depends on the beats on most of them it's way to much bass, and most beats are bass heavy haven't tried the new models but what you need for mixing and mastering is a neutral, flat headphone no color or heavy on any frequency maybe treble heavy could be good so you notice thing easly

They are the Apple of headphones because Apple acquired them back in 2014.

Not for mixing.

Beats and most headphones will be bass and treble heavy, BAD for mixing. You want something with little to no flavor, Audio Technica M50X are great for this and are considered standard by most industries for mixing.

Go to checkout... look at the date. Amazon is VERY strong about their shipping dates and if it isn't their by the date they will do something ect

You haven't said what's available where you're shopping, so it's hard to recommend anything. I'm not going to call out random headphones just to have you say they aren't carried.
