Electronic Music Fans Look No Further... 
2008-07-01
I decided to get a pair of ear buds because my DJ headphones (Sony MDR V-700) were a bit too cumbersome for travel and every-day use. I was, however, skeptical that any buds could come anywhere near acceptable for the sort of heavy bass I expect from the giant $100 DJ phones. I listen mostly to Trance/House/Dance stuff and with that sort of music, feeling the beat is pretty much the whole point.
These things are amazing. The bass reproduction is unbelievable. If you're an electronic music fan, these are the buds for you, I guarantee it. For best results, I recommend using the largest set of silicone heads you can comfortably wear. You should also make sure that they are inserted properly. You'll be able to tell (push them in tightly until the sound is right, then let them relax in your ear). I found that the largest set (three sizes are included) provided the best sound- without a complete seal (i.e. the smallest pair that is the default)- the things sounded tinny and awful. The difference is really staggering.
In conclusion, if you need strong beats.... these are the buds for you. I cannot overstate how spectacular these little suckers perform.
Great set of earphones 2008-06-30
for what its worth, these earphones deliver very well. the bass is outstanding. i guess a lt of people have problems with the comfort, but i dont have any problems with fittings, fit's just fine. great bang for the price.
I used to love these. . .

I had these headphones for about 4 months and I LOVED them. It was the best pair of relatively cheap headphones I've had, and I've tried at least 7 types. The sound was amazing with great bass and sound isolation. They were cute and they worked great.
Today the right ear fizzed out followed quickly by the left one. Maybe I was a little too rough on them, but any earphones should be up to a little wear and tear. Perhaps next time I'll try investing in a higher quality pair.
Great sound, doesn't last

I bought these headphones two months ago and I just discovered today that one side doesn't work. It makes me sad because the sound quality was very good. However since they don't last long I don't recommend getting these. I only give two stars because the sound was good for the time it lasted.
I REALLY REALLY LOVE these earphones! 2008-06-21
I mainly use my iPod for working out on aerobic equipment at the gym (treadmill, stepper, bike, etc). I've been looking for some earphones to replace the ones Apple gives you with the iPod. Although those offer decent sound, they are damned uncomfortable and make my ears hurt after 30 minutes (I don't understand why can't Apple include comfortable earbuds with their product!)
I did a lot of research before buying these V-Moda Bass Freq earbuds. At first I was going to get some Sony earbuds, but after reading about the problems with the cord spontaneously disintegrating, I decided against it and went for the V-Moda instead.
All I can say is: WOW! I thought the sound from the Apple earbuds was pretty good, but it's nothing compared to the V-Moda's. As you would expect, the sound is rather "bassy," but the highs are also quite crisp. I wouldn't say it's perfect, but really it's extremely good. I'm very very pleased with this purchase!
I mainly use my iPod at the gym. As you can imagine it gets pretty noisy there and I wind up having to crank up the sound on my iPod to hear the music well. These V-Moda's fit in my ear extremely comfortably and actually provide a great deal of noise blocking. All that extra noise created by the other treadmills and bikes around me is 70 to 80 percent blocked out! I was quite amazed. And this allows me to hear the music clearly, therefore I don't need to crank the volume of my iPod so high. The music sounded so much better than usual that it motivated me to exercise longer -- because I was really enjoying the sound of the music so much!
Since they are earbuds, you do have to place them rather deeply into your ear canal to achieve the correct bass and noise-blocking effects. You may need to fiddle with it a little bit to get all the bass effect. But the earbuds are a not uncomfortable. In fact, I wore them for an hour and forgot that they were on. Extremely comfortable!
I've only owned them for a couple of weeks so I can't comment on their durability, but I'm very careful with my stuff so I expect them to last a long time. I plan to order one or two more pairs.
Oh, and by the way, I also ordered a pair of iLuv 301s because they were inexpensive -- the sound doesn't even begin to compare. The iLuv 301's produce a tinny little sound, whereas these V-Moda Bass Freq's are terrific. It's like comparing a transister radio to a 100-watt speaker.
Overall I give the V-Moda Bass Freq's five stars for quality, sound, noise blocking, and a good value for the money!
Awesome; worth every penny 2008-07-04
These headphones are amazing with pristine quality and great sound. I've gone through a couple of ear
buds and headphones. These have definitely been the best by far.
INCREDIBLE EARBUDS FOR ANY PORTABLE PLAYER (INCLUDING IPHONE) 2008-07-03
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.
Lots of Bang for the Buck!

Tried these after reading a review on CNET. The review was spot on. These headphones do provide great sound at a bargain price.
Impressive 2008-07-03
I received these earbuds, and I'm very happy with them.
They have a good amount of low, deep, quality bass.
They are very comfortable, and they can handle a good amount of volume, without distortion. I had to reduce my Bass on my player 1 notch, and now it sounds perfect. I'm considering buying the Vibes, for just an extra pair.
Combined with my IAudio X5, and a set of these, you've got a simply AWESOME_SOUND!
THUMBS_UP!!! (V-MODA).
Decent 2008-07-02
The sound quality is ok, but not as clear as some of the headphones I have had from Sony. The headphones dont stay in my ear very well and I have to constantly adjust them. Also the part of the cord that inserts into the player is straight (like ipod headphones) and not L-shaped like most headphones which makes me think they will break easier, but no trouble yet (1 month in).
