the price.

^^ Its currently out of stock in India, this website sells them: *www.proaudiohome.com/

You can order from amazon, they ship to India, but you may have to pay customs. Plus amazon shipping charges to India are abysmal.

Hey guys, I was thinking of picking up a 3-4 K range headphones.

I see that PN has bumped the price of ATH-M35 to 4.8K :|

I have other options here and there..
Denon AH-D310 Headphone - 3 K Flipkart
ATH-M20 - 2.9 K PN
ATH-AD300 - 3.4K PN

I will be heading over to a place where I hopefully will get a demo. Also recommend a Sennheiser headphones .. ill keep a watch on this thread via tapatalk. will buy M35 immediately if within 3.5-4K (other wise whatever you recommend) .. I got about 1hr till I go to that showroom.

EDIT: bought Denon AH-D310 for Rs. 2990. Thanks for helping :evil:
