V-MODA Remix Remote

Isolation (8.13)

The typical in-ear headphone user goes out into the noisy world quite often. In many ways, the in-ear design is the ideal choice when you are listening to music outside the home or office as it provides superior noise attenuation and is a little more resilient to weather.

Looking at the graph below, you can see that the V-MODA Remix Remotes at worst offer 10dB of noise attenuation in the low end, then gradually block out more sound as it gets closer to 5kHz. All-around, this is a pretty decent result, and will block out a good amount of noise: about the same in the low end as your average ear plugs.

Leakage (7.73)

Despite the typical advantages of the in-ear design, the V-MODA Remix Remotes actually do leak a tiny bit of sound. Granted, it’s so small that you’re unlikely to bother anyone around you in public.

Maximum Usable Volume (8.89)

You can crank your V-MODA Remix Remotes pretty hard before you make them output a level of 3% distortion, but we like to remind all of our readers that you should never push your headphones this high, due to the possibility that you can damage your hearing permanently.
