Warning: there are multiple versions of the Vibe headphone! June 1, 2008
When I first bought the Vibe, I was very unimpressed and didn't understand why it got favorable professional reviews. Checking on the web, I found that the initial batch of Vibes in 2004 (?) were good, then the 2005-2006 (approx.) were not nearly as good and the models available from 2007 got better. I have now both the 2005 and 2007 versions and the latter is significantly better than the 2005.
Now, I'm not nick picking here and am not an audiophile (my entire stereo system is <$500) but there truly is a world of difference. You can tell the versions by the plug - the earlier ones were smooth and the later ones have "teeth" - you can also look at the "first offered at Amazon" date in the description.
4 stars for the 2007, 2 stars for the earlier.
 Defective, and Out of Pocket Return Shipping April 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't know how to explain my disappointment with this product, I read good reviews and expected that I would be receiving a quality product, I got less then I bargained for.
My initial reaction was to how comfortable they sit in my ears, and to how stylish they look, definitely an incredible job in this department. The sound quality on the other hand, was nothing sort of disastrous. The bass sounds extremely muffled, and overdone. The midrange and highs might as well not exist, and this was after a burn in. To make it worse, a few hours ago I noticed a crackling sound coming out of the right bud, prevalent on multiple devices, I could only conclude it was a defect.
Not only was the sound extremely underwhelming, but these buds broke after only a few hours of use, they never even left my desk. To make it worse, V-Moda want me to pay for shipping costs to return their defective product. Not impressed.
 Good while they lasted April 19, 2008
I have had these earphones for a year and they were good while they lasted. The sound was okay and a major plus for me was that they stayed snug in the ears while exercising. For a couple of months I noticed that the left ear bud was a little sensitive to any little bumps on the wire. Then today while running on the treadmill, the left ear bud totally stopped working. It will work if you twist it a sudden way, but that doesn't do any good if you want to work out with them or move in any way. I would suggest looking for another set of earphones unless you are okay with shelling out this amount of money once a year for new headphones.
Excellent Earbuds March 30, 2008
These are the best earbuds I've tried to date. Apple should just include these with all their products instead of those cheesy white things.
poor build, terrible customer service March 22, 2008

Although the sound quality is good, they are built very poorly, malfunction quickly, and the V-Moda customer service is terrible. I enjoyed these for several months of regular use at normal volume before the left earbud stopped working (first cutting in and out with the cord's slightest movement). When I contacted V-Moda's warranty department - exactly following the instructions on their webpage - they never responded.
Check the reviews of this product: loss of sound in one or both earbuds is a very common problem after several months' usage. There are several other earbuds in this price range with professional build quality and responsive customer service. Do not waste your money on a company that builds shoddy products and does not respect its customers.
