0:00 I want to show you some art

I want to show you some art. So these headphones are from Vimoda, Frazzara and the Frazzara Metallo. You really want to express yourself in Italian even though I do apologise to my very good Italian friends, I don't speak Italian. But here we have some in-ear headphones. Now, first of all, I don't normally go on about how wonderful a box is, but check this out. It's... The crazy thing is about these is if you had loads of money, you'd buy two pairs because one you'd use and the other one you would put on the mantelpiece next to your pottery that's very expensive and just leave it there because it's like art in a box. It literally, it's... Sorry, but it's just such good quality. Even down to the lid is magnetic, so as you lift that up you can feel the pressure of the magnet pulling it down. That's just stunning. I know I'm going on, but OK. This area here, the front of it, where we can see displayed very nicely all of the headphone items, is not cellophane.

1:54 The headphones are about and what

It's plastic as well, so great care and time has gone into the design of the box. So, straight away what that should tell you is if someone is going to spend a great deal of time on manufacturing a box that is art in itself, then what the hell are the headphones going to be like? Outrageous. Let me describe a little bit that's said, or I'll just explain what the headphones are about and what you can expect. Okay, so you get a two-year warranty on them. Now also, I'm pretty sure this is correct, you get 50% immortal life replacement program. So what that means is let's say after two years something goes wrong, then if you do purchase another set, You'll get 50% off, but I believe you have to send them back to Vmoda. You can't just phone up and say, oh, they're broken, can I pay half? No, there has to be reason, just cause, you've got to send them so they can look at them. I mean, in a way it's great because for the company what they're doing then is they're looking at the problem and of course...

They can hopefully in future rectify that problem so it doesn't happen again. So, that is pretty cool. Let's have a look. Diamond back, ultra reinforced cable up to 20 times strength, which is of course what you want with something like this. They can be very delicate. Cheaper versions will just pull straight away. Cables here, very, very audiophile, high-resistant audio tuning, 5.8mm miniature ultra-lightweight high-performance speaker driver, detachable active flex port fins and ear hooks to ensure stability and flexibility and eliminate cable noise. So in other words, while you're running around, you can fit them around your ear. Great for the person who is into their sports. Now also, these are completely compatible with iPhone, iPod or iPad and most other devices but certain functions may vary if you're using other devices so there is the box and I'm going to have to open this now. I actually don't really want to. I know that sounds stupid but...

4:35 I can see people wanting to keep this because it's such good quality

I don't know, you just feel as though you just want to leave them in there and like look at them. Each set of V-Moder headphones will come sealed and you can see there's a nice cord there and we've got to either cut it with a pair of scissors or just get a knife under there, sharp knife hopefully, and pull, there we go. The virginity has gone, that's it. I'm sorry, you can't be a virgin for a second time. Pull this out and there we have it. Right, now straight away what we've got is, we've got, again I mentioned about the box, alright, and I don't want to go into this too much but it's the sort of thing that you would want to keep. I can see people wanting to keep this because it's such good quality.

As you can see up there, there's one of them that has one of the ear attachments on and the other one doesn't. So I'm just going to pull that through there like that. Push that one out and push that part out as well. Everything is quality here. There is nothing at all that has just been cheapskated even down to the foam in here. It's lined. I mean it's just balmy. But it's good barmy, these are our headphones. And they do look rather sexy. Now also as well with these headphones, I don't know if you're familiar with any of the other Vmoda headphones but you can get your own custom shields made. Well you can actually do that with these as well so you can get your own custom 3D printed shields. So the best thing to do is check out the link in the description, go to vmoda.com

6:35 I'll put a link in the description as well to that mix

And just make inquiries. So that, sorry there are the headphones. Let's have a look, see what we've got here. Let's have a look inside here. Right, I'm going to open this up. What else have we got? Okay, so we've got a clip. Of course that will help you with the cable. Clip the cable to maybe your running kit or your shirt or your jacket. These of course go around your ears, help them to stay in place and there are plenty of little earbuds there depending on the size of your ear or if a couple get rather dirty you can replace. So there's a lot going on here. You know, there is a lot going on. And also you get a bit of info there on V-Moder. Activate your Premier warranty and 50% I forgot to say actually, don't forget your pouch. I'll put a link in the description as well to that mix. You've got to check out about 23 minutes into the mix.

What a hell of a good tune. I mean, like, seriously good. It's got that vibe, that Deep House sort of just chugging vibe, man. All I can tell you about the sound, it's rich and very deep. Once these are in your ears properly, it's like you're listening to something that's a lot bigger. The sound is very refined, it's very warm, it's very tuneful, and it's also very deep. God, you're sod off now. There will be info in the description. These are the Frisara metallo, metal in ear headphones, okay? And we have the Frisara as well which are the non-metal and you can get 3D printed caps for these as well. Alright so check out link in description and I will finish off with practice and enjoy.
