Munitio Billets 9mm Earphones - Battle Gray

2012-11-14
what's up guys Jays two cents comin at you with the review of the munitia billets nine millimeter headphones and we're gonna find out whether or not these deserve a spot in your ears so stay tuned initio is a fairly new company it's about three years old on the market I had the opportunity of meeting one of the employees at me initio that was at the youch 24-hour black ops 2 livestream I got a chance to get hands-on with a few of these and I went ahead and decided to do a review of the billets because these are a very mid-range headphone they compete with a lot of the other companies out there like beats by dre Skullcandy sony and we're going to determine whether or not these live up to the standard of earphones in this competitive music and gaming industry so we're gonna go ahead and do an unboxing here I have taken off the plastics leaving I've not broken the seal yet on this so we're gonna get some impressions together here on what the packaging and presentation is like and right off the bat I can tell you the presentation is nice it's a nice cardboard box here it's got this red you know fabric here to use as a pullout and look at that I don't know if there's any other company in the market right now that at least right off the bat gives you a presentation like this you've got one two three four five six different inserts for the ear portion that goes into your ear so if you've got small ears big ears medium ears no ears you can customize this to fits your particular style and what's cool about this is not only do you have you know different styles here we have different colors you've got black you've got red you've got you know the mediums got it looks like a singular color there perhaps these are medium on here I haven't checked it but you've also got large you know this is really neat let's go ahead and pop this up here and see what's underneath nice heavy gauge wire here the construction of these are very very impressive they're machine out of billet aluminum hence the name billets but they call these the 9 millimeter because they are shaped like a 9-millimeter casing here and the inserts or the rubber parts that go on here that go into your ear they call their hollow-point and it's pretty neat because they've got some you know color combination going on here you've got this kind of a gray this this particular one that I'm reviewing here they call battle grey and it's got a red let's see if we can pick that up and inside the back here what would be the primer of a bullet they've got some red paint in there that gives a very nice contrast but this aluminum color is very neat let's go ahead and pop off one of the hollow points here and see what the headphone looks like so you've got a nice mesh a very fine mesh filter over the driver itself so this is going to keep you know dirt and debris from getting inside there which is gonna ruin your headphones and this is a very very high quality construction I'm very impressed at least with the way these feel inside the box here you've also got a nice looks it's a hard pouch carrying case it's got plenty of space here for oh look at that forgot to mention they also come with ear hooks so if you're running on a treadmill you're jogging and you're like me and no ear but on the planet wants to stay in your ear you simply take out the ear hook you snap it on the butt end of the headphone here and now you've got over the ear ear hooks this is awesome because my ears headphones don't want to stay inside my ears and you know I work out on a regular basis and I've tried so many different brands and they're constantly falling out of my ear so you can throw these on when you need them and you know take them off when you simply just want to stick this in your ear listen to some music that is a very neat feature I like that a lot inside the box here you've got a you know ammunitiion technically a business card here this is pretty neat nice imprinted logo there for the company munitia Oh calm and then you've got your manual and warranty here speaking of warranty on the back of the box here you've got some product information we've got a 2-year limited warranty from the manufacturer got six sets of the silicon hollow points you got three in black three in red and smoke frequency range of the headphones you've got a twenty Hertz to 20,000 Hertz frequency response range that's a lot of base for a an earbud and I've got to tell you they sound very crisp and clear I was using these to do some editing at the yash livestream event because I forgot my headphones so I had to borrow some and guess what it was a me initio set that I got to borrow and I was immediately impressed the microphone on this thing is a 50 Hertz to a 1600 Hertz and the total weight is 22 grams what's cool about the fact that they're metal construction is they're solid and sturdy but that 22 gram weight these don't feel like they're gonna fall out of your ear they're not you know they're not extremely heavy the wire is very nice and heavy yet it's very flexible so it doesn't tangle up very easily on the wire here let's go ahead and undo this so right here coming out of your right ear you've got you know you've got your your mute switch and it does work on an iPhone I went ahead and tested that because as you know some of these controls do not work on Apple product you got the microphone right here on the back side and farther down the wire here you've got a nice metal Y splitter where the you know right and left split off so this isn't gonna tear or split on you it's nice and sturdy and this is made out of aluminum also one last thing I want to point out here the actual jack itself as you can see the three-and-a-half millimeter is very thin at the base so if you've got a case on your iPhone like I do here on my iPhone you can see where a lot of complaints people have when it comes to the the cases is the hole around the microphone jack is too small so most microphones don't fit in and if you look right here this fits no problem whatsoever it doesn't even touch the case it fits perfectly in there so I'm gonna go ahead and pull out the earbuds I'm currently using right now and these are Skullcandy 50 50 s these are about a $50 headphone this is plastic the drivers look very similar when you take off the earbud piece but look at how thin look how thin these wires are and they're very flimsy I did forget to point out is this is simply a mute switch there is no volume up or down on this control on the minutiae OHS but look how easily this tangles I did not tangle this up for the point of this video I have these wrapped up in a circle to fit inside these Skullcandy case and this is the way it came out and then it's a nightmare to untangle it and then you can see right here where the Y splitter is this is rubber and this is my second set of skull candies and I've had this wear out before because if you're jogging or running on a treadmill you know you tend to get a little tend to get a little overzealous you catch that with your arm and you're gonna tear a thin wire like this I mean these are just too thin heavy gauge wire here doesn't tangle up and look at how easily this just slides apart because it's got kind of a I don't want to say slippery but it's smooth whereas the skull candies are rubberized and they just they catch on each other so hope you've enjoyed this review of the minissha billet 9 millimeter headphones these are available at munitia accom there's several other retailers you can find out on their
