Ah, not too much time tonight as its very late. But we decided to do a multi-year ergonomic R&D/Lab program that cost us a LOT of dough as we discovered "THE FIT IS THE SOUND". Ergonomics, QC and sound mastering/compression is a good portion of what your perception is of great sound.
Vibrato has our BLISS 3.0 fittings which are now patent-pending, Remix is 1.9, REVAMP is 2.0. I think this is a primary reason everybody says Vibrato is so great and REVAMP is cleaning up awards from CNET to i4U. It's not necessarily the driver as I discovered... just like home speakers, the "ROOM" is like your ears and the fitting. For instance, your pinna, ear canal and even wearing a hat can alter the response greatly just as putting the best speakers in a horrible room.
I'm so analytical - I even change the BPM I DJ at depending on the acoustics of the room or outdoor environment. I even measure the temperature so I know how fast the frequencies are responding. I play outdoors at 126-128 BPM, indoors ~129-131 and in smaller clubs ~132BPM because of how sound travels and room acoustics.
Our primary focus went into ergonomics studies with labs (inside and outside), we have amassed an amazing amount of research that has enabled us to get 4.5-5 stars across the internet. It's all about the fit and durability. We spent 7+ years in engineering with the best we could hire to get us here, and we're proud that we can finally release these products to the people.
You see, I want to make headphones for myself, and I am a perfectionist producer at heart - headphones are only my means to making and playing better music and this is why I started V-MODA. I need confidence my tracks will get the people moving at the club when I play them for the first time. Often, I produce and remix only moments before a gig on an airplane or even in a taxi! This is what counts, as well as when industry people tell me they produce and depend on my headphones, especially the producers "behind the guys, behind the guys" like myself who get little credit as ghost producers or even legends like Paul Oakenfold, SHM or Stevie Wonder.
