V-MODA, the music lifestyle brand that owes its allure to the fusion of fashion and function, introduces its passion for music and style to the world with its innovative line of "modaphones". The pinnacle experience of music is interwoven with supreme style in these premium in-earphones that sound as amazing as they look. Revolutionary bass, BLISS noise isolating technology, and high fashion colors converge to create Bass Fréq.

Designed specifically to recreate the sensation and sounds of the world's finest clubs and concert venues, Bass Freq's enables powerful bass that can actually be felt. A powerful neodymium rare earth magnets produces deep yet precise bass levels in conjunction with BLISS noise-isolating technology. Warm mids and crisp highs blend seamlessly with the vibrant bass so that the lows don't compromise the overall sound quality of the entire spectrum. The dynamic driver delivers clear and natural sound in comparison to the distant and mechanical sound of other manufacturers' in-ear models that cost more that double Bass Freq's value-based price. The combination of superior sound quality, unique design and style, and extreme comfort at such a great value won Bass Freq the 2006 CNET Editor's Choice Award.

Noise Cancelling Headphones 

Block out the distracting sounds of the city or relax on the airplane with these remarkable noise canceling headphones.

Noise-canceling headphones reduce unwanted ambient ambient noise by means of active noise control. This involves placing a microphone near the ear and using electronic circuitry to generate a sound wave with the opposite polarity of the sound wave arriving at the microphone. The result is destructive interference which cancels out the noise within the enclosed volume of the headphone.

Keeping noise low at the ear makes it possible to enjoy music without raising the volume unnecessarily. It can also help a passenger sleep in a noisy vehicle such as an airliner.

Pro Studio Headphones 

Professional open air headphones are known for providing the most accurate sound reproduction. Open headphones have an open grille on the back of the driver, exposing the driver to the outside, and allowing the sound waves to propagate away from the ear freely. This backing type does not isolate the listener from outside sounds; in addition, sound through open headphones can be easily heard by others in the vicinity of the user (not always a desirable quality). They, however, usually have less sound distortion (due to the lack of resonance) and tighter controlled sound reproduction. Most audiophile-quality headphones are open headphones.
