    Sound isolation of V-Moda Vibe vs PX200

    Crisp high (non-fatigue), separation, and bass. These are all better than PX200. The bass in PX200 is stronger but muddy. Hope this can help.

    Sound isolation of V-Moda Vibe vs PX200

    I did upgrade from PX200. The Vibes brocks the noise much better than the PX200 although it is not totally isolated. And the sound quality is also better than the PX200 as well. Just go for it!

    Calling D777 User, Help Please
