High quality MP3 players alone do not translate to high quality sound output through their stock earphones supplied; many are oblivious to the fact that the supplied earphones that come with your audio device is very less likely to be as specialized as your audio device would be when it comes to the quality of the sound output. So, most of the discerning listeners out there who never compromise on the quality of music would know, the importance of pairing their precious audio device with the best sounding earphones, which would compliment the sheer pleasure their device is capable of producing. Atomic Floyd is one company known for churning out high quality headphones and in-earphone, and we are going to look at their latest offering – the SuperDarts.
What is it?
SuperDarts in-earphones by Atomic Floyd is a pair of great sounding earphones that not only look fabulous but equally sound fabulous too. The quality of the earphone is first-grade with its metallic enclosure, constructed with top quality materials, and its cable is kevlar wrapped with a redesigned mic and controller so to not slap against you while you are on the move or run. The ear buds are made out of stainless-steel enclosures with two individual speakers on either sides, which translates to two mini speakers for each side of the ears, enabling it to deliver crisp and crystal clear sound across the frequency spectrum of sound.
Key features
The Atomic Floyd SuperDarts earphones have 2 inline speakers on either sides, delivering rich and clear sound even at lower volume. It is also fitted with an inline remote on the cable, which allows one to change the volume, play/pause the song and take calls with its in-built microphone.
It features Super Charged Bass technology, a pair of dedicated bass drivers that deliver deep, resonant, clear and punchy bass for a rich sound experience. The ear-cups are fitted with dual injected silicone ear-tips that block off external noise to a great level, which enables the listener to hear every note and musical instruments crystal clear devoid of external noise.
The durability of SuperDarts is top notch, made of steel, titanium, gold and kevlar, which makes it ideal for rugged conditions or to those people who might not be so good at keeping their valuable possessions with care. We can easily assume that this pair of earphones could easily outrun the life of your audio device if kept safely.
Whatâs innovative?
The torpedo looking metallic in-earphones are not made just to look solid, in fact, they are very solidly built with the use of reinforced metals like steel, titanium, gold, and the use of kevlar cable enables them to take hard beatings round the clock. The use of kevlar material for cables brings relief to many of us who could easily get annoyed with the task of untangling earphone cables every time we pick them from storage, as they tend to tangle badly. Say good bye to tangled cables forever with SuperDarts.
The most innovating feature of SuperDarts is their compatibility with Apple devices, as one can use its built-in mic and music control features to play/pause songs or take/reject calls.
Price and availability
A pair of Atomic Floyd SuperDarts earphones will cost you 199.95 pounds and is available on the Apple store – UK, and on Atomic Floyd’s online store. For those of you who stay outside UK, will have to buy the earphones from their online store and get it shipped to your country.
The up side
The SuperDarts earphones are solidly built, made to last forever in literal terms, and gives an instant premium feeling while you hold them in your hands and to back this, they are made up of premium quality materials like steel, titanium, kevlar and gold; clearly not your regular pair of earphones.
The uniqueness of this device isn’t limited just to its built quality but excellently compliments its ability to produce some amazing sound experience. They provide thumbing balanced super charged bass performance, sure to awe bass loving listeners, but it is not just the bass that performs exceptionally well, they are equally capable to produce one of the best mid-range and high-range sound experience.
The down side
As the expression goes ‘nothing is perfect’, so is SuperDarts earphone; They are quite pricey, out of reach for many. And, they are compatible only with Apple devices, this makes their remote feature quite useless with non-Apple devices. They can also be considered fairly heavy.
The bottomline
Great sound quality, great construction quality, great additional functionality to play/pause music, take/reject calls, but if you do not own an iPhone or any of other Apple products that can play music, you are pretty much left with its additional features useless. The price might sound steep, but this is what you pay for an experience that is equally steep and excellent.
