Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the headphones. Some mention that the sound is superb, perfect to listen to podcasts while bicycling, and the passive noise cancellation seems to be better than SBH-80's. However, others say that the cons are the tinny audio, very low bass, and a distant AM radio sound. It is quite loud and blocks everything out except someone shouting, but there is a bit of tonal inaccuracy that changes the sound of some.

I have previous experience with V-Moda since I currently use a pair of their M-100 head phones and really like the sound profile and build quality of these. In fact, they are IMHO the best bang for the buck in headphones that I’ve heard, and the closed back design and Abrams Tank build quality make them perfect for road warriors. And for those who don’t already know. The ‘V’ in V-Moda is the shape of the sound profile where low and high frequencies are accentuated above the mids making a ‘V’... but I digress-
Sonys: Cool idea, but not quite ready for prime time. I enjoyed the sound quality (especially the bass boost option on the Sony app), but volume was seriously lacking and the right ear piece cut out repeatedly during music listening. If your priority is taking calls, and music is something you listen to while stationary with your source taped to your forehead, maybe these will do. I like the compact design, the lack of a cord around my neck and the slick aluminum charging case, but these are not for music listeners or high activity. I think battery technology is the limiting factor here, and they just don’t have the power for reception or volume.
RMA: Cool design, great build quality complete with military grade cord, stainless steel ear pieces and lovely British packaging. They remind me of that classic Rolls Royce, replete with Corinthian leather, sterling silver switchery, and maple wood trimming that has been finely buffed with fore$kin of llama, and sits in your driveway at the Hamptons because it won’t start (which is why, btw, Rolls now uses BMW engines). But back to the RMAs- classically British, and fundamentally dysfunctional. If you are going to design an activity device and claim it is for working out, don’t force me to loop the cord around my ear because the earpieces are too heavy. Furthermore, the batteries in the ends of the wire base beat a tempo against your collarbone while running... never mind the black eyes you get while jumping hurdles, if you’re into that. The sound is not to my liking either, but that’s subjective. I’m an incurable bass head, and I’m a sucker for that V profile we discussed earlier, especially when engaged in the type of activities typically done with this type of listening device. The RMAs are mid range and treble focused, and bass is repressed. Maybe it’s the stainless steel housing...
V-Moda. High-speed, low drag. They are unimpressive to look at. The ear pieces are tiny. There are no emblazoned logos, fancy cables, or shiny bits. And the packaging is just plain silly. But THEY WORK. And the bass is awesome. Structurally, they disappear during use. By that I mean, the battery module is at the back, encased in plastic, and tucks into your collar if you happen to be jumping hurdles in an oxford. The earpieces fit into your ear, not on, above or around them. They are easily put in and taken out of your ears (ie pop out the right one while taking a call and then return it to continue on with the music listening experience). No Looping! Volume is not mind blowing on these either, but the sound isolation from the ear piece fit makes them much better than the other two sets. Battery life is 10 hours vs 12 for the RMAs and 2 for the Sonys (per charge). The V-Moda connects effortlessly to your device (I use an iPhone and a Sony WM), and phone calls are clear and uninterrupted. In fact, you get a nice massage from the vibrating battery module on the back of your neck when a call comes in. It’s ok if you call yourself, nobody will know...
In summary, the clear pick for me is the V-Moda Forza Metallo. This is a good example (with the exception of the packaging) of function over form, and a listening experience that I can live with day to day while commuting, exercising, and writing reviews.
Cheers, eh!
After two days: These are just "falling short" for me, I just ordered Sennheiser HD1 In-Ear Wireless Headphones to compare.
After 1-day: The sound is noticeably beautiful and smooth, very pleasant, and not thankfully not scratchy sounding like the much of the cheap stuff.
I think that most people will absolutely love the magically smooth sound.
The audio-processing electronics are noticeably much-better than the cheap-stuff.
But, there are some sound tonal inaccuracies that I think are because of "driver" (speaker) inaccuracies.
I was hoping for audiophile-quality natural / flat-sounding drivers (speakers), but there is a bit of tonal inaccuracy that changes the sound of some non-electronic musical instruments in songs that I am familiar with. I would probably not notice except that I've gotten familiar with the sound of some music on high quality sound systems. This may be because of the limitations of Bluetooth technology, but I think the issue is with the speakers. I think I'll try Sennheiser Bluetooth to compare. Female vocals, and deep Country Music male vocals are absolutely beautiful and warm. Thin sounding male voices sound even more thin. Bass is nice and smooth, but in music with heavy-bass, vocals seem pushed into the background. Natural percussion instruments like a non-electronic snare drums, cymbals, and "fingers snapping" sound like they are electronic, thin, and un-natural. Acoustic guitar in some of the songs I've tried also sounds thin.
The ones I received have an issue with occasional clicking sound that sounds like "cutting out", that sounds like loss of Bluetooth signal, even when my andoid phone is only 24 inches away.
Though the design is beautiful in appearance, the piece that fits behind the neck falls down.
The wires to the speakers are a bit too long, such that they can rub on my face a bit.
Using these under a collared shirt would look great, and would also help control the long wire issue.
If the battery is dead, they will not work while a charger is connected.
I think most people will absolutely love the warm sound and beautiful design.
I may be asking for more performance than this technology, in this price range can provide.
I don't think this design will stay in place well with heavy physical movement.
First, the wire is simply too long. I believe this is so that they can be wrapped around the ear, but I am not sure.
Second, when you get a call the headphone vibrates very agressively and does not pulse. It is one long consistent vibrate which is very obnoxious.
Other than that, the comfort is fantastic, the sound is as good as anyone could expect for Bluetooth, and the battery usually lasts 2-3 days for me.
Top reviews from other countries
Real shame because they talk about 6 star service in their promotion materials but give 1 star service if you do not live in the USA.
This my recommendation is avoid for now, there are so many great headphones around.. Give your money to a manufacturer that gives a damn about helping when there are issues.
The set itself is well packaged, easy to set up and easier to install on my phone. It is fast to charge, so comfortable to wear, simple to operate, holds a charge like no other and the sound is second to none! I was expecting nothing less from V-Moda and I am not disappointed.
The price point from Amazon.ca was crazy... less in Canadian dollars than the USD price direct from V-Moda.... and free shipping too. It was out of stock when I ordered it so had to wait a few weeks but the wait was well worth it.
Get it while you can. I have tried others but based on comfort, sound and technical specs, the V-Moda Forza Metallo Wireless cannot be beat.
Supports Apt-x codec and works best with Android phones. But unfortunately does not support AAC so with iOS sound quality will not be as good as Android.
Il prezzo è in linea con la qualità, davvero alta: suono nitido, perfettamente bilanciato con bassi non prevalenti e focus su medi e alti. Chiarimento: i bassi ci sono e si sentono, semplicemente non sono la parte prevalente delle canzoni ed è un bene visto il profilo spostato sui bassi di quasi tutte le cuffie bluetooth.
Qualità costruttiva altrettanto buona, unica pecca i comandi che non sono particolarmente comodi in inverno quando si indossano Giacchetti e/o sciarpe.
In sintesi, un ottimo sostituto delle Shure via cavo, con la comodità del bluetooth.
