New V-Moda Vibe and Vibe Duo Jacks Mean Fewer Dead Headphones (Hopefully)
If you check out the ratings for V-Moda's Vibe or Vibe Duo headsets at Amazon or Apple, they're kinda crappy, bogged down a tons of complaints that they die fast. After an "unacceptable" rate of returns, V-Moda is acknowledging that the jack is behind the genocide and quietly launching a redesigned, reinforced one that'll hit shelves next week. Unfortunately there's no way to know if you're buying the newer, longer lasting model with a quick glance at the box. More »

Cut-the-Crap iPhone Headset Battlemodo
Whether you love or hate your iPhone, you'll get tired of holding that big sticky piece of glass next to your face eventually. Want have a talk while you work or exercise? Need hands-free calling behind the wheel? Do you just have lazy, withered arms? Chances are you need a headset. Though the famed white earbuds are good enough for some, why settle for them just because they just happen to come free, and with an embedded mic? Other companies want a piece of that iPhone action, and have headsets that fit and sound a lot better. "Oh, but fair and wise Gizmodo, which headsets hath you divined for my unworthy purchase?" you might ask. Look no further. Well, no further than after the jump. (And by the way, this review is actually useful for any phone with a 3.5mm mic-and-stereo jack.) More » -

Ultimate Cut-The-Crap In-Ear Headphone Battlemodo
Why do music lovers put up with cheap stock earbuds? You've spent hundreds of dollars on an MP3 player then effectively nullify your investment with headphones that suck the soul out of the music that you love. Choosing a higher-end set of earphones is almost impossible, since there are way too many, and they are deliberately marketed to blur the distinctions from best to worst. I tried out $2,000 worth of in-ear earphones—16 pairs made it to my final evaluation—and since I like you, I will share the results of my hours of ear penetration. More » -

V-Moda Vibe Duo iPhone Headset Gets a Call Button
V-Moda's Vibe Duos have been out since July, but even though they had an iPhone-friendly 3.5mm jack and an inline microphone, buyers complained about the lack of a "clicker," a button to take calls without touching the iPhone. Well, whine and ye shall receive: the new V-Moda Vibe Duo has it, and at no extra cost—they are still $99.99. [Press Release]

V-MODA Vibe Duo Headphones/Headset Come iPhone Ready
Since the iPhone's headphones jack is leaving us all with precious few options, it's not surprising to see headphones made specifically with the iPhone in mind. The V-MODA's Vibe Duo headphones deliver the same quality sound V-MODA earbuds are known for, and act as a headset to boot. That means you don't need to whip out the iPhone to answer calls—just trigger it on the headset. While not as colorful as previous designs, these sleek, high-end earbuds will fit any standard jack, as well as the iPhone's mysteriously recessed jack. More »

V-Moda Vibes Video Non-Review by Nick Douglas
Professionally, I despise Nick Douglas, former Editor of Valleywag, for preferring Gizmodo's competitor, Enga..Enga..Engadget over his Home Team's Gadget Blog. Personally, I enjoy his pleasant demeanor, cutting wit, and ability to talk around a given subject like V-Moda headphones for minutes on end. It's better than it sounds. Look Shiny can be more entertaining than watching that Justin.tv dude (except when Justin is getting some). Worth watching just to see a red headed white guy rap. More »

V-Moda Vibe Fashion Earbuds Hands-On (Verdict: Audibly Sexy)
With the iPod's white earbuds being as much a fashion accessory as the iPod itself—with people even buying them to wear with other players—earbuds must now look good in addition to sounding good. These V-MODA Vibes? Well, they're not only pleasing to the eyes and ears, they feel like butter in the ear canal. Butter made of soft, molded silicon.

Vibe Earphones Look Hot, Sound Hotter
These are the Vibe earbuds made by V-MODA. I couldn't care less what they do, as long as they are coated in gunmetal black or chrome. According to the ladies at Popgadget, the Vibe earbuds provide rich bass, warm mids and unprecedented clarity while looking sexy as hell. They also use BLISS (bass level isolating soft silicon) to reduce outside noise. You too can be sexy for $101, which isn't too bad compared to some of the other high-end earbuds out there. More »
