Extraordinary Sound, Stylish Design, Absolute Comfort

Designed specifically to recreate the sensation and sounds of the world's finest clubs and concert venues, Bass Freq's enables powerful bass that can actually be felt. A powerful neodymium rare earth magnets produces deep yet precise bass levels in conjunction with BLISS noise-isolating technology. Warm mids and crisp highs blend seamlessly with the vibrant bass so that the lows don't compromise the overall sound quality of the entire spectrum. The dynamic driver delivers clear and natural sound in comparison to the distant and mechanical sound of other manufacturers' in-ear models that cost more that double Bass Freq's value-based price. The combination of superior sound quality, unique design and style, and extreme comfort at such a great value won Bass Freq the 2006 CNET Editor's Choice Award.

Bass Freq' adapts to YOUR music and fashion style rather than dictates it. Although V-MODA takes sound quality and innovative technology to be of primary importance we refuse to neglect the elements of style and fashion that the rest of the headphone industry has overlooked. People across the nation are integrating their MP3 players and their respective accessories into their wardrobes in the same manner as other conventional items such as jewelry, hats, etc. V-MODA modaphones provide individuals with the option to personalize their wardrobe with an array of colors and styles. Bass Freq comes in 8 different high-fashion colors that perfectly complement the color of your Ipod or MP3 player, or allow you to mix and match colors to create your own unique style.

The "Quiet" Advantage of BLISS

BLISS is the acronym for "Bass-Level-Isolating Soft Silicon". Passive noise isolation by itself is not unordinary for in-ear headphones, yet extreme attention to detail is critical because of the fitting's effect in both comfort and sound. The exact thickness of the silicon can make all the difference in the world. Many of the "softest" silicon fittings on some brands proved to be too thick in V-MODA's user test panel. BLISS is made to not only be extremely comfortable in the ear canal, but also to be the easiest earphone to put in and take out quickly. This way one can rock quickly in a matter of seconds, then take an intermission before another encore.

The design behind BLISS is also an ideology of how far deep the fittings should lie in the ear and the level of noise isolation. In V-MODA's user test groups, many users found that other high-end headphones required a fit too deep and too intrusive to get the best sound and comfort. BLISS fittings are "just right" for everyday use and the amount of noise isolation they provide.

Customer Reviews

Not worth the money
I have been using the original earbuds that came with the iPod. They have been fine but it was suggested that other earbuds would give better sound. Reviews of the V-MODA here and elsewhere were most mostly positive. So I bought them. Big mistake. I can't understand why they were given good reviews.

The sound quality is noticeably inferior to the original Apple earbuds. Apple's have a full, rich, 3D quality. V-MODA's sound flat, dull, tinny and do not provide an enjoyable experience. I have tried every EQ setting. Nothing sounds good. It's not that there is too much bass. There isn't enough of anything.

Maybe for podcasts and other spoken recordings these would be fine. But, for music--any kind--these are a bad choice. I can't recommend them. If I ever have to replace the earbuds I have now, I'll buy the ones from Apple.

Lots of bass
I didn't somehow grasp that this thing was totally focused on bass. And yep, it has bass.

I don't find that its sound is very well balanced (being heavily weighted towards bass), and because it doesn't allow air to pass through the silicon ear-fittings and itself, or through itself, you get that "My ears are plugged with something" feeling, which distorts the sound and reduces the quality of my experience.

I hated that the apple buds tend to fall out. But these are worse, IMO. Not due to a defect in their design per se, just that their design isn't what I am looking for. If the above is exactly what you want, then they're great. But you should be aware of these issues before purchasing them.

Flaw
I have gone through two pairs of these, each pair loses sound in the right ear bud after two months of use. I have used them with the ipod and zune and they just wear out. They are not worth the money.
