I don’t know about all of you but I use my BlackBerry for my mobile MP3-age. Maybe not all the time, but when I am on the road, or traveling somewhere, I do go about it. Certainly many of you own iPods on the side to handle all your music but in the end everybody uses headphones or earbuds. Over the past month, I’ve been testing out the Wicked Empire Lucky earbuds to see how well they worked on the go in crowded areas, or even in quiet spots zoned out. So we decided to do a quick review here walking through some general specifics on them. Keep in mind we are BlackBerry people, so if there’s anything in the review you’d like to know or want us to add in, kindly drop us a line.

Design:

Wicked Empire has quite a few different styles out, ones with crosses, skulls, and 8-balls like this one here. Fashionably they look good, but we’re not all about the fashion and more into how well they work.

Comfort:

Comfort is important. No one would really appreciate earbuds with thorns sticking out prying at the skin inside your ear while hearing music. That’s a bit dramatic, but you get the idea. The earbuds are really comfortable. Included in the box is spare rubbers that go over in case the originals go bad for you. At first I put them in wrong and was disappointed with the sound, but realized i had them on reversed. Yes it makes a difference.

Quality:

I tried the Wicked Empire Lucky Earbuds with different kinds of music including rock, hip-hop, and techno just to see how the sound would come out. Overall, the treble seems really on point and can get a bit flakey when reaching higher volumes but for the average ears who don’t want the club effect in the ear, it’s no big deal. The bass was good as well, although it doesn’t seem to be so smooth with some tracks that consisted of a lot of back to back base such as techno music.

Overall:

The Wicket Empire Lucky Earbuds give you a really good bang for your buck. Since they retail at only $35, it doesn’t make it all that bad. For those seeking everyday headphones to use on your BlackBerry, laptop, or even iPod, you can’t really go wrong here. Surely there are lots of other earbuds to purchase out there for cheaper, but this is definitely a good consumer product to get at a low premium.
