Munitio Tactical 9mm Headphones

By Drew Prindle September 16, 2013

Still sporting the same set of busted-ass earbuds that shipped with your iPod two years ago? If so, it’s probably time for an upgrade; but rather than opting for some run-of-the-mill headphones with bland, uninteresting exteriors, why not spring for something that might land you a few double takes on your way to work? These bullet-shaped headphones from Munitio are just what you need.

Based in San Diego, Munitio designs and manufactures a line of high performance “tactical” headphones, and while that may sound a tad ridiculous, they actually live up to it. Each one of their bullet casing earpieces is individually machined from a solid billet of high-density copper alloy and finished with a coating of titanium, so right out of the box these are some of the most rugged headphones you can get your hands on. I’m pretty sure that if you were in a pinch, you could gut the earbuds, MacGyver together some improvised ammunition, fire it, and still be able to reuse shell casings as headphones. And the toughness doen’t end there – the rest of the headphone assembly is made of noise-isolating silicone earplugs and fabric cables reinforced with Kevlar, so no matter how reckless you get when you rock out to your favorite iTunes playlist, these things can probably survive the beating.

Inside this weapons-grade housing, you’ll find two 9mm neodymium drivers – powerful magnets that give the buds an incredibly precise sound and impressive dynamic range. Munitio claims these badboys sport a frequency range of about 12Hz-20,000Hz, and based on what we’ve heard, that sounds pretty accurate. Thanks to a patented “bass enhancing chamber,” the phones can pump out thunderous, distortion-free bass tones without breaking a sweat, and the mids and highs come through clear and crisp as well.

They’re not quite on par with audiophile earbuds, but what they lack in sound they definitely make up for in style. Check out Munitio’s site to learn more or place an order.

The best Quentin Tarantino movies, ranked – Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and more

If you haven't seen these films at least one time, you need to ... and then watch them again and again

Scene from Pulp Fiction, John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson

Of all the contemporary film auteurs, perhaps no one’s work has permeated pop culture as thoroughly as Quentin Tarantino's. This director’s hyper-stylized, retro fantasy worlds have come to define cinematic coolness. His clever mashups of genres, exquisite sense of aesthetics, impeccable editing, uproarious suspensefulness, and impossibly quippy dialogue have been endlessly imitated.
Given the current political landscape, Tarantino’s work has undergone a serious critical re-evaluation from Black and feminist critics and scholars who point toward both his allegedly abusive behaviors and the offensive politics and rhetoric of his films. It’s true that in this new light, for many, there may be nothing redeemable about his entire oeuvre.
However, to discard all Quentin Tarantino movies would discount the impossible talent of his frequent collaborators and stars, such as Sally Menke (who edited all of Tarantino’s movies until her death in 2010), Uma Thurman (who not only played the protagonist of Tarantino’s most iconic movies but was also credited as a co-writer on Kill Bill), Samuel L. Jackson (a frequent Tarantino star), and many more.
With that in mind, here’s our (subjective!) ranking of the greatest directed Quentin Tarantino movies of all time.

Ranking the 10 best Samuel L. Jackson movies

With so many of his movies to watch, how do you choose the best ones? Here's a list to start

Pulp Fiction Jules Winnfield, Samuel L. Jackson

Samuel L. Jackson absolutely loves to act. How can you argue otherwise? Jackson has appeared in nearly 200 movies in his career, a whopping total that demonstrates his willingness to take on small and large projects, starring and supporting roles. No matter whether Samuel L. Jackson movies are good or bad, you can count on him to make the viewing experience better.

More than just his signature expletives, Jackson is a talented dramatic performer and a witty jokester all in one. We want to celebrate his diverse filmography by ranking the 10 best Samuel L. Jackson films of all time. You'll find violent Tarantino movies, some drama, and even science-fiction work as a purple lightsaber-wielding Jedi.
