Beats by Dr. Dre - Beats EP Headphones - Black

I did a review on Solo3, wish they still had an option for wired and not made you pay for the wireless ones. Anyway, the only new wired and "affordable" option are the EPs. I personally like the streamline design, the headband feel strong and flexible when twisted. Might even be more sturdy than the Solo line because of this. However, the biggest issue I have is the cable is not removable. Why?!? Guess not a huge deal, but if mic breaks on the cable (which happens A LOT), I would like to be able to simply replace a cable and not the whole headphones or go without. Sound is pretty good to, close to if not on par with the Solo line. However, even though I kind of like the design, my daughters and their friends do not and call them cheap. While they are less then the other more overpriced lines of Beats, $80-$120 is not a cheap. Being Beats, they are still overpriced. However, being the only wired set you can currently but (excluding earbuds), they are the best value Beats has.

My wife told me about the Deal of the Day were these Beats EP On Ear Headphones. At first, I was hesitant because I prefer Bose headphones for overall sound quality. Over the years I've tried several Beats headphones in the store and have never been impressed due to the messy, muddy sound. I decided to take the leap and purchase these headphones because it was a great deal for only $65 and I have been in the market for some quality on ears for some time now. I'm so glad that I got them. They are definitely a steal for under $100. I honestly couldn't see myself paying more than $100 for them though. They are very clear, comfortable and very well built. I am very impressed with how far Beats has come. I'm still going to stick to Bose because I love all of their products but I'll be giving Beats a second chance from now if they're on sale. I would have liked to give them 4.5 stars because I feel like you still miss out on some of the higher notes in the music but again these are fantastic headphones nevertheless. I got the black set and they look awesome. Good job Beats!

I had been looking forward to buying​ beats headphones since they came out. But due to price had to wait it out for a great deal to come along. I love and appreciate Best Buy for their prices and quality merchandise. I like their friendly staff too. I finally had a good job with good pay so to treat myself I did my research on Best Buy.Com. I was very excited to see beats on sale under a hundred dollars so off I went to buy them. They also match my company uniform lol. I paid one price they went down a few days later I came back to the store for a price adjustment and got an even better deal so juiced. I even went in the pouring down rain that day but worth every penny..... Awesome. I even let my co-workers listen they were so excited to hear how they sound too. I've gotten my money worth and some thank you Best Buy for selling such a great product. I never leave home without them so I don't hear all the noise on the bus to and from work daily. I've even been asked and complimented by strangers that they like them too. Even better they are special edition too. Well that's my story I love how my Pandora subscription sounds through the headphones. I will continue to shop Best Buy in the future.

I have had these less then a year. The insert to the phone broke, after about 2 weeks. Once this problem was solved, the microphone stopped working. I sent them in twice to be repaired. the mic was finally fixed, used them for another week or two, and the insert to the phone virtually fell apart upon removing it. I believe they are designed poorly, the cord and insert is the problem. I rang apple again to repair them, as they are still on warranty, they refused and said exterior force had broken them. Well, it takes exterior force to remove them from the phone! Apple told me it would cost 79$ to repair them. So, i will not recommend this product. For most of the past 10 months they have been broken, and with Apple refusing to repair them, they will remain that way. I am extremely disappointed with the product and with the customer service provided by apple.

I purchased these headphones for my son's 15th birthday. He originally wanted the wireless $300 ones but let's just say he isn't the most responsible child. Having said that, when I gave him the headphones he was very happy and I explained this would be a test for the more expensive ones. He was very understanding (though I may have needed to check his temperature) and ok with my decision. The next day when I arrived home from work he thanked me again for the headphones and stated that these were the best headphones he ever had and didn't see the need for the more expensive ones. He stated the sound was so clear and it blocked out outside noises (which now I can't get him to take them off of his head, especially when it's time to clean and garbage night, Overall, I am pleases with my purchase. I got them for 50% off and I was able to use my $10 rewards certificate which saved me a ton. I gave it 4 stars because I haven't used but I'm quite sure my son would give them a 10. If you are looking to save and have great quality I would say this is the way to go.

I purchased 2 pair of these headphones 1 blue 1 black, within the first week I had to toggle the cord on the blue pair to get the sound to play in both headphones. By week 2 I was experiencing the same problem with the Black pair. Along with the aggravation of having to toggle on the cord to get the sound to play the bass is not what you would expect from Dre beats. I'm not sure if I just so happen to be the person that bought 2 pair that had the same problem or if this is a technical issue on this model headphones. Now the kicker is the headphones are never really comfortable in after about 1 hour they go from uncomfortable to painful. I had purchased the solo's a few years back from hh greg in I had a overall wonderful experience with those. I ordered 2 pair of Studio's earlier today so I'm hoping to have a better experience.

These headphones are absolutely perfect! I bought them and was a little skeptical because of the reasonable price of $130, especially since most Beats by Dre headphones are pretty overpriced just because of the brand. When I tried these, I was VERY surprised at the quality of them. First of all, they're bendable (stretchy headband), they're comfortable, have a nice design, have the iPhone remote which works with Apple obviously and even Android phones, and finally have the sound quality to match the brand name! The bass is still strong but not overwhelming, and the treble and clarity is much improved and the headphones sound FAR better than the older Beats. They sound good with every genre of music, especially rock, pop, and rap. And they cancel noise better than most earphones even though they're not actually noise cancelling.

I never considered myself part of the "Beats demographic". I don't like overly bass-y music (except for some Underworld now and again) or equipment that is voiced that way. Anyway, after reading a few reviews on these 'phones, I decided to pull the trigger...and the price was nice too. So far, I'm really happy with the sound quality. I have an EQ app on my iPhone, so I can dial-down the bass if I want. The sound is full and rich, and the bass is punchy. Build quality is first-rate. My only quibble...the ear-pads can get a little uncomfortable after a few hours of listening. I haven't had on-ear headphones for a LONG time, so maybe they all cause fatigue eventually. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase.
