V-MODA Unveils 3d Printed Custom Forza Series Certified Hi-Res Audio And Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones – Nov 03, 2016– Milan, Italy (Techreleased) – V-MODA, the award-winning maker of the world’s finest high-fidelity audio devices, today announced a new cutting-edge line of in-ear headphones: Forza, Forza Metallo and Forza Metallo Wireless. As a collection, the Forza products feature a newly developed 5.8mm micro dynamic driver Hi-Res Audio certified by the Japan Audio Society (JAS), a futuristic sweat-resistant technology, patent-pending sport fins for hybrid sport performance and the world’s first jewel-grade 3D printing customization of in-ears.
“It took years of precise engineering to develop this 5.8mm miniature dynamic driver size without sacrificing V-MODA’s world-class sound and quality standards,” says Val Kolton, V-MODA CEO. “To make the Forza lineup perfect for the active audiophile, it was critical to balance amazing sound with the ultimate ergonomics, fit and stability. The micro driver enables you to customize the product with your choice of new patent-pending ActiveFlex sport fins or spectacular 3D printed customization.”
Forza, in Italian, means “force” indicating the ability to be tough for whatever the day throws your way. Built to withstand the elements, Forza models are versatile to be your everyday companion for every situation from commuting to the gym.
Forza products are customizable via 3D Printed custom caps: revolutionize your in-ear headphones and forge your own personal relic with the patent-pending RemixRings. The first collection of 3D caps features the Milanese designs Steam Punk, V-MODA Logo, Lion Head and more to come. The cap materials and pricing include platinum (starting down from $7,500), 14k gold (starting down from $2,500), gold-plated (starting down from $250) and the newly developed and affordable HD Acrylic for $40 ($20 when bought with the headphones).
“In June 2015 we merged, for the first time in consumer electronics’ history, mass customization with jewel-grade 3D printing,” says Kolton. “Now we’re bringing additive manufacturing to in-ear headphones with our first collection of 3D printed custom caps. Not only can you remix your design, but you can optimize the design with an enhanced tailored fit.”
Forza Metallo Wireless is the high-performance and ultra-sleek headphone companion designed for your demanding everyday life. It brings the 30+ editors’ choice award-winning V-MODA sound and new noise-canceling microphones to the era of Bluetooth In-Ears.
“All other in-ear wireless headphones have a variety of form factors with show stopping compromises or useless gimmicks. They either look like unsightly massive ‘plastic space ring around the collars’, Frankenstein bolts that will not stay in your ears or separate earbuds that are quickly lost, have reception issues and need a dongle or case. Our first in-ear Bluetooth headphone feature a minimal design that can hide under a shirt collar, maximum battery life, enhanced antenna and unrivaled all-day ergonomics,” comments Kolton. “With Forza Metallo Wireless we are unleashing audiophiles with ultimate ergonomics via our unique TrapLock titanium cable refined from dozens of anatomical tests conducted over years.”
The revolutionary TrapLock™ Titanium neckband is a design masterpiece and pushes the boundaries of stylish, fitted minimal design to stay on your shoulders in every angle. A new special nanocoating technology makes the headphones sweat and weather resistant. While water is the arch-enemy of all electronics, sweat is the supreme killer liquid for sport headphones with its unique acidity. Ironically, many of the best water-proof headphones in the market fail sweat-tests.
