"Wonderful Surprise"
Pros: Audio Quality
Cons: L and R labels
Summary: Having tried the oem buds and then the V Moda Vibe, Koss Sparkplug, Bose IE and now the V Moda Bass....I've learned quite a bit. Firstly, for the money (under $20) the Koss Sparkplug is an excellent buy and a definite upgrade from most OEM headphones, but they are not in the same leaque as the V Modas or Bose of course. The Bose IE were a bit disppointing audibly (they have improved the fit greatly with the new earpieces) and the V Moda Vibe is a wonderful unit. The big surprise for me was the V Moda Bass Freq. Ignoring the low price...the Bass Freq unit produced suberb bass with great warmth and presence without compromising mid range and treble response. A very praisworthy combination that is not often found...yet here is found on a headphone that retails for under $40 in many places.
We often talk about bass, midrange and treble...but just ignoring those terms and just listening, enjoying and comparing....the simple comment....these sound truly wonderful...says it all about these V Modas.
Now audio prefernces are very subjective. What for me is a warm and 'entertaining' listen may be too bassy for others. Different types of music also effect prefernces. Oh yes....PLEASE try the 3 different earpiece sizes that come with the unit. Achieving a proper 'seal' and placement within the ear can make a very significant difference in sound reproduction and isloation from outside noise. After you find the correct size earpieces (you might find two different sizes are best for two different ears!)I truly believe that the vast majority of users will be thrilled and surprised at how wonderful these inexpensive headphones are and really question how much difference spending twice the price will NOT gain for you. I am simply that incredibly happy with the V Moda Bass Freq...no less than that!
