Beats' new budget-priced headphone is surprisingly good

2017-01-19
Beats makes plenty of headphones that cost more they're probably worth but it's entry level EP headphone which costs $100 is a surprisingly decent value while this wired on ear model isn't a swanky looking as beats somewhat forgotten executive and pro models thanks to its sturdy metal frame it reminds me of a smaller low frill version of those headphones by low frills I mean it isn't incredibly flashlight and doesn't pull flat or fold up the headphone is available in a few different color options and has an iPhone friendly inline remote flash microphone for making calls adjusting volume and skipping tracks forward and back a simple carrying pouch is also included for an on-ear headphone the EP is comfortable though not as comfortable as it bows on your headphone it's decently cushioned and fits snugly some people might think a little too subtly and I'm not sure these are the best headphones for a person with a really big head I like the way they sounded they're pretty clean and open sounding particularly for an on your headphone and there's enough treble detail to give them some Sparkle the base is a little accentuated this is a beats headphone after all but it's not bloated or boomy you can of course find headphones usually once a cost more that sound a little cleaner more detailed more open and have tighter base but the BTP sounds as good or better than beats own solo 3 Wireless which costs three times as much and delivers good bang for your beats buck so long as you don't line that wire I'm David Connor for cnet.com thanks for watching
