The V1/V1S were the first earphones model released by VJJB, and they took the consumers by storm thanks to their unique design. The sound quality received mainly good feedbacks, so I decided to hear it for myself. I've got to say that those are excellent earphones for people who listen mainly to vocal-oriented music with suble bass content. However, if you like bass-heavy electronic music, you will be disappointed, as these earphones provide quick but shallow bass response, only enough for warming up the vocals.

Pros

  • Vocal-oriented music styles sound enjoyable with these earphones.
  • Even though it's shallow, the bass is exceptionally quick, which may be related to the small driver size.
  • Extremely comfortable to wear.
  • A superb design and use of materials.

Cons

  • The bass is quite shallow and cuts off somewhere in the mid-bass, to the level of subtle distortions.
  • The cable is coated with a stiff silicone which retains bends easily.
  • The cable was folded tightly inside the pouch. Never do that.
  • The package contents are inconsistent. The product is mainly advertised with a full retail package, while you won't usually receive it in reality.

Comfort & Fit

Very comfortable earphones. Their shape offers a firm hold and seal even with the included generic tips.

Lows / Bass

The bass is very quick and precise, but is also shallow and no sub-bass can be heard at all. Moreover, on deep bass content, the bass gets somewhat distorted.

Mids / Vocals

The mids and vocals are very warm and surrounding. The soundstage is great and the vocals are positioned in a comfortable distance from your ears, which makes the whole listening experience very comfortable and pleasant.

Highs / Treble

The highs are quite vivid and precise but not exceptionally sharp. Some delicate detail is being smoothed out.
