The Perfect Integration of Form and Function
V-MODA, the music lifestyle brand that owes its allure to the fusion of fashion and function, introduces its passion for music and style to the world with our innovative line of "modaphones". The pinnacle experience of music is interwoven with supreme style in these premium fashion-phones that sound as amazing as they look. The Vibe series of earphones comprises the signature example of the V-MODA line, combining for the first time a meticulously-crafted sound signature with a conscious eye towards modern design.

V-MODA's "Sculpted Sound Curve"
V-MODA's engineers spent over a year of the design phase crafting the perfect sound signature of the Vibe series of headphones. Designed to mimic the warm, sweet sound of hi-fi stereo speakers costing thousands of dollars apiece, the curve remains amazingly straight with no bass roll-off which delivers a smooth and detailed bass response. A sensitivity dip in the 500hz to 2kHz range accentuates the bass slightly and reproduces a warm soundstage. The gentle dropoff in the high ranges was carefully designed to avoid harsh or "clinical"-sounding highs, making the Vibes suitable as in-ear monitors.

Editors' rating
The good: he stylish V-moda Vibe headphones amplify the audio from the sound source, and they come with several fun or useful accessories. Overall sound quality is very good.

The bad: The V-moda Vibe headphones are a bit overpowering on the low-end; may be uncomfortable for some users.

The bottom line:The V-moda Vibe headphones are a great option for style-conscious bass-addicts looking for some worthy portable headphones.

Better than Bose,August 12, 2008

The last pair of headphones I owned was the Bose TriPort headphones (the ones that go over the ear and fit around them) and I am so very impressed at the fact that these little buds are more powerful than these massive cans! I was a little skeptical at first because 'V-moda, who the *$%# are these guys?' But my Bose garbagephones left channel quit working after 6 months of use. As I looked at the flimsy rubber that connected the cord to the jack, it reminded me exactly like a pair of headphones for $2.99 on the clearance rack. No wonder they stopped working, they are built like garbage! I saw the cord design of the V-Moda's and I thought "now this makes sense, a straight plug held together by metal housing!". The colors match my iPod's case, they are tiny, and extremely lightweight. Even at first use I was blown away by the quality of sound, the bass is extremely powerful; a much more powerful punch than the Bose, but not so powerful to the point where it distorts any midrange and highs. The soundstage is completely enveloping; the moment I put these headphones on, they fit perfectly in my ears and sucked out a good chunk of outside noise (not perfectly isolating, but adequate for quality sound, better than the Bose). Upon first wearing them, they felt uncomfortable at first, almost a painful uncomfortable, but I just needed to change the fitting to the next size up, then no problems. They say that you have to 'burn them in' by letting them run for 12 hours, After using them for about 6, the sound is getting better and better. The bass at first is overpowering, but the mids and treble start mixing themselves in and you get a perfect blend of truly blissful sound. The soundstage of the bose over-the-ear headphones had space to resonate around the ear, and that created a unique soundstage, but bass notes at certain frequencies felt inconsistent, by comparison to the Vibes, the sound is straight-to-the-cranium intense. Sound is very incredible, perfect for portable music players. Other, more expensive headphones obviously will get a more 'genuine' sound, but I couldn't imagine what more you could want when using an MP3 player.

unbeatable sound for the price, August 19, 2010

Bought these to repalce the v-Moda bass freq that i broke on a plane. The sound quality is even better than those headphones. Specifically, the bass is not as pronounced as with the other phones i had. The fit and finish of the ear plugs is very good once you decide on the correct surrounds, and they do block most outside noise out. If you currently use any of the standard ipod headphones, replacing them with these will really make a very noticeable difference. To even approach this sound quality you would need to spend at least $150 to $200 with other brands such as Shure or Beats or Bose. The ear plugs are very small so care has to be taken with inserting and removing them so the wires are not pulled on. Once in however they are not very noticeable due to thier size.
