History

The company was founded in 2004 by Val Kolton, a professional DJ and producer. He originally focused on technological innovation and new patents to develop the "Kolton Technology" fashion headphone lines for DJs. The products and brand were designed in Italy, in Milan and Venice, on frequent design research trips. In 2006 the firm launched several product lines and became the first high-fidelity fashion headphone manufacturer, with 33,000 units in 11 colors, and the company changed its name to V-MODA.
In 2007, working with Apple, the company released the Vibe Duo product line completely designed for Apple iPhones and iPods, a milestone for the business. This was the first third-party headphone for Apple iPhone & iPod.
V-MODA began developing the M series in 2010. 2011 saw the launch of the first M series on-ear headphones, the M-80, soon followed by the M-100 over-ear headphones. Around the same time, the company opened its Hong Kong office to handle logistics, manufacturing and sales for the Asia Pacific and Europe Regions. In 2013, Val Kolton moved to Milan and Munich to form V-MODA Milano S.r.l. design studios. V-MODA Milano creates and designs all the products and content for V-MODA worldwide subsidiaries.
