In reality, unless you have a trained ear, these 'hi fi, monitoring, flat response, etc.' terms won't mean anything to you. What really matters is your hearing / sound sensitivity and no brand or tag price will ever give you that.
Some of the best albums have been produced on shitty speakers/ sound systems by people that knew how their setup sounded and were able to compensate their mix to balance the response.
We are all quick to jump and say "buy this one, because is better!'
My suggestion, avoid Dre Beats or Bose and try some of the brands mentioned here, make sure they are comfortable because if you are going to wear them for long periods of time, they can hurt your ears.It's good to have big cups that sit around your ears without touching them, some people have bigger ears some smaller so I doubt there's a formula.
Someone said avoid Sony, not sure why, I switched to Sennheiser recently but the Sony MDR V600 are as common as the NS-10 on recording studios worldwide, so I doubt they are THAT bad.
One thing is for sure, Dr. Dre never wears Beats® when the cameras are off.
