OUR VERDICT
The Beats EP are Beats headphones for the masses. Offering a more balanced sound and cheaper price tag than their big brothers, they appeal while still offering that iconic logo that’s so coveted by many. They’re not perfect, but for the price they’re a solid offering.
FOR
- Affordable price tag
- Solid sound for the price
- Cool, comfortable design
AGAINST
- Headphone arms don’t fold down
- No wireless option
- Excessively long cable
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.
The Beats EP are something different from the now Apple-owned brand though. Sure, bass is still given preferential treatment, but there’s a more balanced sound to these on-ear offerings.
They’re also impressively priced, with their £89.95 ($99.95, AU$139.95) price tag making them the cheapest on-ear Beats by far, and the company’s first cans to creep under that all important $100 barrier.
