Conclusion and Verdict
In conclusion, I was impressed with the look of the carbon fiber and the comfortable ear cups of the AtomicX V201. The headset consists of a lot more plastic than I was hoping for. Although this does make the headset extremely light. I always wonder about durability with that much plastic. I flexed and twisted these and never encountered an issue, so I don’t think the plastic will be an issue, but I like to have more metal incorporated into the structure of the headset.
Now how about that sound? The sound was good. I do think the V203 carried a slight edge in the bass department. The AtomicX V201 can carry its own weight though. The same as the last headset is the interesting feature, the active noise cancelling switch, that produces a white noise that cancels out the background noise. Now with every headset I test I will be doing the hum test if they claim to be noise cancelling. What I noticed is when the switch is not active and you hum with the headset on you get that feedback resonating in your ears. With the switch active you don’t have a reverberating feeling when you are humming. Plus you get a little extra bass to boot. Call quality is good and the sound at max volume is very good. There is a little distortion with the bass at full volume. All-in-all a very rounded well performing Bluetooth Headset.
The AtomicX V201 can be found at Amazon and other various e-tailers for $89 USD. Buy now at Amazon – https://goo.gl/5H6dxz

Final thoughts:
The AtomicX V201 is a very comfortable headset that has very cool carbon fiber look. I was once again impressed with the iDeaUSA brand. These guys are making quality products and standing behind their statements. Give the AtomicX V201 a look if you want a headset that can function well as a music player, gaming headset, or even a hands-free calling device.
