Damn. I want to return these, but I bought them off amazon as well. They are no good for me.
I think you're asking the wrong question (although they should have seen through it). Tell them you are wanting to take advantage of the 60 day test drive guarantee. They don't do returns from amazon purchases per se.
*EDIT* NVM - Re-read it and saw that you asked for the test drive...that's opposite of what has been said on here before.

Hi everyone, yes Amazon has a return policy. I will try that instead. I tried v-moda first because in the package they asked to please return to v-moda and not to the retailer.
Then return them, Amazon has a 30-day policy and tends to side with the consumer vs the retailer (one of the few companies that does that anymore; V-Moda does too though). This isn't a full solution to the 60-day test run V-Moda offers, I feel that the people who bought off of Amazon feel kind of cheated since they don't get the 60 days, rather only 30. I'm not sure if the V-Moda site explicitly states that you have to buy from V-Moda to get the 60-day run. If it doesn't, it may be a good thing to add Val

The V-Moda site does not explicitly state this. Furthermore, the product detail page on Amazon's site talks about the 60-Day guarantee but also does not state that it must be purchased through V-Moda. That product detail page is under Amazon's control and would make it their responsibility to honor the full 60-day guarantee. V-Moda should have provided him more direction in their response, but ultimately the return is a standard one in the typical return window that has nothing to do with the guarantee. V-Moda & Amazon should certainly be a little more transparent about the terms of this guarantee on their site though.
This was the message I received after explaining what happened and asking for a refund: "We apologize for receiving a defective pair! If you would like to provide your full address, we will be happy to send out a new pair today with a pre-paid return label for the defective pair. Unfortunately, we can't refund transactions made through Amazon. We know you'll love the headphones so we want to make sure you have a working pair to try."
I bought these literally 1 week ago.
So, for anyone who missed it, here is my v-moda story:
Bought the m100s from Amazon with the intention of returning them for a refund based on the test-drive guarantee if I didn't like them. When I got them, i used them in my iPhone, and the right ear seemed softer than the left. Tried them on my main soundcard, the Xonar D1, and they didn't work on the soundcard; I just heard distortion. So they are pretty much useless for me at home, which is where I intend to use them the majority of the time. The next day (using FiiO E7) I noticed that the right ear is defective, as when I press on it gently, the sound goes out. Two days later, the right ear doesn't play any sound the majority of the time (through E7, laptop, and iPhone). I sent a customer service message to V-moda asking for a refund based on the 60-day test drive guarantee on Thursday, and received the above reply today saying that they don't refund transactions made through Amazon. So now I get to receive a new pair of headphones that don't even work on my soundcard, when I only purchased them in the first place because of the supposed refund guarantee!

For example, you can't use it while charging and the Iphone can't be charged even when Vamp is off unless Vamp is detached which isn't the easiest process. I would not expect a refund from V-Moda if I was dissastisfied enough to want to return Vamp (which I don't).
I hope I don't sound harsh, just trying to be objective and make life easier since returns can also be a pain in the ***.
The product detail is actually done by V-Moda if I'm not mistaken, not Amazon.
