Bass lovers, rejoice. Munitio has delivered its “Nine Millimeter Earphones” which unapologetically crank up the bass ratio, and do so within an audio scape which sounds fantastic. At $179, the Munitio had better sound fantastic, of course. But while the middle and low end of the earbud price range has a fair number of options which offer a higher than usual bass to treble ratio, this product represents an opportunity for bass lovers to move into the higher-end of the mainstream earbud pricing spectrum. And when it comes to accentuated-bass earbuds, Munitio has the clearest bass of any I’ve ever tested.
However, a couple of things about the Munitio may make you think twice. The product is clearly aimed at users of iPhones and other such devices, as evidenced by the built in microphone and play/pause/answer button. However, it lacks the accompanying volume buttons which are almost always standard these days with any mic-enabled earbuds above the $100 price point. Also, the design of the earbud itself places the rubber right up against the barrel, meaning that the barrel presses up against your ear – a non issue if you have medium to large ear canals, but may be less comfortable than you’re expecting if you have small ear canals.
If you can look past those issues, however, the Munitio represents a rare opportunity to get your hands on bass-accentuated earbuds whose overall sound quality is up in the high end of consumer-level quality. Comes in a choice of silver, gold, or black, and comes with a slim leather carrying pouch as well as a variety of rubber earbud tips.
