V-Moda
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- V-moda introduced me to decent sounding iems back in like 2007. They were much better than bass heavy sony IEMs I used back in 2004.
- V moda was actually the company that got me into this hobby.
Cons
- The quickest, and furthest fall from grace possible ever tbh
- It’s not the best feeling having a giant buy and dissolve a brand I grew up loving. But I’m happy that they are using the name and coming up with new stuff that people can fall in love with like I did.
- My VModas are some of the best sounding, least comfortable headphones I own. I can't even get past an hour even though I'd like to
- They were in a niche that I admittedly wish still existed today: bass-boosted with “audiophile” clarity.
- the thing is that v-moda is in like a 'beats-like' state, in which they still do something, but it is not as wide as it should be for a supposed active brand

It seemed like they never understood whether their market was gamers or audiophiles and failed at both.
