When I was young I was into the whole “Happy Hardcore” scene. The euphoria of huge thumping bass pulsing through a nightclub while you dance is a feeling everyone should have.

In the U.S. right now is another heavy beat movement called EDM. I call EDM, or Electric Dance Music to give it its full title, a movement because it is more than just music. EDM follows the principles of Peace, Love, Unity and Respect and aims to bring these together through music. Although the term EDM isn’t well known on this side of the pond anyone who loves dance music will understand these principles.

The EDM Universe earphones by MeElectronics are designed to embody the ideals of EDM, so let’s see if they do..

Design

There are two main design features that stand out. The first is the dual tone, tangle free, flat cord. The two colours make a striking visual as the cords twist and the available colours are bright and energetic and look great, I think, on women and men alike.

The second feature is the interesting shape of the ear buds themselves. They are designed so they fit comfortably in your ear of course but the design also means they sit flush, showing off the chrome symbol on the side without having too much earphone sticking out.

Of course like most modern earphones the EDM Universe come with an inline volume and microphone which allows you to answer calls on your smartphone. With so many of us using our smartphone as our all in one media device this really is a no brainer.

Overall I really enjoy the design of the EDM Universe. They have the solid feel of an expensive product and the feeling of fun and passion you expect from EDM.

Sound Quality

As you would expect from something built around dance music the Universe earphones are “Tuned for EDM” what that tuning is I don’t know but the sound is much richer than my Beats earphones. While they give the music a bass boost they also give a crystal clear treble sound that makes the whole experience a pleasant one. The EDM use “High Definition Dynamic Drivers” to give the best quality sound no matter what music you are listening to.

I have to say the Universe are now my daily in-earphones at the gym as the snug fit and great sound are the perfect gym companion. No matter what music I am listening to, whether it is a bit of Dub Step for weight training or Electric Dance Music for circuits, these earphones deliver the quality I want.

Conclusion

I love these earphones. I know I tend to be positive in all my reviews, but I enjoy technology so I can always find something nice to say. With the EDM Universe though I have struggled to find a bad word to say at all. For use on a daily basis, weather you are using them to listen to banging dance music or just a vocal podcast, I found them to be almost perfect.
