 Great! Only if they worked!!! December 3, 2008
If you look at most of the reviews at apple.com they speak the truth. They are nice looking but don't last. My pair lasted about 4 months before dying and I keep reading that the replacement pairs are just as bad so it gives me little hope.
So keep you money. I paid over 100 for these so they are cheaper here but they still will die on you. I'm not sure how this company is still in business with these faulty headphones and multiple complaints. I'm just it's not like that for everyone but considering how many bad reviews there are for this item, I wouldn't take the chance.
---UPDATE---
I just sent them in for repair and they sent me the wrong pair back. My pair had the headset feature and the new pair doesn't!! Plus I heard the the jack is the issue and have already updated their pair with a new jack and this replacement pair has the old version. That's not right to me. I doubt this pair will last. Let's see what they say about their mistake.
 I replaced this product 4 times December 3, 2008

I have replaced this product 4 times in one year. It is only a matter of time before one speaker stops working. This product looks and works great when it works but the quality is the worst I have ever seen. It starts shorting at the connection point to your device within 2-3 months of purchase. I do not recommned this product to anyone.
The company must know about it but they have not made any attempts to fix their problem.
 Exellent sound/fit. Crapy audio jack. December 1, 2008
Agree with most previous reviewers.
I like them a lot.
But audio jack failed within 3 weeks of usage. It's still usable but very annoying.
 A nice set of earbuds! November 30, 2008
The V-Moda Vibe are great earphones. Deep bass, but not so much that it overpowers the higher register. I personally listen to rock and metal, and even in the most heavy metalcore or melodic metal sequences, the screaming guitars still come out flawless. This, and the chugging sounds still bring the heavy feel the artists were shooting for. On my more mainstream rock songs, the sound comes out nicely as well. Granted, a lot of this depends on your source; I've personally tested these earphones on both my Zune and my iPod and it sounds great either way.
As for durability, I'm not sure I can give you a cut-and-dry answer. HOWEVER, I've had my pair for about 10 months now with no problems whatsoever. I'm not very careful with them in terms of storage and they still are in great condition. One important thing to note, though, is that I always pull them out of my ears using the metal housing, and not the cord. (Probably a good tip for any earphone user, but it seems like especially for this set, based on some other bad reviews.)
If you do end up buying these earphones, keep in mind that they need to be broken in. The sound you initially hear is not the actual final sound. As an audiophile, i definitely recommend these earphones. They aren't the absolute best, but for the price, they perform quite nicely. I can't tell you how they are if you listen to rap or hip-hop; not my type of music. However, everything from In Flames to Van Halen to The Killers sounds good. Give them a shot.
Lemon and poor sound November 28, 2008

I had the V-Moda bass and I left them on a plane. I purchased these as a replacement. I was a HUGE fan of the V-Moda Bass. They were much better than my friends expensive Shure buds.
I used the Shure's at the gym for a week while I replaced mine. They are too heavy to work out in and have little bass. Anyway, I received my Vibe's and out of the box the left ear bud was DOA. The right bud had little sound quality as well. I sent them back and replaced with the Bass model and love them!! Might have gotten a lemon all around but I would not recommend these.
