Testing:

For testing we will be going through mainly sound quality. I will be testing the highs, mids, and lows, along with the over all speed response. I will also be testing the V-moda’s with the Qinpu Q2 desktop amp to see how well they perform with analog amperage. Before I do any testing I will be burning the V-Moda Vibe ii Earphones in for 24 hours before testing to ensure the sound quality is at its peak. If a headphone or earphone is not properly burned in the voice coils tend to be stiff and do not produce the full potential of the earbud or headphone.

Highs (Treble):

One thing I must say about these is that the treble is extremely loud which is perfect if you are a speed metal fan and love the sound of your brain being ripped apart by banshee screams. The treble is the most sibilant of any earbuds I have reviewed to date. Sibilance and smoothness of treble are personal preference I for one prefer smooth. Once I used my Qinpu Q2 amp in conjunction with the V-Moda Vibe ii Earphones I was pleasantly surprised how nicely the analog portion of the tube amplification affected the sibilance.

If you like a very piercing hiss to your treble (great as I said for metal songs), the V-Moda Vibe ii Earphones are great stock. If on the other hand you like a bit of smoothness to your treble, while still getting a nice bright sounding treble, adding in a tube or hybrid amp like the q2 would be a match made in heaven for you. Of course the down side of this is that you cannot bring the Q2 with you when you jog so you will have to tough it out.

Mid's (Mid Range):

I have to say out of all of the earbuds I have reviewed as of late these are by far the best for mid-range. Vocals and guitar are very easily distinguished, and come through much clearer than any of the other buds I used. The bass is nice on the V-Moda Vibe 2 Earphones but not over powering like cheaper “bass buds” I have heard in the past. The smooth bass makes the mid-range a lot more prominent and easily picked out from the other frequencies.

These are perfect buds for alternative rock because they have all the vocals you need with the right amount of bass to appreciate the drum-heavy songs that pair themselves with this genre.

Low's (Bass) and Speed:

Unlike the Zagg Zbud’s the V-Moda Vibe 2 Earphones bass is not over powering. I had to play with the equalizer occasionally with the Zbuds to get to the point where I could hear the mid-range. The bass is very clean and deep with the Vibe ii’s, out of everything I was most impressed with the quality of the bass these little buds produced. For bass I tried some Yo-Yo Ma’s cello, Timbaland, and Common. The V-Moda Vibe 2 Earphones performed seamlessly with all ranges of bass.

The speed response for punk and house music was unbelievable they hit every note without problems with triplicate tones blending together or one long bass hit when there were supposed to be multiple fast punches.

Over all the V-Moda Vibe 2 Earphones were amazing they are 10 times the Earphone that the Zbuds where. I personally hate all of the bonuses they make everything cumbersome but this is my opinion and you may love these options. Let's see the final consensus:
