Greatest buds I have used

These are without a doubt a great value and sharp looking too. Bass is fabulous, I don't have to use bass boost on my Ipod Touch. I use them at a very reduced volume and find I miss nothing in the way of sound reproduction.

Warning: there are multiple versions of the Vibe headphone!

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

Sounds great, but too many other drawbacks

The sound of these headphones is great. I have to grant them that. The sound is incredibly clear and I've noticed some things in my music that I wasn't able to before as a result.

However, I would not recommend gunmetal black for one specific reason. The cord is made of a rubber material and it catches, yanks, and holds on to _everything_. As a result, the cord on the headphones wore out a lot quicker than they would have if it were a simple plastic that wasn't as tacky (in texture).

Further, their customer service is glacially slow and they've worn my patience out. 16 business days (2008-08-09 to 2007-08-30) to open an envelope, verify a defective item, grab a replacement and pop it in the mail? I hope they don't sprain anything. On top of that, they stated "tracking is not currently provided by USPS". Oh really? It sure was when I sent it to them... insurance too.

I was highly tempted to buy the vibe duo to control my iphone, but not now.

If you aren't thwarted by my review, I'd suggest getting one of the colored versions, as their cords seem to be wrapped with a woven metal. As long as it doesn't fray, it won't catch and yank on nearly as much stuff as the rubber cord.
