i've seen such impressive reviews about this new product from V-Moda.

ALSO AVAILABLE INSTORE.....


check out the applestore link! it's priced as the Shure E2c.. and some say the E2c lacks bass.. I'm guessing the V-moda may have an advantage over style and sound?

what do you guys think of these new in ear earbuds..

Shure e2c is not that impressive anyway, e4c and up though...
If you want style I think the e4c and the new e500 (EXPENSIVE) are real good.

Never heard of Vmoda... but shures are considered to be one of the best IEMs so I doubt these are better.

If you want to find out for real go to www.head-fi.org

These don't even go that deep.
If you want isolation and deep penetration, the Etymotic tri-flanges go 1-2 cm into your ear canal instead of sitting outside like these do.

I don't like any bud phones. I've yet to find one that worked well for me. I guess most peoples' ear canals are perfectly straight or something - mine aren't and the result is buds don't give me good bass sound unless they're twisted around the wrong way - if I can stand the discomfort of them pushing against my earholes. (Did I just say earhole??)

LOL Yes I know exactly how you feel. I can never wear earbuds/IEMs as they always cause discomfort/pain in my ear. Thus I prefer full-sized headphones as they're way more comfortable and even double as an ear-muff in winter. :)

I think my ear canal is way too narrow (for crying out loud, I still get ear infections like a kid). :(

can't wait to try these out, ordered them in chrome, since apparently the gunmetal's cables are more prone to tangling (or microphonics?)

pity i didn't have a coupon or something ~_~ at $148.15 after tax, these cost a pretty penny for a non-"head-fi"-er like me :cry:

As bad fortunes would have it, I'm in the market for new ones since my second pair of SONY IEM's have started to crap out.

The biggest complaint about Sony's are the wires that get brittle and detach from its wires. These look a lot more sturdy and industrial (theme and construction wise). Might have to look at these a little more before I pull the trigger.

Count me in. My biggest concern is investing in headphones that are priced higher than the players themselves only to have them literally fall apart on you. A sure fire way is to get some classical style headphones but they just can't compete with the IEMs for bass and overal performance.

Uh, Shure has a 2 year warranty. Email them (or their Canadian distributor), get a RMA, send them in, they send you back brand new spanking ones.

They even paid shipping both ways, courier. Even came to my house to pick up!

If anything, Shure cables are the most durable due to their thickness - and their warranty is second to none.

I tried the Vibe at a head-fi meet recently. With my brief listening, the bass on it seems bloated still. Nothing special to rave about. On the other hand PK1s were awsome, but looked rather ugly :S

That's not true, full sized headphones at the same price compared to IEMs generally sound better, fuller, and have a better sound stage.

Generally speaking, the real advantage over full sized headphones is the level of detail you can hear.

Reason why IEMs are popular is the fact that they give out a hi-fi sound quality and isolation that is good on the go.

I just picked up a pair of JVC Marshmallow in-ear buds. They were $24.99 at Future Shop. I also took home a pair of Sennheiser c-300 buds @ almost $100 to compare. I have Sennheiser HD-580s for my computer, so I loooove the brand and their richness of sound.

I returned the c-300s the next day. I couldn't find an appropriate fit in my ear, and the wire noise (common to in-ear buds) drove me nuts.

The Marshmallows are amazing. Deep bass with no "muddy" sound. Excellent separation. The soft padding expands to fill your earhole, effectively blocking out all outside noise. I wear these on the subway, and can't even hear the robot-lady calling out the stops.

Spend money on the Vibes if you want (I was looking at them too, and almost bought 'em), but try out the Marshmallows first. You can always return them to Future Shop if you don't like 'em!

From past experience, i find that IEMs compete against headphones that cost half the price of headphones. So for example, i would compare $400 IEMs to $200 headphones. This is just my general rule of thumb that somebody once mentioned, and i've experienced that as well, people can disagree with that statement if they want.

That being said, different brands and types of headphones will have different sound signatures than other brands and types of IEMs. So if one IEM/headphone doesn't have that sound signature that you're looking for, obviously you won't like them, whereas your next door neighbour would swear by them. So i wouldn't call a product "sucks"...it's just different. An example is Bose...they don't suck, they're just different...and through their hefty r&d and marketing, they are able to bring their products which are so different from regular speakers out to the public and succeed...genius if you ask me. Yes, i've read the thread about what Bose makes their products out of and their marketing schemes...shocking, but that's how it is.


sorry for the slight rant....

