TSCC: V-Moda Vibe In-Earphones $34.99

About time for me to contribute :P

I was lurking around during my break at work and noticed V-Moda in-earphones were on sale.

Not sure when this sale started but they were on sale for awhile last several days, but the price was at around $60 sale price.

However, today, it caught my eyes at only $34.99.

This is a very luxurious earphone at a reasonable price. Bass quality doesn't match with that of other high priced earphones but this earphone does shine when playing midrange and treble.

Anyways, here are the links

These have had tons of problems, they are being discontinued.

New model ships with a different jack connector. Sorry guys.

These look nearly the same and sound almost identical (I have compared them). However, you never know with uxcell, they change product quality all the time (different batches).

Thanks for the info. I wouldn't have known about that if you hadn't pointed it out.

A quick search and I found this site, http://gizmodo.com/5048667/new-v+mod...ones-hopefully
Apparently, if this one breaks, they will send out the new one with updated jack.

I can't confirm, but that's what the site says. I'll have to see when mine breaks :P

I was pretty interested at first, but after reading about the extremely variable sound quality and poor quality (many cases of one of the ear buds giving out after a few months) I'm going to steer clear.

For $35 it might be worth a try, but it's also not as good of a deal as it may seem at first glance.

You get what you pay for. Etymotic er6i is the best IEM for the buck imho. Heck if you factor in the added cost for more tips (foam+flanged) and the er6i cable breaking issue, you might as well pony up the $190 for the er4p's

The Vibes are essentially "fun" headphones, geared towards those that accessorize their iPod. It's a good upgrade on the basic headphones, and for that price, your ears will thank you. It doesn't offer the sound quality you'd expect for the MSRP's price of $100, but for ~$30, it's not half bad. A true audiophile would not be worried about the appearance of their headphones, nor would they be caught using iPods.

I've heard good things about the ER6i's wiring; thin does not mean fray.

The Head Direct RE2 has been rated as a better bang/buck than the er6i from the reviews I've read. (http://www.head-direct.com/product_detail.php?p=23 for those who are interested, 100 shipped with the sale to Canada). I haven't seen a decent deal that Canadians can utilize on the er6i since my MylarOne x3is have broken down either.

What about the Shure i2c-m's headset for $15 :P Add in a couple of sets of Comply foamies....done.

Yeah, they are both of those, just like it shows in the picture in the link. Buy them now. C'mon, too lazy to click a link?

I have a pair of v-moda bass passise sound-isolating headphones, and they sound terrific. Paid $50 for them, and they are my favorites for iPod usage. Bass is deep, and highs are crisp. Although build quality isn't the best, I've had mine for a few years, and they're still going strong, even after a drops, pulls, and accidents.

Please note that this is just my general experience with the particular model mentioned. I would expect that other v-moda models have similar characteristics. Price is definitely right in this case.

Thanks OP, but as mentioned, my current v-modas are still working great.

Those prices are far from decent seeing how there's so many contenders in that price range. By decent, I mean comparable to what you can get in the States. Right now, the er6is are 70 bucks on Amazon.com.

I bought the v-moda vibe at costco in the states for $70 or $80 about a year ago and LOVE them.
The reviews are pretty good (below is the link to C-net) and remember those are reviews based on $100 price point. For $35, this is one hell of a good deal. I jog with mine every day and have had no problems with the jack.
