V-moda Zn In-Ear Modern Audiophile Headphones
About V-Mode
V-MODA, the award-winning maker of world-class high-fidelity headphones and audio devices, began its partnership with Roland on 8th August 2016 (#808Day). The merger provided V-MODA with the resources to accelerate product research and development, push the boundaries of audio innovation, and reach a global audience of style-conscious music lovers.
Much more than simply a business deal, the partnership was part of a greater vision for the growth of both brands, pairing V-MODA’s passion for high-quality sound, materials, and design with Roland’s legendary and genre-changing audio expertise and commitment to excellence. In early 2019, Roland fully acquired V-MODA in the natural next step of the partnership’s evolution: Stay tuned, the best is yet to come.
ROCK SAFELY
Enjoy your music responsibly. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, “listening to headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time can directly result in lifelong hearing loss”. At V-MODA, we are dedicated to providing an enjoyable listening experience, but we also care greatly about your personal health and safety. We recommend that you listen to your headphones at comfortable volume levels for reasonable periods of time.
How to enjoy your music responsibly.
- Turn down the volume. A good point of reference is half volume.
- Limit listening time. Give your hearing a “time out.”
Be aware of your surroundings. Do not use headphones during activities such as driving, bicycling, or jogging while on public roads. Many states have laws prohibiting such actions. Obey local laws, be alert, and listen responsibly. Caution around children. Keep out of reach of children, the parts included with this product can be a choking hazard. This product is not intended for children under 7 years of age.

If you are experiencing trouble with your headphones, please refer to the troubleshooting guidelines below. If the problem persists, please contact the V-MODA Six Star Service at V-MODA.com/SUPPORT or 1.888.VMODA.LA.
| TROUBLE | SUGGESTIONS |
| No audio | Make certain the audio device’s headphone jack is free of debris and that the headphone plug is securely connected. |
| Lack of or excessive bass or treble | Turn off any audio enhancement features on the audio device. Ensure proper fitting is being used. |
| One earphone is quieter than the other | Remove the silicone fitting and briskly blow into the earpiece. (It is possible there is debris inside the housing, lodging sound driver in place.) NOTE: Do not put your mouth around the earbud. |
| Distorted sound | Check to make sure the problem is not with the audio device or the file to which you are listening. Ensure the EQ settings on the device are set properly. Make certain proper fitting is being used that you have a snug fit (similar to that of an ear plug) and that the driver is pointed directly towards the ear canal. |
- REPLACEMENT ACCESSORIES

To keep your headphones clean, periodically remove the silicone fitting and wipe the earpiece with a dry cloth. Replace silicone fitting when done. - NOTE ON STATIC ELECTRICITY
In particularly dry air conditions, mild tingling may be felt in your ears. This is a result of static electricity accumulated in the body, and not a malfunction of the headphones.
Wearing clothes made from natural materials can minimize the effect.

FAQs About V-moda Zn In-Ear Modern Audiophile Headphones
Does investing in audiophile headphones make sense?
A solid set of audiophile-level headphones is necessary if audio quality is your top priority.
What attributes do audiophiles seek in headphones?
Many people connect flat response with audiophile-grade sound quality. The frequency range’s numerous sub-ranges are neither noticeably boosted or reduced by headphones with this sound characteristic.
Use of headphones among audiophiles?
Because headphones don’t rely on the room’s acoustics like speakers do, many audiophiles prefer to listen to music that way.
IEM use by audiophiles: Why?
The main benefit may be their capacity to deliver precise and detailed sound reproduction.
Why are audiophiles so pricey?
The second type of purchaser may appear extreme or even unreasonable to those who are new to the audio industry, yet there is a good reason why high-end audio gear may be so pricey. Because they are customized to a user’s interests and preferences, hi-fi installations are very expensive.
What can audiophiles discern?
An enthusiast of high-fidelity sound reproduction is known as an audiophile. Typically using closed headphones, in-ear monitors, open headphones in a quiet listening environment, stereo speakers in a room with appropriate acoustics, or other high-end audio equipment, an audiophile strives to recreate recorded music in the highest possible sound quality.
What volume do audiophiles play music at?
80-85 dB on average. The loudness is “loud enough to hear every detail but not so loud that the whole house shakes.”
What characteristics define an audiophile?
They are interested in the technical aspects of sound reproduction as well as how songs are recorded.
High audio quality: What is it?
The sampling frequency of high-resolution audio files is 96 kHz/24 bits, which is far higher than the 44.1 kHz/16-bit sample frequency of CDs.
Do audiophiles in fact enjoy music?
The main point is that clear audio makes it simpler to experience the music. Audiophiles are looking for a means to engage with the music we are listening to more deeply.
