Peculiar and attractive are two adjectives which aptly describe the aesthetics of Zook Musicana ZM-Rocker RDX I1. The earbuds which seem inspired by the marine life of shy creatures and their shelly homes, may attract women more than men and host “Extreme Bass” feature. It comes with an in-line remote with microphone, single-button and volume slider.
Flaunted proudly on the box of Zook ZM-Rocker RDX I1 Extreme bass seems to be a misunderstood jargon by the company. The bass is flabbergasting, ad literally extreme on ears. In no way do low frequencies on this pair of earphones sound pleasing. They are oppressive. The reason we assert this is because the bass is excruciatingly loud, but not profound. The loud bass contributes in muffling the mids and shadowing treble.
If you listen to genres with a significant number of instruments, you are likely to miss out on tones originating from a lot of them. Even during calls, the audio is dominantly bassy and may irritate you while trying to hear important information. Reducing the volume doesn’t remedy the troublesome bass as it gets thicker and muffled on low volume.
The inline microphone and buttons work without hassle and the build is sturdy. You can even wear it like a necklace, given the unique design, when you’re not using them. It retails for Rs. 499, and feels premium or the price. The sound and overwhelming bass fail to impress, lest you can cease listening to music with less bass.
