Munitio earphones just might be the Cadillac of earbuds. Annie Scott called the 18k gold version "double-take worthy" and now I can personally vouch that the SITi S Nine Millimeter Earphones are even more drool-inducing.

Encased in extreme industrial grade titanium for natural noise canceling and beauty as well as its high level of durability and safety (it's the same stuff NASA uses in high performance applications), the earphones feel surprisingly heavy in the hand (a little like actual bullets) but they all but disappear in the ears -- once sizing is adjusted of course. The sound is crisp, deep, and beautiful, which is presumably in large part due to the custom tuned AccousticSoundFlowSystem™, BassEnhancingChamber™, and SiliconeHollowPoints™ technology, as well as the 9mm speaker drivers with rare earth neodymium magnets for superior dynamic range and quick recovery. And it's probably worth mentioning that since I got my review unit they've released a new BLK version that comes with a microphone.

In terms of design they are very much on the masculine side but the black-and-silver color scheme combines with the etched eagle pattern on the highly shined surface to lend them a definite hardcore rocker look that a woman could easily work with, and the Kevlar-reinforced fabric cables (meant to keep the wires from stretching and shorting) are a nice touch. They also come in some seriously tight packaging -- a little round box packed with layer upon layer of nifty little accessories including a small leatherette carrying case with tension closure. The SITi S Nine Millimeters sell for $159.
