"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




"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.

"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.

"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.




"Sound quality acceptable; design severely flawed"
This is what I wrote to V-Moda...

"I am writing to you to provide some feedback concerning your Vibe Duo headphones. First of all let me say that I have no complaints about the sound quality of the headphones or the microphone. Both are very good. That being said I have several complaints of a design nature, which are severe enough that I will never buy another pair of your headphones."

"Let me break this down into two, specific issues. The first has to do with the junction between the left and right cords. My experience has been that the sharply edged top of the metal piece is constantly getting caught on different surfaces. If I bend over while sitting at a desk or table it gets caught on the underside and yanks the headphones, painfully, out of my ears. In the month that I have been using these headphones this has happened at least three or four times. Looking at the part in question it is easy to see how rounding out the corners could have taken care of this problem from the start, but then that wouldn't have been as "stylish"..."

"The second issue is related to the first and has to do with the microphone piece on the right cord. Again we find a sharply cornered and angular piece that is constantly getting caught on things. If I use these headphones while wearing a collared shirt the mic piece catches on the collar, tugging painfully on the earphones. If I wear a jacket with a zipper the same thing happens. This painful experience is repeated at least every five to ten minutes that I am wearing the headphones, and again it is easy to see how a rounding out of the corners and an overall smoothing of the design could have made this a non-issue before the first pair were even sold."

"I realize that people who wear collared shirts and zippered jackets may note be part of your trendy demographic, but considering the number of them being sold in many different retail outlets I think you may have to broaden your ideas. I'm also sorry to say that I won't be selling your headphones to anyone either. You see, I work in one of those retail outlets I mentioned just a moment ago, and based on my experience with the Vibe Duos I definitely will not be recommending them to anyone."
