How does these perform against Beats Solo HD, Fanny Wangs and even the Audio Technica SJ series?

I think very poorly for the beats series in general, and yes I have used them in the past.
I have no experience with Fanny Wangs, however what I do know about them is they're more respected than the Beats series.
And I have a heard few of the SJ series, being a AudioTechnica fan.
First things first these are monitoring headphones, so unlike Beats, the somewhat emphasized bass doesn't mud up everything. They're very clear, as monitoring headphones should be. These are circumaural headphones and most of the ones listed are on ear. This allows more passive noise cancellation, and in my opinion a better more comfortable fit. This tight fit also brings out a more natural bass sound, as opposed to it being somewhat forced and sloppy like on the beats.
The SJ series is more of a consumer middle market targeted headphones and these are better suited for professionals and people who are a little more serious about their cans. The bass is comparable to the SJ series, perhaps a little more, but it is not overstated. The PRO5's are certianly more rugged too.
Like I said, these are not better than the M50's but they are half the price, and for the quality, they should be at least 3/4 the price. I ultimately sold these because I wanted them to be my bass head cans and while they were my bassiest headphones at the time, they arn't bass head cans. But as bass favoring all 'rounder headphone for 85 bucks or whatever you can purchase them for now? They're terrific.

Long story short I would rather have these over all of those, all though they may give the Fanny Wangs a run for their money- I've yet to try them.
Fanny Wangs are a little ugly last time I checked. The camo version of these got me a lot of compliments.
