Overall I really like beats headphones. I bought these on a whim today on the way to work. The sound is superb. 10/10 for sound quality. I work as a video editor and to be able to hear those low hissing noises in the audio and being able to remove them was incredible. So why the three stars

Good with bass, not good bass

Comfortable cancels noise not to bad and its beats

The Beats for you

Price; Minimal design; Not as bass heavy as other Beats products; Playback controls work nicely (on iOS

Still clearly skewed towards emphasizing the low end; Build quality is questionable; 3.5mm cable is not removable; Can not skip between tracks on Android; No folding hinges or swiveling ear cups; Uncomfortable headband

Beats is known for two things: bass-heavy sounds and lofty price tags, and while it might not always make the most well-rounded headphones, it certainly makes some of the most popular.

Affordable price tag; Solid sound for the price; Cool; comfortable design

Headphone arms don't fold down; No wireless option; Excessively long cable

With the EP model, Beats delivers a stylish headphone with cable connection and hands-free functionality that should please consumers seeking a balanced sound for playback on mobile devices.

I have always wanted Dr Dre headphones and these do not disappoint. They go back into their box, so I can protect the longevity of them. Bought in red and they really do stand out. Very happy with the huge discount during Black Friday. :)

The earphones sound amazing you can hear everything so cleanly and the bass is great. Onlyv gripe is controls are designed for Apple products and didn't respond correctly on my Samsung phone.

“Though they sound great, the Beats EP are limited by a wire and complete poorly at their price.”

Exceptional sound; Reasonable comfort; Good noise reduction

Durability questions; Wired connection only

As an act of full transparency, I’ve been struggling with how to write about the Beats EP headphones for some time. They are wired headphones and deserve to be treated as such. Yet at the same time, they come with a price tag that puts them closely alongside budget wireless headphones, most of which come with features and capabilities that just aren’t possible with the Beats EP. Perhaps that’s the best way to write about the $130 Beats EP. They’re not the audio juggernauts that higher-end wired options oftentimes are, and they’re not the features-first wireless cans that seemingly surround them. They’re somewhere in between, awkwardly in the middle of two distinct parts of the genre. Truthfully, I could wrap up this section of the review in two words: Not much. Other than the headphones themselves, the contents of the Beats packaging include a foldable carrying pouch, a quick start guide, and a warranty card. Objectively speaking, the minimalist style of the EP packaging isn’t a major ...
