Disclaimer: The following questions are not intended to be negative.
From my perspective, V-MODA historically has never created "Audiophile grade" headphones. I have always seen them as the step up from the stock earbuds/headphones that came with a DAP (or replacement headset for iPhones as the V-MODA earbuds I have seen all have in-line mics). The people that I have witnessed buying them are shopping for looks as opposed to researching the technical details and buying for audio fidelity.Looking around, they have also not received very positive reviews from the headphone enthusiast community. With the M-80s, it appears that this is the first headset by V-MODA embraced by the usually fickle headphone audiophiles. Was there a change in philosophy in V-MODA? How did you feel about the reviews about earlier V-MODA products? What prompted the change to compete in the high fidelity headphone market?
