Their latest V-MODA XS on-ear headphones feature a folding, lightweight design with noise-isolation to boot. Translation for travelers: ultra-durable, ultra-portable and pure blissful quiet for your next long-haul flight.
The headphones you’ve been waiting for to complete your “I’m a badass fighter pilot” look
As an ultra-minimalist traveler, I’m inclined to pack a great pair of earphones because my primary concern is the amount of space that gadgetry occupies in my pack. But the XS makes this decision a tough one – they’re extremely durable and fold into a much smaller footprint than any pair of premium on-ear headphones we’ve ever seen.

- 40mm Dual-Diaphragm Drivers (patent-pending)
