V-MODA Vibe Duo In-Ear Noise-Isolating Metal Headphone with Universal One-Button Mic (Gunmetal Rouge)

If I were to have written a review when I first plugged these in, I would have given them 5 stars hands down. The sound is wonderful, the microphone and control works great, I was so happy with these. They really were great earphones.

Fast forward about a month, and like so many other reviews, they just stopped working. V-Moda seriously has an issue, it's obvious in the reviews where people have had this product for a month or more, and their earphones just stop working. I was so disappointed, mostly because I really, really, REALLY loved these earphones. But if they just stop working, what good are they worth?

I would say that my usage was light, maybe I'd use them once or twice a week for a few hours at a time. I really am disappointed.

I sure wish there were other options.

The sound is good, they fit comfortably. And they break like clockwork. I'm on my third set, and this is frankly getting old, especially at the price.

I'm on my second pair in about eight months.

As many other reviews here have stated, they do sound quite good and the interchangeable earpieces are great.

But the wiring at the connector consistently fails. First one channel goes, then the other.

The cloth covering does absolutely nothing to protect the internal wiring.

If you can't even put your iPhone in your pocket without damaging the earbuds, what's the point?

And yes, they will replace them for free, but the customer pays shipping.

I really wanted to like this product, but there's no excuse for spending $100 on an item that breaks in a few months of normal, careful use.
