Headphone Review: X-RAY YANKEE ZULU’s budget conscious with bass
Posted 7:20 am on Thursday, July 19th, 2012 by Steve Ahmad
The Wicked Audio X-Ray Yankee Zulu headphones are a great pair to buy if you are looking for a pair that has the bass to drive your tunes on a budget price. At $19 this Wicked Audio line are sturdy in hand, have a wired volume controller, and have a design to stand out from the rest.
Packaging
Simple and neat. This line makes a clean impression with some cool gimmicks. You are a “Stealth Awesome” member of an elite group. You believe these headphones will make all your X-Ray Yankee Zulu black-op initiatives a success. Hand these off to any teenager or young one and he or she will be thrilled to get some cool headphones and at the same time feel part of an elite group in their own right!
Tech/Features
A LIFETIME warranty, in-line volume control, 4 ft. cord, ear insulation, and two 40mm drivers. The bass is heavy but mids and lows are standard.

Hands On
Nicely padded ear cushions to keep you from aching but no headband cushion provided for that extra comfort. The circumference of the ear phone is a bit small so some sound does leak. This shouldn’t be too big of a deal with the two 40mm drivers kicking enough bass that you wont be able to tell. The ear pieces rotate 180 degrees for a guaranteed fit to any head shape. The plastic build is sturdy and can take a little beating from the casual user or some serious gaming sessions of a pro.
Overall
An inexpensive alternative to great sounding headphones. Cool design decals and heavy on the bass features gives this rigid pair something to brag about. Don’t expect extreme comfort and ultimate sound performance coupled with non-fatigue when wearing these, but if you are on a budget, want to flash some swag, and like to listen to heavy bass sounds, this pair is perfect for you.
