V-MODA Vibrato Headphones Reviewed: They're Worth It

Posted by Jason Dunn in "Digital Home Hardware & Accessories" @ 07:30 AM

If you've ever shopped for headphones, you've likely come across V-MODA. They make a variety of headphones in different price segments, but I've never reviewed any of them until now. I was offered the chance to review the V-MODA Vibrato headphones ($129.99 USD from Amazon), and since I'd heard good things about V-MODA headphones, I said yes. I'm glad I did, though that conclusion took some time to get to. Confused? Keep reading. Read more...

Engadget Reviews Westone 4 High-End IEMs

Posted by Adam Krebs in "Digital Home Hardware & Accessories" @ 12:00 PM

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/28/...rphones-review/

"Westone isn't exactly a household name, even in the earphone universe. But what the company lacks in recognition, it more than makes up for in quality. If you'll recall, we had a listen to its ES5 custom in-ear monitors earlier in the year, and while they cost a staggering $950, they also managed to melt our brain and thoroughly spoil us in the process. Thankfully, there's a budget alternative: the Westone 4. Granted, even 50 percent off still lands you right around $449, but many audiophiles would argue that said price is a small one to pay when looking at a quad-driver setup, a three-way crossover network and an insanely robust set of earbud tips. There's no question that these guys are aimed at the professionals in the crowd, and if you're interested in seriously stepping up your mobile listening game, you owe it to yourself to peek our full review."

Engadget's Darren Murph delves into Westone's new $450 IEM headphones and finds a lot to like, with an even range across highs, mids, and even low frequency sounds. These are clearly dedicated headphones, with no in-line media controls, no microphone, and no cable extension but the power and lightness of these phones reportedly can hold its own. Westone has just started shipping the phones, but it's up to you to decide if it's worth $450 for a set of earbuds with few bells. Read onto the source article for the full review.

Turtle Beach Ear Force Z2 Reviewed

"Turtle Beach has built a reputation as one of the premier manufacturers of gaming headsets, and its latest product, the Ear Force Z2 ($69.99), is no exception. These comfortable and collapsible cans are not only less expensive than the competition, but deliver better sound, too. When coupled with an optional processor ($159 for combo), gamers can get 7.1 surround sound pumped into their ears for an even more immersive experience."

If you are going to game or perform any audio intensive activities on your computer you probably owe it to those you share your home with to look into a set of headphones. But no need to sacrifice sound quality. This offering from Turtle Beach appears to offer excellent quality without breaking the bank.
