Munitio MW3 Billets review

i happened to see these on sale at the local Best Buy, so i picked up a pair. (mine were marked down because they were a floor model or something.) now, why exactly did i get these? simple, really: i wanted to try a new brand; one that wasn't Skullcandy. the pair in question cost almost as much as two pairs of Skullcandy, so i figured that was a good sign right off the bat. (when it comes to headphones, i've noticed that when you buy cheaper, you really get what you pay for.)

taking off the white MW3 slip cover revealed a large black box. pulling the red ribbon to slide the headphones out revealed the headphones themselves in a foam card along with 9 extra rubber tips (affectionately referred to as "Silicone Hollow Points" to keep with the bullet theme). as pictured, the extra tips come in plain black, as well as a clear/green to keep with the MW3 colors. the actual earbuds are made from aluminum rather than plastic, which was an immediate plus to me. also, the ends of the headphones have green rings on them (where the primer would be on a real 9mm bullet).

as you can see, the place where the cord splits off to each earbud is inscribed with the MW3 logo with the Call of Duty logo on the other side. this is also a nice touch; the headphones don't scream "LOOK AT ME, I'M A MODERN WARFARE 3 MEGAFAN!!!!!1!!!11!" but still say "yeah, i like MW3." this is actually the only place on the headphones themselves that the game is mentioned.

now, for what headphones are really meant for: sound quality. out of all the pairs of headphones i've ever owned, these sound the best. by far. the bass is noticeable and you don't have to have the volume cranked up to hear it. in fact, the volume level i have on my iPod through my last pair of headphones had everyone around me hearing my music. with these, however, it's only me that hears it. speaking of volume, there's no in-line volume control like i was expecting. there's an in-line microphone and a button to control play/pause and phone calls if you have them hooked into your cell phone.

also included in the box was a carrying case, a warranty booklet, and a registration card (which i can't seem to get to work.) i was expecting the case to say MW3 on it somewhere, but it's just a plain black case. overall, i'm very pleased with these headphones. they seem to be extremely durable, and definitely worth the extra cost. in fact, the only thing i don't like about them is how stiff the play/pause button is. when i hit it twice to skip a song, it often just pauses (as if i only pushed the button once), but i suppose that might vary from pair to pair.

***RATING***- 5/5
