I had been looking for a replacement for my old Sony monitor headphones.I was thinking about 5.1 or wireless ones and then a few days ago the V-MODA was a today's deal.After reading the reviews and checking some Audiophile review sites I decided to give them a try.Checking the packaging and carry case top notch and the two braided kevlar cables are the best I have seen on a set of cans.Now the sound excellent right out the box blows the Sonys away.I have two pairs of Ultimate Ears that have great sound the V-Modas beats them.I use Flim & the BB's Tricycle to test any audio components because I know what its supposed to sound like.The highs are crisp and the bass sounds the way it's meant to be.Some say the bass is overpowering I don't think so not like Beats that sound terrible.I'm burning them so the sound should get even better.I very happy with this deal. 

Question: How loud does the bass sound?
Answer: the sound excellent right out the box blows
