V-MODA Vibe Duo Earbuds/Headset (iPhone Compatible) - Black Reviews
I didn't have the original packaging (I had just moved across the country), so I was out of luck for the warranty. How can they charge so much for something that lasts for 3-6 months. Hope this helps. I now have a pair of Shure E4Cs on the way (which I'll be reviewing later). He shipped them to me and they worked for about 5 months before BOTH sides died (mysteriously, of course). While the sound quality is very good, I can't recommend a product that is so poorly made.
Luckily for me, a friend had a pair that he never used. Ridiculous. Nothing I did made a bit of difference. I had my first pair for 2 months, then the right ear mysteriously stopped working.
Too. I could control all the functions as with other headsets as well, though it was weird that the button was not on the same side as the microphone. Although I am not a "basshead," I appreciate good bass, something I felt was lacking a bit on the Etymotic hf2 before learning how to put them on properly. Bass. But the Vibe Duo's driver overpowers in bass, leaving the midrange and treble frequencies lacking. The stock Apple headset blew out the Vibe Duo in this regard. Let me explain myself. For most in-ear monitors, the buds must form a seal for good bass response and good noise isolation.
With the Etymotic hf2, and, to a lesser extent, the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 4vi, I felt that music was more up-front, more "live." But the Vibe Duo made it seem as if something was being held back from the music. Superb voice clarity, great fashion sense, but lacking in what matters most: clear, crisp, and refreshing sounds from your music. These are good if you want a step up from the stock iPhone headset, but not if you want the best sound.
Voice clarity was surprisingly good. It comes with three pairs of silicone buds in clear and in black for the right fit and look. But the Vibe Duo's driver alone delivers on the bass.
That is the nicest thing I could say about the Vibe Duo. After testing these against the Apple iPhone Stereo Headset, the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 4vi headset, and the Etymotic Research hf2 headset, I believe that these are inferior in terms of sound quality. Much.
The drivers also left the impression that something was missing. The V-Moda Vibe Duo is a sleek and stylish headset.
All-in-all, the best investment I have made for my iPhone. The sound is not as good as my Sennheiser PX 200, but they allow me to play my music at a reduced volume, lessening the strain on my ear. These earbuds are comfortable enough that I can wear them throughout the flight and at the same time, they remove about 80% of the noise in the airplane. If you fall asleep they do not bother you as a headset would. I fly a lot between the US and Europe, often 10 hour flights.
Ouch. The sound quality is excellent for your ipod, blackberry, etc. Although it didn't last as long as I had expected, the headset is good enough and warrant a repurchase. However, I'm already on my 2nd set within 6 months and I take good care of it. This is by far one of the best compact headphone I've encountered. V-Moda Vibe Earbuds (Gunmetal Black) The plastic covering of the cord near the earplug broke on both sides.
One of the speakers died, but I can sometimes get it to work by twisting the wire by the jack, but it's not worth it and it shouldn't happen.
The last 3 pairs had did not have the additional shielding which I thought was the cause of all the shorts that had occurred.
Try ANYTHING but Vmodas.
Now this pair has a short.
I do not recommend these at all poor quality.
Mind you the 4th pair has the redesigned jack as shown in the product picture.
I'm going to have to get a new pair of iPhone compatible headphones.
I'm on my 4th pair of these in 12 months.
Well I'm tired of shipping these back to california and having to wait for the replacements.
