Built to Last
We're passionate about sound and providing you a durable product. We've spent years of diligent engineering to insure Remix Remote is multiple times stronger than many headphones sold within the same price range. Each component was dissected and analyzed by a team of seasoned engineers to create a high-quality headphone that could withstand the extended use by V-MODA's dedicated listeners. With the dual functionality of today's headphones as headsets, it is paramount that the cable and plug are as precisely engineered as the ear buds. Special attention was given to a custom cable construction comprised of a strong Kevlar core to relieve tension and a uniquely braided copper material that is specially designed to increase flex during use. The gold-plated plug and stainless steel core feature a 45-degree extended strain relief to withstand stress.

What It Means to be a "Lifestyle" Headphone
At the gym, heading to the venue, or walking down the street, the Remix Remote is designed for your mobile lifestyle. Weighing only 17 grams, they are lightweight for comfort. Featuring all-metal construction, the Remix Remote combines sleek design and durability. The patent pending detachable sport earhooks insure you don't miss a beat, even when you're on the go. With the Remix Remote, the pinnacle experience of music is interwoven with supreme style in these premium fashion-phones that sound as amazing as they look.

We put years of extra thought and research into the cable. Why is the cable so important? The main cable diameter of 2.2mm and overall cord length of 44"-46" work best to prevent "earphone fallout". V-MODA's cables are rigorously tested with weights to withstand abuse.

If you're rough on your headphones, don't worry. We've designed a replacement program just for you. With the exclusive V-MODA Replay Replacement Program, you get a 50% off lifetime replacement guarantee. Of course, that is in addition to the two-year V-MODA premier warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rock Safely With The Best Sound Yet! May 24, 2010

By Martin A Hogan HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER

Color Name:Nero|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

First, let's get to the sound! The highs are crisp and the lows are precise and totally solid. The bass is as good as my Sony MDR-NC60 Noise Canceling Headphone and I've never heard that kind of quality from any other earbuds. In fact, throw out your old earbuds!

The hands-free microphone is very small and clips to your shirt. Your voice is clear to the other party and the call/music function is great, as when you make a call the music quickly fades away. However, I have the `iPhone 3G' and the Remix Call/Music Control and `3 button Remote' only work on the `iPhone 3GS'. It is odd talking to someone through ear-buds instead of a Bluetooth, but it's safe.

The kit comes with a pair of Sport Ear-hooks which are great in keeping your ear buds solidly in your ear with no interruption from the cords when you are walking, jogging or exercising. You also get a choice of four earbud cushion sizes, which is great. It does work with any model of iPod or MP3 players that have a 3.5mm jack (standard) and of course, it has all the fancy stuff like 24-gold-plated plugs, silicone fittings, metal construction, Kevlar cable and such. But the final word is the quality of sound. As I said, the highs are crisp and the bass is just so unbelievable in these little guys. Rock safely!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent December 28, 2010

By TheDetechtive TOP 500 REVIEWER

Color Name:Nero|Amazon Verified Purchase

First off, I purchased these earbuds as a replacement for my stock apple earbuds with controller. I got very used to having the controller on my earbuds and I don't think I could ever buy a pair withought it again. These earbuds struck me because they are gorgeous, well priced, and had all the features I needed. now to the review.

Sound quality: Just utterly excellent! I put these earbuds in expecting great quaility and they did not disappoint! The bass is BUMPIN' and they sound extremely clear! Best earbuds I have used! But with some earbud fittings they are comfortable but it sounds a bit (very tiny bit) muffled.

Comfortability: These earbuds are very comfortable, they are made of metal, so is the controller, and with the heavy duty cable, they are a little heavy and pull on your ear but its nothing to bad. Nothing really to complain about. all in all, they are quite comfortable.

Durability: These earbuds are made out of complete metal and the cord is wrapped in Kevlar (what they make bullet proof vests out of!) these will DEFINITELY last you a VERY long time!

Design: These earbuds are simply BEAUTIFUL! The slick black metal mixed with the shiny chrome really makes for awesome looking earbuds! Great design!

Packaging: These earbuds come in a great looking and just big enough box providing nice look, protection, and not being bigger than it needs to be, I love it.

Extras: You really do get bang for your buck. The box doesn't just contain earbuds, it comes with a nice looking carrying sack, adapter to make them "around the ear", and MANY different buds!

Controller: The controller is very nice. It is solid metal with nice rubber buttons making it feel nice and remain durable. The only thing is you must push the buttons rather hard for them to work, but nothing to bad, not a deal-breaker by any means.

FINAL PROS AND CONS:
Pros:
-Great sound
-Amazing build quility
-Beautiful looking
-Awesome features

Cons:
-Could sound kinda muffled with some bud fittings
-Controller buttons are kinda hard
-Quite heavy making them a little uncomfortable after long usage

ALL IN ALL:
Great product, well worth the price tag, definitely a purchase you wont regret making!

4.0 out of 5 stars fine May 18, 2010

By sfcity

Color Name:Nero

I own these and the Klipsch s4i. They're both great sets of headphones and I don't strongly prefer one over the other. I like these ones because the cord is heavier and they are much less apt to tangle. The remote control button feels a little more solid and waterproof and in general they feel well constructed. As far as sound, these are definitely more bassy. I kind of like that, but it may not be to everyone's liking. The design of the jack seems smart. I find them to be quite comfortable.
