Hey!
 
I currently own the V-Moda M100 and I love them. Even though I'm not an extreme audiophile, I like to know I have good quality products.
 
I'm trying to find something more portable for my walks/outdoor listening moments and I cane across the Zn and the Forza Metallo.
 
Zn:
Driver: 8mm
Freqs: 2Hz - 25,000Hz
 
 
Forza:
Driver: 5.8mm
20Hz-40,000Hz
 
 
I enjoy good bass and nice high's. I love, for exemple, Luca Turilli with a wide variety of sounds, High notes and good bass, so the Forza would seems ok since it got a better range (40,000), but the drivers of the Zn are bigger and I know it's good. I'm confused to what I should buy.
 
I also like when my in-ear stay in place and are solid. I usually wear the wire inside of my shirt but I guess if static is an issue I can try wearing it outside.
 
I'm currently owning a Fiio X5 (1st gen) and I'm waiting for the 3rd gen to come out!
 
HeadFi have an amazing community so I know I cannot go wrong by asking you some advices!
 
Cheers
EDIT:
I found 1MORE Triple driver which in my price range at 150$ CAD. Would those be better? Audio-Technica good in-ear seems over my budget

I'm very confused about those 2 (3) choices and it would be amazing if someone could ust drop their thoughts here..

Never heard the Forza but I've heard the Zn. The Zn is really bassy. Much too bassy for my personal preference. Everything sounds drowned out because of that, however if you EQ the bass down a bit they sound fantastic! Of course take my impression with a grain of salt as I really don't like a lot of bass and it's been a while since I've last heard em so my impression might be biased.

Im not sure, but I think that Forza and Forza Metallo are the same only the case is made of metal...
Forza (metallo) has 5.8 mm drivers and Zn 8mm
So Zn will have way more punch!
I haven't heard them, but I'm also at the same question right now

 

[akdom]

EQ is the way to go if there's too much bass to my liking @Dulalala.
@HexagonX but Zn is 25,000Hz max, should I be concerned?
 
And thank you both for your replies

 

[Dulalala]

Human hearing range is from 20Hz-20kHz. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[akdom]

@Dulalala I forgot thanks! With all those numbers sometime I forget our simple human limits
I'm ordering them right now
 
Once again, thanks for dropping by this thread to help me out!

 

[HexagonX]

Have you decided which you are going to buy?

 

[akdom]

@HexagonX I'll try the Zn, they look nice and they also in limited quantities, the forza metallo looks great too but they look more fitness oriented.

Hi,
 
I am having the same issue as you had, in present i own Vmoda M100 (which i love them) and Fiio X5 first gen, and i am currently searching "to find something more portable for my walks/outdoor" ~ i am 100% in your situation.
What have you done? Which headphones did you buy, and how satisfied are you of them?
 
Thx, 

 

[HexagonX]

Yo mate!

I bought me Zn two months ago or so.
I LOVE them! The bass is awesome and you here everything what you should here. Every detail is there. They are perfect!
Vmoda is #1 for design and sound. The cables are just beautiful and very strong.

Cheers

I know this is pretty late but bigger drivers for earphones do not mean more bass punch. I've had 6mm drivers off me big and clean bass than most IEMs with larger drivers.

Sennheiser's Axell Grell said that "larger drivers offer no advantage over smaller driver in regards to in ear headphones on his CNET interview.. 

 

[HexagonX]

That's my experience...
ZN is awesome

Based on what you said, should I get the Zn or the Forza Metallo? Do they differ in sound quality? I listen to mostly EDM. Hope you could help

I've only tried the Zn and Forza (normal rather than Metallo), but for the bass quality and quantity and overall for EDM, I would have to say the Zn is your pick. I'm a big fan of V-MODA's customer service and their trade in program as well.
