 Wasted $20 bucks September 3, 2008
I just received my V-Moda ear plugs. I purchased them based on the rave reviews but I guess you get what you pay for. I tried them immediately and first noticed how comfortable they were. Then I plugged them into my iPod Classic. First, I had to crank up the volume all the way. Then, I couldn't believe how cheap and tinny the sound was. I listened to Wasis Diop's 'Everything is Never Quite Enough' a good tune for rich textures, overlays and, of course, bass. I couldn't believe my ears. Plugged my old earplugs back in, the ones that came with the iPod, and had to lower the volume. Sure enough, it wasn't my imagination. The difference is unbelievable. A transistor radio compared to a symphony hall. Save $20. Find something else.
Great for the price September 3, 2008

I originally intended to review this product at 3 stars. Keep in mind that I originally bought them for $34.75. The sound quality is great and has lots of bass (what i was looking for), but the cord is VERY thin. I take very good care of my electronic equipment (my ipod is my baby) and any accessories... so imagine my dismay when the wire cover started coming apart right where it connects to the jack. Had to rig it with some electrical tape to extend the life. At least I got a good 8 months of use before any casualties!!
FYI be VERY CAREFUL with the cord (i.e. when wrapping it around anything, don't yank it out of the jack, etc). I suppose thats good advice for any headphones, but these especially because of the thin cord. Otherwise they are great headphones, especially for bass lovers such as myself. And at the current price, I don't mind purchasing another pair!
nice sounding buds September 3, 2008

The V-MODA Bass earbuds sound better than the earphones that came with my iPod. Because the gel tips go into the ear, it blocks out some external sound but just a little. It may depend on the user but the gel tips make my ears tired after wearing it for a while.
Too much base and thin cords... (Good otherwise) September 3, 2008
I've been in search of a perfect set of in-ear earphones for iPod. I've purchased different earphones and tried many, and this V-Moda Base Freq comes in at "pretty good" for the price.
First thing you'll notice with these earphones is that the cord attached to these earbuds are super thin, though highly flexible. If you're like me who use (and abuse) the earphones everyday, you may worry about its durability. I have not used these for more than a month so far, so time will tell.... The sound quality is better than average of what you can find in this price range. As the name suggests, and many of the other reviewers had stated that these earphones give you a lot of base. A LOT!! If you like a lot of base these earphones would be perfect for you. For me, it's a little too much. Some music gets drowned in base although the earphones are giving you fairly good mids and highs. I had to use equalizer to tone down the base... I own a pair of very high-end earbuds from Shure, and if you compare the sound from Shure to V-Moda, you can tell all that base from V-Moda is very unbalanced. I do have Apple's "In-Ear Headphones", and I must say they have much better balance (though I don't recommend Apple's at all) than V-Moda. For example, if you listen to pop or hip-hop music a lot, V-Moda may be good for it, but if you listen to folk or guitar-heavy rock, or even classic (a lot of acoustic instrument) you may find V-Moda to be too base-heavy or even find the sound to be muddy.
As an alternative (if you aren't looking for too much base), so far in my quest to find the perfect set of ipod earphones, I like Sony Mdr-Ex75/Blk Ex Earbuds Headphones with 9Mm Hi-Sensitivity Driver (Black) for the price, and all around sound quality. They're in-ear type to block outside noise, and they're comfortable wearing (and so is V-Moda, by the way). Very good balance overall in base, mids, and highs, and very clear sounding. They're also pretty sturdy too, unlike the super thin V-Moda cords... I have tried Bose TriPort but I cannot justify their high price tag... Sony sounds better imho.
 Good phones, bad cord September 2, 2008
The headphones work as they are suppose to but the connection between the 3.5mm jack and the cord is not as strong as other headphones. After a month or two it will loosen up and your connection wont work.
