If I'm spending lots of money on electrical equipment, I want to do my research and make sure I'm getting the best product for what I want.

Your average teenager who has bought Beats hasn't bought them for the sound, they've bought them because Monster have done a great job of creating the demand for Beats (they also resort to flat out lying in their marketing btw). Typically, Beats owners will say the sound is amazing; it's probably amazing relative to what Beats owners usually use -- which is Apple's stock headphones that cost about 2p to manufacture.

Anyone even one step close to being an audiophile wouldn't touch these fuckers with a barge pole, go on Head-Fi or another audio website, nobody on there is going to recommend a pair of these, these guys > average Joes with a MORE BASS PLZ!!!111! attitude to music. Dre himself doesn't even use Beats to produce, here's a pic of him in studio using £130 Audio Technica ATH-M50's:
