These different models of headphones have slightly different frequency response, as you can see on the InTune web site. Rap/Hip Hop has more bass. Pop/Easy Listening has a mid boost, and the others are more flat. They could have just as easily given names to these models that reflected that instead of which music they supposedly go with. So think of it as picking what sort of sound shaping you like, which may or may not correlate with what type of music you like listening to, and then get the model that matches that. Maybe you are the kind of person who chooses different EQ settings for each type of music. In that case, get one of the flatter models and an MP3 player with EQ.

In reference to InTune headphones in this article, the idea of different styles of headphones for each style of music clearly was not meant for the average musician or music listener who listens to more than one genre.

However, at the end of the day these seem like a pair of headphones that as long as they fit comfortable and produce sound quality that isn’t “tinny”, I’d be ok with them.
