What should I do[edit | edit source]
Aside from going to a store, using your ears and trying the headphones you can use the graphs on this site:

And learn what they mean with their guide to headphone statistics:
http://www.headphone.com/learning-center/about-headphone-measurements.php
Please bear in mind that these graphs can not accommodate things such as comfort, looks and the padding the headphones have (think about it, wearing leather pads for an hour, combined with loud music, can make you sweat - velour pads are much more suitable). Also you shouldn't be worried about looks, unless you are maybe considering some headphones for public use (in which case you aren't worried about sound quality so much as isolation).
Beats, Bose and Skullcandy are not worth it.
The Informational_Images section of this wiki also has some headphone guides
