  • More articulate than I expectedI\'m writing this because nearly every review of the ZN I read referenced the M100 from V-moda...but nothing else. It would seem none of the reviews have ever owned Etymotic, Shure, RHA, Sennheiser, UE, etc. So I figured I would write the review I was looking for when debating these headphones. In a word...they\'re fantastic.So I was looking for a replacement for my Senheiser Momentum buds. Let me start by pointing out my goals/preferences for headphones. I like in-ear design, I listen to mostly electronic music (everything from Depeche Mode to Armin Van Buuren to Trap and D&B), so low end responsiveness and quality is very important to me (much more so than low end quantity...Beats). But clarity and separation are also important. I tend to enjoy the sound signature of Sennheiser almost any other earbuds I\'ve used (though I am aware that Focal, RHA, Fidue and a few others make outstanding earbuds...I just don\'t have that type of cash). You might say I lean toward a \"v-shape\" sound preference as opposed to a \"neutral/monitor\" signature that you might get from Etymotic or Shure. I am using these in my office (so noise, movement or durability aren\'t much of a factor). Also, I don\'t like earbuds that wrap the wire around the back of the ear (which rules out most high-end monitors for me). I\'d also add that I hadn\'t really given V-moda much thought...I kinda lumped them in with \"mid-priced headphones for teenage bassheads\" (I.e Beats, Skull Candy, etc). I\'m glad to report I was pleasantly surprised.Fit:Great. Very small, very light. The cord looks to be tough and is pretty tangle free. I don\'t like the 45 degree jack (I prefer a 90 degree)...but that\'s not a deal-breaker. It should be noted that it comes with 8 sets of tips (all silicone). But the black tips are much softer than the clear tips. The clear tips caused ear fatigue the first couple times, but switching to the same size of the black tips allowed for a better seal and more comfortable fit.Mic:Have used these on several conference calls (both on my Mac using Skype and on my iPhone 6s) and have been told the sound was very clean.Sound:Lows: Fantastic. They go low, very low. And they are very rich/deep (great for modern Trap and House tracks), but also have plenty of punch to keep up with Flea from the Chili Peppers and Lars from Metallica. The bass is also not overbearing or intrusive (muddying the mids the way Beats do)Mids: Not as warm or inviting to vocal-heavy music as a pair of Shure 315 would be...but like I said, I do tend to prefer a \"v-shaped\" sound. They were slightly warmer in the mid and upper mid range compared to the Sennheiser.Highs: Sennheiser are known for their great clarity and highs...and this is where (aside from the bass) I think the Zn should get more credit. The Highs from these headphones is great. Very clearly articulated without the sharpness or piercing that I get from the Sennheisers. I didn\'t even realize how harsh the highs were until I spent a week comparing them. The Highs are just as present with the Zn, but they don\'t crash at the high end of the spectrum the way my Momentum did. I guess some would call that \"sparkle,\" but after comparing both I found the V-moda to have a much more laid back tone without sacrificing any clarity .Separation and Stage: This is another area where the V-moda really pulled away. The stage seems much larger than the Momentum and the separation much more delineated. Again, I was pretty pleased with the Momentum until I really started scrutinizing them and comparing...guess I didn\'t know what I was missing.So, there you have it. I think that for $180 you can\'t do much better, If you have the same preferences as I. If you like over-the-ear wires, or prefer less low end (for more classic rock, jazz, classical) then I\'d suggest the Shure SE215 or 315. You might also check out Fidue A71 or A73. If you are willing to shell out $300 I\'d recommend looking into the Sennehiser IE80, the RHA t20 or the Shure 425....all are amazing.
  • I have used these earbuds for 3+ weeks. I work 10-12 hour days, 5-6 days a week - that’s not including the countless additional hours I wear my earphones at home or studying at the library. Having nice quality earphones is very important to me. Hearing good quality tunes helps me get through the day and as stress free as possible! With such high volume usage, I go through a cheaper set of buds ($50-$120 range) about once a year which is why I decided to spend a little more to get a better quality this time around. When making spending decisions (especially in the $150+ range), I like getting the most bang for my buck as possible.I have a pair of V-Moda M-100 Crossfades which have wonderful sound, but with wearing eye glasses it can give me a nasty headache by the end of the day with the pressure on my glass frames. This is why I was seeking a good quality in-ear bud to replace my current Klipsch R6i which were ok but they didn\'t have the bass punch I wanted. After months of extended researching since I wanted to be absolutely sure I was getting the right set, borrowing in-ear cans so I can test the Focal Sphear, Bose, Beats,Etymotic, and many more I finally decided to go out on a whim and try the ZN’s since the sound quality on my M-100s was great.I DEFINITELY got the bang for my buck with these puppies, even paying full price! I listen to a lot of electronica, some rap, some contemporary, jazz, classical, and Indie. I haven’t found a genre yet that sounds bad on these. The bass is perfect and the vocals don’t disappear – soundstage is fantastic. I did find that the vocals were a tad bit fuzzy but it was so minor that it’s not a deal-breaker for me at all (since I do prefer my bass) and this was rectified by using my Comply foam tips (more below).I am a female with fairly small ear canals so comfortability (especially for the long hours I wear my buds) is an issue with most earbuds out there. Even with using the stock ear bud covers in XS they were very comfortable to use all day! I have a variety pack of Comply ear tips (currently using the sport ones) which I prefer to use over the stock covers since the sound quality was a tad better on the vocals.I find that even in an office setting I can have the volume low and still hear what’s going on around me. If I want to zone out the noise around me, I just turn up the volume a tad and the noise isolation works great.I had a hunch that I’d prefer the sound of my M-100s more before I received my ZN’s in the mail but I have to say I’m reaching for my ZNs and my M-100s are safely stored in the case. One thing I like about these is that they aren\'t flashy and they have the bonus of being able to answer/make calls which is nice (tested the sound quality and folks hear me loud and clear!) I also like that these buds seem very durable which means they’ll last a long time and I appreciate V-Moda’s Immortal Life program.I will update in 3-6 months to review durability.One tip of advice, when removing the stock ear tips be extremely careful! I accidentally ripped the tip so one of my XS tip sets are not usable – not a big deal though and I’m sure if I told V-Moda, they’ll send me another set of tips.
  • I have tried 5 different in ear headphones.** V-MODA Zn In-Ear Modern Audiophile Headphones $158 (Good sound, hi end and bass is a little exaggerated, not consistent with original mix but still good). Controls work good, volume up and down, pause, skip forward, skip backward.1MORE Quad Driver $110 (Terrible muddy sound, no definition).These headphones sound like $10 headphones. I was so disappointed I returned them.MEE Professional MX2 PRO 2 $99 (Awful muddy sound, lacking hi end and bass).I had to return them. Complete garbage.1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Earphones $53 (Muddy sound, lacking hi and mid end, bass is weak).I returned them. Grabage.These *** Shure AONIC 215 Wired Sound Isolating Earbuds sound fantastic and sound just like the original mix, no added bass, no added hi end just consistent true sound like the original mix.They seal out the outside sound like no other headphones.I use them on my Shuffle and IPhone. The controls work perfect for volume control and song pause, skip forward and skip rewind.$99 Worth every penny.
