Our Verdict

Beats EP

Audio-Technica ATH-M60x

The Beats EP and the Audio-Technica ATH-M60x have different strengths. The Beats have an in-line remote that makes using them with iOS devices and mobile phones a little easier. They also have a slightly more compact and sturdy build quality, although not by much since they don't fold into a more compact format. On the other hand, the Audio-Technica come with three audio cables that make them more suitable for a studio setting. They're also not as tight on the head as the Beats. Finally, the Audio-Technica have a slightly more balanced sound that some listeners may prefer over the EP's.
