0:00 First of all the track in the background is from Karmic Power Records

Alright guys, first of all the track in the background is from Karmic Power Records. I'll put a link in the description. It's entitled House Music and it's the original mix. Big shout out by the way to Mr Lenny Fontana for letting me use his tracks in my videos. Now this video... This video is a little bit about, or in fact it's all about, Vmoda and their new 3D shields. They have been out for a while. If you're not familiar with Vmoda there will be a link in the description. Go and check out their headphones that have won awards all the way around the world. Now, a while ago they released some shields that you can pretty much pimp up yourself. Laser print your name on there, your DJ name, whatever you wanted to. Pretty much, well loads of colours.

But what they've done recently is they have released 3D shields that are bumpy, grindy and just take that pimp vibe, should I say, to the next level. In this video I'm going to show you some of them and these shields were featured at the BPM show, the NEC, just about a week ago. So are you up for maybe pimping your M100s, maybe your LP2s or maybe your X? Let's have a look at some of the shields. So I'm just going to put the camera down here and let's check them out. First of all, how about something like that? Now this here is for the LP2 also for the M100. This is polished gold steel. So what does that mean? Well, it's steel and then it's gold on the top. So what I like about these is they're very tactile. They're very sort of touchy-feely.

Now you'll notice that has just got a nice kind of feature on there. It's almost as though someone has inscribed some really nice design on there, very random kind of arty design. I'll put that one there. Now this one here, believe it or not, is solid silver and you can just feel, it's almost the energy on that. You want to touch that, you want to hug it. And that is solid silver again. That is fantastic. For the M100 or your LPs. Now I've got the M100 here, now that looks rather sexy there. Now that looks pretty, in fact that looks just pimped up big time. Now bearing in mind that's silver, okay? So let's have a look at XS which is short for extra small. The VK by the way is the initials of the CEO of V-Moda, Val Colt. Okay so there you go.

2:42 What else have we got here?

Now that looks rather good, doesn't it? That one there is bronze so you can pretty much have any material you want. Now that is rose gold plated. Now that is absolutely beautiful. It's quite a nice mirror finish to that as well so if you had a pin spot hitting that it would give a bit of bling off and again what I'm finding is the shinier the metal the more it stands out on The DJ Tutor is available for purchase at Ellaskins. If you put these, let's say, on the white M100 then that stands out. That shouts out a little bit more. I like that. Alright, what else have we got here? We've got this one here which is polished gold as well and put that over the white to give you an idea. That again is just serious bling but I'm liking maybe that on the black. Again, that does look...

Rather sexy what else have we got steel on the black and lastly I have been given to use the bronze on black okay so it's a small selection here a very small selection now what you have to bear in mind let me just move the camera is you can have pretty much any design And just go and follow the instructions. You can send your design. Now, this is where the fun begins because there are different materials used. You can go relatively cheap through to, if you want to, where you're paying thousands of dollars. I haven't seen them yet, I've been told, and go platinum, which is absolutely crazy because they'd probably cost thousands of dollars to have them made and your headphones would only be a couple of dollars or a few hundred, should I say.

Is you're giving your headphones that sort of, not so much you're pimping them, but you're making them your own. You're making them unique. Now, doing something like this is not going to make you a better DJ. It's not going to make you all of a sudden mix and cut far better. What it will do though, is it will tell people who you are and it'll give you that, I don't know, that sort of just, I am me, these are my headphones, this is who I am and no one else will ever be the same, alright? Check out the link in the description, take you to vmoda.com and also a big once again thank you very much to Lenny Fontana for letting me use his cuts, practice and enjoy. Thank you. Let's turn this off.
