Electronics V-Moda Vibe Duo Earbuds / Headset (iPhone Compatible) - Gunmetal Rouge
Books and Publications Average Rating:

Rating: - Great Design with average to below average sound (too much treble)
I've read lots of the reviews. And I'm surprised how many reviews talk about how great these headphones sound. There is sooooo much treble in these headphones you can hear every symbol crash to excess. And the bass is below average or average at best. If you use the iphone EQ you can improve the sound and make them sound better than the iPhone standard.

Using the EQ you can make the sound better than average. But the overall design is great. The earbuds look stylish and are very comfortable. The cloth covered cord is functional and stylish. I especially like the button on the mic that will pause, play and skip to next selection. This is an AWSOME feature.

Overall Design - 5 of 5
Sound Quality - 2 of 5 without iPhone EQ
Sound Quality - 3.5 of 5 with iPhone EQ

Rating: - V-Moda iPhone headphones
I like performance, but this is my second purchase of these headphones and both have stopped playing music in one ear in less than 1 year of use. I am going to contact V-moda, but this is poor design in my opinion.

Rating: - Not worth the price
I expected the V-MODA earbuds to be of good quality given the price. However, when walking outside with any sort of breeze, they would whistle noticeably. Regardless of wind the audio quality wasn't any better than the s headphones that come standard with the iPhone. After 6 months of regular usage, they started working intermittently before one side dying out completely. Given some of the other reviews, I should have seen this coming.

Rating: - Sound great, until they break. No durability.
The wires at the headphone casings on TWO sets of these rather pricey head phones have split or come out of the casing, exposing the wire itself, then leading to no sound in the left ear.
Having purchased a pair each, my BF and I both use them with varying shades of delicacy (I might be a bit easier on mine) and yet, they fell apart at equal rates, within 4 months.
Tried mailing them back to company for a replacement, but it would not be so...
Sound quality was great and they felt good in my ear, but at $75 or more every three months to keep that benefit I don't think so. I wonder if the sudden iPhone madness had them using suppliers or manufacturers that let some quality slide to meet orders, because I used to think V-MODA had some quality stuff. Now, I will be moving to Sennheiser I think, who made my home theater wireless headsets, and we do love those.
Over all, I must conclude durability on these is poor at best.
