Customer Review: Spared from the graveyard
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a drawer that has become a graveyard for a myriad of headphones that don't make the cut. I've had these for at least one but closer to two years and have used them heavily. They are by far my favorite pair of headphones that don't have an attached microphone. I picked mine up on sale from Amazon for (I think) $20. For the price, they are a steal. I am rather careless with my headphones. They end up tangled in my purse or on the floor of my car with my iPod shuffle dangling from them. They have been yanked hard from my ears a number of times. I never got the hang of the silicone windup thing and it has become forever lost. With heavy use, they are still working great.
The reason for my affinity for these headphones is primarily comfort. They don't hurt, and they don't fall out. I can wear them for hours. The sound isn't perfect, my over the ear noise cancelling headset that I paid many times more for will beat these out, especially in a car or plane. However, for the price and portability they work well. I don't listen to much music on my mp3 player, as I prefer to listen on my stereo. I do consume a large quantity of audiobooks. I have been really happy with these earphones for that purpose.
Once I thought I lost them, and I panicked. I got a promo from Amazon today and I came straight to the website and put in an order for a spare pair, just in case. I doubt they will ever die, but my carelessness may cause them to join the silicone winding thingy who knows where. My only complaint is that the promo code Amazon gives can only be used on one pair, and only on the black ones. I was going to buy 2-3. At $14.99 each, it's practically a disposable set.
Customer Review: INCREDIBLE EARBUDS FOR ANY PORTABLE PLAYER (INCLUDING IPHONE)
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought these earphones from amazon, basically because y read many good things about them.
I know rewievs are subjective and in this case they depend on music taste and music knowledge, but in this case, they were surprisingly accurate with what I experienced when I first tried this earbuds.
I paid 29,99 for these, so I wasnt expecting TOO MUCH... I was wrong.
They sound AWESOME!!
I am using them now with my Iphone, and i couldnt be happier.
The sound is big. And when I say big... I mean BIG! A little too much bass, but thats easy to fix, setting the iphones eq in "bass reducer" or "treble booster" mode The sound is not balanced, so you have to compensate the treble. I must say I love listening to a nice punchy groove, but this lows are incredible loud and accurate, so i decided to turn them a little bit down.
Noise isolation is also very good. Working out in the gym, I realized I was standing right in front of a large speaker, and i wondered if it was turned off, because i couldnt hear anything...so I came closer... and nothing, until I decided to take off one of my earbuds, and I couldnt believe it was actually sounding pretty loud! With my earbuds and some music in it, i couldnt hear a large speaker 5 inches from my ear!!
The most important thing for me is that they fit in the Iphone. Its not a perfect fit, I must say. You have to press it a little bit hard to get it in, but once in... you will experience a much much MUCH better sound experience than with the crappy Iphone earphones.
Thank god I followed my instincts and bought this incredible earphones.
Customer Review: THE EARBUDS YOU'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR!
Summary: 5 Stars
These are without a doubt the best earbuds I have ever heard. Lets get to the pros and cons:
Pros:
Cool looking
Light weight
PERFECT FIT in my ear
Block out outside noises VERY well
Cord isn't too long (doesn't drag on the ground)
Cord isn't too short (you can keep your player in your pocket)
Includes multiple earpiece sizes
Cord doesn't get tangled very much while in pocket like many other earbuds
Don't hurt my ears like poorly made earbuds with terrible range (like Apple iPod earbuds)
EXCEPTIONAL SOUND QUALITY
Cons:
Not ideal for jogging because like pretty much any earbuds, the cord makes a lot of noise while moving around a lot
Very thin wires so take care
Other thoughts:
Be careful while opening the package, it's a little tricky and easy to break them.
It comes with this "Moda Wrap" thing to manage the wire. It's just a pointless gimmick since the wire isn't so long it needs to be wrapped up, and the Moda Wrap itself is rather heavy to have hanging down from the wire.
A lot of people say the bass is over powering. I don't feel that way. It just sounds nice and smooth, provided you don't have your player on an equalizer preset (that can mess up the sound quality).
Verdict:
I like these earbuds so much I plan to purchase another pair soon for when my current ones wear out through everyday use. Just the comfort, quality, and reasonable price sets them apart from the competition. BUY THEM, or if you're like me use Pepsi codes to get them free!
Customer Review: 4.5 stars (if you want something that sounds and feels better...get these)
Summary: 5 Stars
These earbuds sound great. After test running these first immediately out of the box and then again at work last night, I'll say that I am very pleased with these V-Moda earbuds. I realized that Ipods are actually capable of producing decent sound and after cycling through my favorite Everything but the Girl and A Tribe Called Quest albums I realized how comfortable and powerful these buds were.
Recently, I purchased some el-cheapo JVC in-earbuds that almost turned me off to in-earbuds. They felt terrible in my ear, were prone to slippage and the in-ear inserts were actually hard. This on top of the fact that they did not sound any better than stock earbuds (which these V-Modas blow out of the water) I thought that I would give this design one more chance and I'm glad I did. These buds feel great and unlike those JVCs, they disappear (feeling wise) like the stock Ipod earbuds do.
And they handle low end bass exceptionally well. I hear no more distortion in my bass heavy or hip-hop songs and they sound as good as they do on high end car system speakers in my ear. They are also designed well. They come with this cool little plastic thing to manage the cord which makes them very portable, complimenting something like an Ipod shuffle or Nano.
I have one qualm. The cord seems flimsy to me. I get the feeling that these may not be the most durable earbuds out there. They may sound great, but that cord makes me wonder if they will be the same earbuds in six months. I'll have to wait and see on that one but as for now....I'm satisfied with these.
Customer Review: Just what I have been looking for
Summary: 5 Stars
I use an mp3 player for exercising at a fitness center, where the ambient noise level is high. Most earbuds that I have tried have had too low a maximum volume. Recently, I have been using a pair of earbuds (supplied with my player) that had good quality sound and higher-than-average volume. However, these advantages were cancelled out by but poor placement in the ear, resulting in serious reduction of volume and degradement of sound quality.
Frustrated, I decided to try to find good in-canal earbuds, settling initially on the Sony EX81LP earphones. However, I was disappointed upon receiving them to discover that their maximum volume was not nearly as high as that of the earbuds I had been using and that the basses were unusually weak, giving the sound an unattractively brassy quality. I found the over-the-ear frames cumbersome to put on. I also found that they detracted from my ability to keep the buds in the ear canal, since they were inflexible and forced the buds to enter the ear at the wrong angle. As a result, I was unable to keep a tight enough fit to block the ambient noise of the gym. To top it all off, after just two weeks the right earpiece lost most of its volume, rendering the earbuds useless.
After more research I ordered and received a pair of V-Moda Bass-Freq earbuds. Finally I had found what I was looking for -- high enough maximum volume for my needs, earbuds that fit neatly in my ear canals and stay there and a really rich sound spectrum, including, as the name implies, a satisfying bass level.
