Go for the HD555's if you're not a bass-head.
Beats by Dr.Dre or...

The Beats are not bass heavy at all. The reason why people think it's bass heavy is because of the Dr. Dre / rap association + that when people try them in stores such as Best Buy and Apple stores, they are heavily bass EQ'ed to suit the potential demographic. They lean towards the bass but are not bass and bass only.
Anyway OP,
What's your music tastes?
Budget?
How are you going to use it?

Have you considered in-ears? Is this for use on portables such as a mp3 player or at home or both?

Headroom will price match to close to Amazon levels, and they do international shipping. Find any HD595 on Amazon and use Headroom's 'best price guarantee' to submit it for a price match, you'll get an email back (likely) saying that they won't match that price, as the Amazon store is not an authorized dealer, but they will offer you a price much lower than their official list price. I just got a pair of HD595s shipped for $195, wheras their list price was $260ish.

There isn't exactly a lot of choice when you live in Canada. Even though I got "ripped off", I still saved almost $100 compared to the cheapest Canadian store, both online and brick and mortar. :/

Only $83.80 for the HD 555's at Amazon when you add it to your cart! I just picked up a pair this week and they sound awesome. I listen to Hardstyle a lot which has a lot of bass, but I'm going to wait and break them in to get better bass instead of returning them.
