Would I better off buying the V Moda Bass Freq or the Vibes? I'm wondering what the differences are between the V Moda Bass Freq and the V Moda Vibes?

Don't know why it took so long for somebody to reply to this post. The Bass Freq has a plastic body and is lighter. The Vibes are made with metal bodies and have a more durable wire for more durability. But as a trade-off, they are heavier. The vibes also have a stronger bass driver and better internal shielding. Most people don't notice the difference, but if you are really picky on sound and listen to a lot of classical music or jazz the vibes provide more detailed low end sound. For my money, as long as you don't mind plastic buds, the Bass Freq is the way to go. Similarly, in the same $30 price range the remix-Ms also come in metal, without the extra driver weight of the vibes. Some people like myself really prefer metal and extra strong wires and internal components. But if you don't care then save the $50 difference and get the Bass Freqs or the remix Ms.

Well... I don't have the sl150 but I have a similar head phone which compare to the sl150, which is the beats studio and vmoda m100 is so much better then the beats too. I know with the sl150 it is mostly plastic, which you have to be more careful with, but I can,t tell you how many time I drop them on the ground. If you choosing between soul or vmoda I'm would definitely prefer you to the vmoda m100 hands down the best choice. Any more question just ask a way

I did a lot of research on these. The LP are heavily discounted from the V-Moda MSRP. Definitely best bang for your buck. The LP2's have slightly more enhanced base according to V-Moda, but trust me the LP is already base-heavy.

BOSE has better bass. I would like more bass to my DNA headphones... But def good for its price, really clear sound

Couldn't find any info on freq. stuff. If you care about the sound quality as in while listening to music...it depends on your ears...personally I had to specifically listen for difference, and, honestly, there was - sound gets a bit shallow and there is some loss in volume(as in fullness, not loudness).

I have the Bose QC15, IMHO, not worth the money. More hype than anything. At least with the Beats, you get bass.

Sure, go ahead and take a bite of the apple, you surely won't die!Seriously, why take the chance. Go with the Skullcandy Ink'd instead. They sound nearly exactly like the more expensive V-Moda Base Freq.

These are closer to the studio version. In my opinion the solo beats are a bit flimsy, these look more appealing. Bought as a Christmas gift for my fiance and chose these because they look more sturdy and masculine. Hopefully this helps you.

In my humble opinion the noise isolation feature of my V_Moda crossfade's are far superior than the Bose QC series headphones. One of my co-workers has the Bose QC-25's I tried them and he tried mine he agreed with me as well!

I'm not sure. I tried to Google to see if V-Moda was comparable to Beats, but couldn't find the answer. I paid less than $10 for the LE headphones. It can't "beat" to order and use Amazon's quick return policy if they don't work:)

It depends on what type of music you listen to. Beats headphones are known for their bass. If your music that you listen to has a lot of bass in it then I would suggest to beats headphones

More refined, better quality bass. Better mids and hights. I will quote this reviewer who heard a cheaper and not as good pair of Ultrasone's, "I have the ultrasone hfi 580s and am borrowing my friends beats pro over the weekend and i have compared them. The beats suck. They have decent bass but the music lacks mids/ highs, clarity and depth. Ultrasones kick the crap out of beats in th bass catagory. The ultrasones have a deeper and tighter bass. It sounds great. In the beats, the bass is only ok, it sounds flat and artificial. My sennheiser hd 238 has about as much bass unamped an they are half th size!" Hope this helps.

Dear Rick, this will be far worse than V-moda. Fidelio is an open-back headphone. It gives all the sound in your ear and out while letting almost all outer noise in. Which means you'll hear the noise more than normal headphones and the ones in the room will easily hear what you're playing, even in the middle volume. If you didn't like v-moda, you should look for first, closed-back (v-moda is closed back but not well enough) then you should look for noise cancelling. There's a technology called active noice cancelling, some headphones like Bose qc15 has, it produces an audiowave countering the background noise and blocking all, even when you're not playing any music inside the headphone, just open the noice cancelling and it almost cuts off everything, perfect for planes, trains etc. Bose is considered as the best in active noice cancelling but there are others too.

JBuds J2 sound ok. To me it fills like your missing part of the sound with them. The bass isnt full and cant hear the hi hat on the drums. Im gonna try the V-MODA next to find some better earbuds

I have the shure e2cs and they were great at isolation but they were very uncomfortable to wear for long periods, and difficult to get seated correctly. I also have V-moda vibe ii and they are the best i've used. Their bass is far superior to the e2cs but its not overpowering either. I would go for them. However i paid $60 (on amazon) for the shures and $120 for the vmodas.

There is some controversy about the bass on Ety's. Most headphones these days emphasize bass whereas Etymotics are designed to be scrupulously neutral. Bass is there as long as you choose tips that give you a good seal (important with any IEM) but if you are looking for a thumping "bass-freak" headphone (for hip hop for example), the Ety's probably aren't it. Haven't heard the 215 but have a friend who owns a pair. Suspect they are if anything a little 'bassier' than the Ety.
