The V-Moda Zn are high-end in-ear headphones with a cast Zinc housing. The newly developed, exceptionally dynamic 8mm drivers deliver "hand-tuned" tonal accuracy with minimal distortion. The die-cast zinc housing, with a metal density between that of aluminum and steel, delivers a unique acoustic performance and is supplied by world famous metal crafters.
Custom made Italian tuning filters help to guarantee a perfect and neutral sound. These special filters are made exclusively for V-Moda in strictly limited runs, thereby making the Zn headphones unique. Designed in Italy, the Zn headphones unite futuristic technology with sound without compromise in masterfully crafter materials, securing the optimal fit.
Four various sized BLISS 3.0 (Bass Level Isolating Soft Silicone) ear-pads prevent the intrusion of ambient noise and guarantee crisp bass and the best sound.
The in-house designed DiamondBack cables prevent tangling and are extremely robust. The V-Moda Zn and the integrated microphone are universally compatible and perfectly suited for all smartphones, tablets and the newest generation laptops including Apple and Samsung products, as well as all iOS, Android and Windows operating systems, plus Amazon Kindle and Blackberry devices.
The V-Moda Zn's are and excellent upgrade to my I-phone 8 earphones, which after a year and a half are falling to bits. I've matched the VN's with a UGreen lightening adapter (in place of the one that came with my iPhone). The Ugreen is stronger and actually does match the Kevlar cable of the VN's.
The VN's sound fantastic and with a choice of ear cups will fit any ear. I tried the smallest to begin with which went all the way into my ear. The sound was very detailed but I was at a loss when it came to hearing all that bass every reviewer was harping on about. When I changed for the next cup up the bass was revealed. Wow. Hard to believe they are buds at all.
My one caveat with the sound is with the bigger cups fitted there was a little cable movement interference at low volumes. My advice is use the shirt clip provided which will reduce this.
I'm giving it 4.5 out of 5 for sound.
The VN's cost me €149 from Music Store Professional which is the same price as replacing my iPhone cable with the same again. Sound-wise there is absolutely NO COMPARISON.
Listening to Radio Paradise on my ZN's is a thrill ride.
They are not tiring and you get a lot of extra goodies in the beautifully presented V-Moda packaging.
(The Ugreen adapter cable cost about €8 on Amazon)
Music Store Professional (Germany) as prompt and professional.
