How much are beats headphones and the sound?

How much are a pair of beats headphones? I imagine they are expensive, but are they worth it? Do they have really good sound?

For now all we know is that they are targeting a non audiophile audience. I haven't heard them so I can't possibly comment on how good or bad they sound. If you want headphone advice here ask a different question. I have noted people on this site seem to like Sennheiser (?sp) among several others, AKG which I use etc.. There is of course the Hed-fi.org site if you want a more headphone centric discussion group. I would be surprised if they haven't discussed Beats.

Maybe it required a headphone amp but what I heard it was kind of blah sounding. My favorite headphones are the AKG K-701s and a BeyerDynamic DT-770 600 Ohm with headphone amplification of course.
