Found this on Amazon

Sound is Fashion Heartbeats by Lady Gaga are holistically designed to deliver the soundtrack of your life with clarity and power, as well as satisfy your passion for fashion. Immerse yourself in pitch-perfect highs, precise mids, and club caliber bass. Because when your music sounds amazing, you stop hearing it, and start feeling it. In other words, sound really matters. Plus, Lady Gaga didn't just style-check Heartbeats, she created the design to ensure they look like no other headphone out there. Sound Matters Because the Music Matters A great song transcends sound. It has the power to move you to tears—or the dance floor. And the better your music sounds, the more emotional it is. Heartbeats faithfully reproduce artists' vocals and the music behind them, so you can hear the heart felt emotion your favorite singer wants to share with you. Get ready to experience your music like never before. Feel Every Note of Today's Hottest Digital Music These days music is recorded and mixed in a super advanced environment. We designed Heartbeats by Lady Gaga to let you experience every bit of the energy and creativity today's hottest artists put into their digitally recorded music. The amazing hit of the deep bass. Pitch perfect highs and lows. You'll feel more power and hear more details in your favorite music that you didn't even know were there. Flat Cables by Monster: No Tangles, No Tears. Thanks to Monster's exclusive flat cable design, Heartbeats are tangle free. Bye bye, bird's nest.

So... they probably suck. The funny thing is if you click technical details on Amazon you get "technical details" thet are unimportant. All you get is this:

Thats my one complain on the 7506. That, and they fall off every 10 seconds. Do the DT 250 fit better?

Much better. It seems to have improved sound a bit. I guess since there's a bit more airspace perhaps for the drivers with thicker foam. I never had a problem with them falling off.

for sure, then you see the price tag and have to try them solely because you are wondering where they place the value (marketing obviously.)

Exactly. Anyone buying headphones based on an affinity for Lady Gaga probably won't know the difference anyway. Any brand with brains that makes a quality product also makes a low end version for the masses. Aiming strictly for the "in-the-know" crowd is a short-sighted business approach.

I've always wanted to try the 5's, but been afraid to at the same time, because I knew if I did I'd have to have them. I've been using the 3's for a couple years now, and been very happy.
