Pros
Pro Aircraft grade metal earpieces, reinforced cables
The V-Moda Forza Metallo has amazing build quality for in-ear headphones. The earpieces are made from CNC-forged aircraft metal which gives makes them really solid yet still fairly lightweight. The cable is also reinforced so it will not break easily even if twisted a little too much. These in-ear headphones can definitely survive being stuffed in a pocket or chucked into a bag.
Pro Powerful bass, detailed highs, forward mids
The sound signature has deep and powerful bass, giving you a lot of thump from bass drum hits and other low frequency sound sources. Highs also have good detail and airiness to them. Also notable are the mids which are a bit forward so vocals can still be easily appreciated despite the powerful bass and the crisp highs.
They're enjoyable to use for a wide variety of music, but bass heavy tracks are what they will work with best.
Pro Has many options for a snug fit
You can wear these in-ears like you would standard in-ear headphones, but if you want to keep them more snug in your ear, you can choose to attach the included ear hooks and wings which will provide better fit and help them stay in place in your ear better.
Cons
Con Bass can be too much
If you prefer more neutral sounding headphones, especially from the lower frequencies, you may want want to stay clear from these. The Forza Metallo's bass is quite powerful and prominent, and while this does not muddy up the other frequencies, the power and impact from the bass may just be too much for you.
