There are a couple of benchmarks that are near universal when it comes to getting to the top tier. If you can’t shoot free throws, you don’t belong in the NBA; if you can’t make a V8, you shouldn’t be making full-size trucks; if you can’t make a pair of $100 earphones; you aren’t there. We have written three reviews (here, here and here) about headphones from Empire Brands, all from Wicked. The game has changed a bit and now we examine the flagship line’s top offering: Pure Sounds Pur-1000. We cannot mention how important a good $100 headphone is. Companies can define their legitimacy by one headphone that performs exceedingly at that price; others can earn themselves labels of excuses explaining why their earphone failed. There is no place in the world of headphones more crowded then this segment, there is no place more competitive and there is no place more important. Unless the $100 price point is your lowest offering, chances are if you can’t make it there – you probably aren’t considered anything above third-tier when it comes to portable sound.
To some extent this is a case of “third time’s a charm” – but to a large extent we are befuddled. Today we review the Wicked Audio Empire earphones in the Bones configuration. The Empire model is the top of the line earphone from Wicked Audio, but not from Empire Brands (that comes Friday in case you are wondering…) Despite the mass confusion and loss of thought that regarding these headphones we do believe that these quintessentially define what Wicked Audio set out do and what it did: challenge Skullcandy.
You know you make it big when you are reviewing a product that is virtually non-existent on the internet. Seriously, try to find something regarding the Wicked Reverb online – it’s not exactly easy. To our knowledge the only other page that mentions the Wicked Reverbs, is this post we published five hours ago. What that also means is that this is likely the only thing you are going to find about these headphones – and that is a little concerning, even for us. Just for your sake, we will try to be as thorough as we can about these; and by thorough we mean make up as many lies as we can. So joking aside, here comes a review about a product you can’t even find on Wicked’s website – the Wicked Reverb.
