Sound in 1 earbud cutout after 4 months. Read other reviews. January 9, 2009
James J. Hannah (USA)
I would not recommend this product. Some reviews talked about the sound cutting out from one ear bud but I figured these were isolated incidences. I figured wrong. After only about 4 months of relatively light use with the volume never really going above 50%, sound in one of the ear buds has decreased significantly. The sound does not completely cut out so I do not believe it is an intermittent connection but rather some other defect. Subsequent searches through reviews have discovered several similar complaints of defective ear buds. One can only wonder how many others never took the time to write a similar review. Regardless of any possible warranty to pay this much money for these and have them consistently fail is frustrating, a waste of time and money, and indicative of a horrible product.

My advice is to look to some other brand entirely. Avoid V-Moda. Trust me, and others, you will save yourself a lot of grief and money.

Great sound if you sit still--large stethoscope effect January 9, 2009
Brandy S. Brow
I received my V-Moda Vibe Red Roxx earbuds the other day and opened them tonight. The red looked awesome, but as soon as I put them in my ears, even without yet plugging them into my mp3 player, I knew I was going to have problems.

I struggled to get a good fit with the angle of my ear canals. They ended up sticking out. Worse, as soon as they were in, sound in my head amplified like my head was under water. Any wire movement produced a stethoscope effect in my ears. And I still hadn't plugged them in.

Once plugged in and music on, the sound quality was quite good. I bought this pair for the bass because I have oversensitivity to high pitch noises and struggle to hear bass sounds, and I could actually hear bass for a change. And then I moved around.

The wires moving in my hair alone interrupted the music. When the wires bumped my chest, a loud thump interjected the music including the highs that usually impede my ears above all other sounds. There is no way I'd be able to use these when jogging as I intended. The thumping and wire movement alongside music would drive me batty. And this is an original pair of new V-Moda earbuds, not an imitation.

Back in the box these earbuds have gone. I'm only glad I already happened to be going to the mall an hour away tomorrow, because I need a refund from Best Buy. Back to the drawing board. Any earbuds that have a stethoscope effect won't get more than a two rating from me. But from reviews I've read, this may be a saving grace in the long run.

Love the product. It is very comfortable in the ear. It doesn't come out on it's own like most products that I have tried. I bought this to replace other ear plugs. I believe I have found the ones.

nice but defective January 7, 2009
Marc J. Wertheimer (swarthmore, pa)
comfortable and cool looking. liked the fabric covered wiring which is supple and lightweight. decent sound, heavy on bass as most reviews state. returned because of defective earpiece which crackled. good purchase for the price but I opted to go to Bose after the return; more balanced and true sound with greater clarity.
