New Head-Fier
Pros: Relatively balanced sound signature (bass heavy though), well constructed, and does a pretty good job of being a "universal fit"
Cons: relatively heavy, remote volume controls don't work with Android deivces
V-Moda is well known for having amazing construction while delivering slightly bass heavy audiophile grade headphones, but they also make in ear headphones. And the story is the same with these. The sound signature actually reminded me of a cross between the LPs and the M100s (which I personally own) and just like all of their headphones these offer a relatively balanced sound signature with a slight bass boost. If I had to nitpick at the way these sound I would have to say that at high volumes (higher than I normally listen) the upper mid range sounds slightly distorted, but for $79 these offer very good sound. Comfort and fit is a must for me with earphones since I workout and run with them, and in these departments this earphone doesn't dissappoint at all. And on top of that they offer really great noise isolation. Just like all of V-Modas products this feels exceptionally well built, the only downside being that they are a bit on the heavy side. If you're in the market for slightly bass heavy in ear headphones for under $100 then I would highly reccomend these.

New Head-Fier
Pros: great audio quality (especially if you're a basshead), compact, passive sound isolation
Cons: uncomfortable with stock pads
So I've been doing some research for the past few months and finally decided that I'd make the jump to truly hi-fi audio with these cans and simply put am amazed. First impressions of these cans with the stock cups weren't all that great, but putting on the XL earcups (I highly reccomend buying the extra large earcups for these if you're buying these) they were comfortable. Now after I dealt with switching the earcups (the right one was stuck, so that was fun getting it out) I plugged it into my phone (HTC M8) and played some FLAC EDM and was blown away with what I heard. Lows were kicking, but without overpowering anything else, mids were present (although a bit repressed), and highs sounded perfect. If you're a basshead I would highly reccomend these, especially since they can be driven reltively properly by things like ipods and phones.
