Bumping this thread since we have a couple of new VxV owners and some impressions!

And finally the VxV - what I came home with. Love 'em! The tuning is very similar to the M5 - the sound is even, nothing over emphasized. Tonally accurate, engaging, detailed. They make me want to keep listening. To over simplify it, they sound like the M5 but less refined. The M5 is like a slight haze is lifted and everything is clearer compared to the VxV. The M5 is deeper, bass is tighter / faster. But the VxV is definitely in the same family. The VxV is detailed and chill at the same time. To make a poor comparision, they remind me a little of the HD660s: if you focus on the sound all of the detail is there, but if you just let it play in the background it’s not going to shove the detail down your throat. By shifting my focus I can engage with the music, or let it just play on. (To be fair, the VxV is clearer and more detailed than the HD660s, just a similar listening experience.)
