Atomic Floyd

World class in-ear acoustics

Sorry about that, we were shouting.

We had our £200 Atomic SuperDarts in-ear phones in, so we did. They are so crystal clear you can't hear any ambient sounds, which not only explains why we got run over by a bus earlier (joke), it also explains why the music collection on our iPod has got a renewed sense of sonic vigour. It's all so crystal clear now.

- We were listening to Frank Ocean earlier, sprayed our Capri orange and started to pile Novacane into our gobs.

- We then listened to Bruce Spirngsteen, got an urge to buy cowboy boots and started building a hotrod.

- And then, well, we don't need to tell you what happened when we started listening to Scissor Sisters...

Overall, it has been a painful and eye-opening journey since we've had our awesome new SuperDarts, if only we could listen to the whole world though them, it would probably all sound so much sweeter.

Ah well, next time. Here's some specs, buy some for Christmas for someone and they will love you forever. Or at least, their ears will. Apple think so too, that's why they stock them...

> SuperDarts begin with dual drivers, meaning that there are four speakers inside instead of the standard two found in most other earphones. This adds a remarkable textured sound; the trademark Atomic Floyd crystal- clarity given the additional ‘muscle’ of the deepest, warmest most resonant low frequency notes currently available in a compact earphone product.

> New inline stainless steel remote/mic (now available across the entire range) provides full control of playback and volume, and seamless switching between music and chat (with full iPhone and iPad compatibility).

> SoftSeal silicone eartips create total comfort and fit, and ensure 2-way noise isolation to block out background noise so you hear every note and every word with no leaks, no spills and no dirty looks from those around you.

> The high performance anti-tangle Kevlar cable does exactly what it says it does, whilst the armored, gold- plated plug with steel body casings ensure that SuperDarts are also the last word in endurance and unstoppability.
