V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds Review
V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds 5 Star Rating: Cheapism Best Pick
Summary:
V-MODA's bass frequency ear buds use a technology called BLISS (Bass-Level-Isolating Soft Silicon) to eliminate outside noise when listening to music. Three different-sized bud tips are included, and users and experts note the silicon affords a decent level of comfort. Experts agree, however, that these buds can be a bit too bass-heavy at times.

The V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds feature three different-sized tips to fit any ear, as well as a technology called BLISS, which stands for Bass Level Isolating Soft Silicone. In short, these ear buds provide sound isolation for users by filling out the ear canal. A MacWorld V-MODA Bass Freq review says the ear buds on this cheap model easily find their place at the outer end of your ear canal and they remain comfortable for a while afterwards. The MacWorld review also praises the lightweight and colorful design, build quality, and the strong bass response that doesn't sacrifice the middle or high ranges. CNET generally concurs in its V-MODA Bass Freq review, adding that the sound stays warm throughout playback but the bass can sometimes be a bit much. Users posting V-MODA Bass Freq reviews on Pricegrabber.com are high on the overall sound, the buds' ability to block out ambient noise, and their light weight and durability; one user notes that after trying a number of unreliable models, he's thrilled that the V-MODA Bass Freq ear buds have lasted well over a year.

The V-MODA Bass Freq comes with three different-sized bud tips, so you should be able to find one that fits your ears. And, you've got your choice of eight snazzy color combinations. For the most part, users posting V-MODA Bass Freq reviews on Amazon find the silicone ear buds a comfortable fit, though one consumer notes on Amazon that the best sound fidelity comes when the ear buds sit farther into his ear.

Overall, the V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds are a solid value and should hold up through prolonged use. With a good level of bass response and buds that cater to different-sized ears, music listeners will be satisfied with the V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds.
