Radius Atomic Bass Earphones review (Black)

The Atomic Bass earphones' understated design is further promoted by the supercompact size of the 'buds. Even users with smaller-than-average ears should have no problem achieving a relatively secure and comfortable fit. Radius includes three sizes of silicone ear tips, and I had no trouble getting a good fit with the smallest of these. I found the earphones to be comfortable after more than two hours of wear. However, I noticed that although the earbuds form a noticeable seal with the ear, they provide below-average noise isolation. Of course, this isn't an advertised feature, but it's something for commuters to keep in mind.

On the whole, the sound quality provided by the Atomic Bass earphones was fairly good during testing. They certainly live up to their claim of providing an extended bass response--the low end really thumps and is truly encompassing. If bass is the most important thing for you, then you'll probably love the sound. Electronica, pop, and certain hip-hop really shined. Mids are nice and warm, and there's a good amount of high-end detail. However, clarity isn't the greatest. Several songs suffered from muffled, muddled audio--notably, hard and fast rock. Even some hip-hop sounded as if it was coming from under a layer of water. Still, if you crave tons of bass and want to spend less than 50 bucks to get it, the Atomic Bass earphones are a solid choice.
