Looking for some good headphones for my laptop, I've narrowed my options down to these two which were recommended by friends and still within my budget: Bowers & Wilkons P5 or Beats by Dr. Dre Studio
Headphone: B&W or Beats?

Are those your only options?
I'd assume your price is around the $350 mark. If that's the case you can get the Sennheiser 598 cans and a NuForce Icon uDAC-2.
Dare I say it would be quite the improvement over the two listed above.

Sennheiser. Beats are just a big marketing ploy. You can get much better ones for the price.

I've heard a lot of stories of beats snapping very easily
they look like they would. the band doesn't look strong.

Thanks for all the replies, I will definitely check out the Sennheiser headphones. I have a friend who works at a local electronic store and he recommended the B&W and can get me a discount, hopefully the store also sells Sennheiser's. The Beats are pretty much off the table now I think.

Beats are overpriced and sound crap compared to similarly priced offerings. Good move dropping them out your choices
If you want the low down on sound, head over to www.head-fi.org
With that budget there are a lot of options and configurations, choose what suits your needs or requirements, be it noise cancellation/no leakage, soundstage, clarity, bass, mid range... and so on.