Anyone know where I can pickup a pair of these in Toronto? Would the apple store at the Eaton Centre carry these? Any other stores that anyone knows of that would actually have these? I'd rather not order online.

Any cheaper prices as well?

Thanks,

v-moda's website lists a few stores that carry their products in Toronto... I believe one of them is CD Rom Store? which is downtown toronto. I believe that the apple store in eaton center received some vibes a few weeks ago or so, but I have no idea as to their availability. From head-fi, some other torontonian bought one from cd rom store, and price matched it to the apple store's 129.99$ (which the cd rom store now sells them for, in their web listed price).

I don't think any store sells them for cheaper at the moment, unless you order directly from v-moda's online store, which sells them for $101USD + $5 S/H, but since you don't want to buy online that isn't really an option...

if anyone knows of a cheaper location, that would be greatly appreciated as well... hopefully I can cancel my apple order in time =D since they seem to take forever to ship =_=

I dont know, but I might have to get mine replaced too. I just noticed lately it would distort on some songs, when played at full blast.:confused: is that normal? For just some songs, not many though. im pretty sure i didnt get this when I first got them. And no i normally dont play them at full blast lol.

It sucks because i bought them off ebay and no receipt. Worse comes to worst ill just go buy another pair locally and swap them and refund it. No hassle with shipping or having to call them. In fact I might just go do this tommorow but I dont even know 100% if my earphones are defective. How can I tell?

I would hate to have to replace them, cause then i would have to break them in again....what is it, 100hrs?

you don't need a receipt for replacement. At least I didn't, when I called in.

Theres a serial number on the plug, usually 4 digits. Just call in and tell them the serial, and they will give you a return auth number as long as its under 2 years old.

yah. all applestore carry them in those two different colors. I've been at the eaton centre applestore today. They still have some in stock. Of course, if you do ask the sales employeee which one is better, they will automatically point to those shures for some apparent reason without comparing with the v-moda's.

IEMs don't need to be broken in. Since you've already had the E2C's, when they come back to you in the mail, it should sound the same.

edit: as for the Shure's being over-rated, that's partially true, but i really love the sound of the E4's and E5's...From the Shure line-up, i think the E4's are the most under-rated...(i'm not talking about head-fi here).

You are incorrect about E2 and not breaking in. E2 uses a dynamic driver as opposed to balance armature drivers, therefore burn in do somewhat occur.

Shure, in my opinion, are not overrated. They do produce sound quality that competes well with other companies (UE, Westone, Ety).

I actually don't mind the bass on them. I'm a "highs" kind of guy though. I did the Kramer mod (look it up on Headfi forums) to mine and it did improve the treble, but at the cost of isolation.

the colour choice does seem good if you're gonna be looking at it...but the ipod is gonna be in your pocket and the vibes in your ear so you wont see the colours anyways and other people wont care

i just recieved a set of vibes today in the mail. paid 90us free shipping from ebay.

my first impression was that they look pretty nice.

any opinion i fabricate is based from using my grado labs sr80.


the vibes seem abit bass heavy, they seal out outside sounds pretty well, but no entirely. not as crystal clear as id like, but overall they are very nice for 100 dollars.

I have the same model, but the white one. I think my Sony ex71s (??) had a better sound, and the bass is pretty strong in this one, but I like bass so I'm not complaining. My sony earbuds broke waaaay too soon, so i went to Vmoda instead

Yo dude, don't sell fakes. $59 for fakes? I wouldn't pay $0.59 for those.

They look like preschooler junk.

Me too... Sony Headphones for $35..going 3 years +
until you guys have actually heard the sound coming out of a high end headphone, the OEM ones you get will all sound the same to you.

there is a sound difference between $20 Sony's and these expensive headphones, it's just a matter if you're willing to spend it.

i was always satisfied with my Etymotic ER4P's, but i've sold them cause i was in need of money for school.
after being a headphone junkie, going back to OEM headphones just aren't the same, not just the sound but the fitment, on my Zen using the Creative phones suck to me now, but when u got no other option what are you to do

Man, I went back to the ipod earbuds after using Shure E2C's for 6 months or so, and I don't know how I even managed with the ipod earbuds. All I hear are cars, busses, trucks. Everything leaks in and my iPod won't provide enough volume to drown them out..not to mention the highs sound so harsh coming out of the earbuds.

After using the Etymotics er6i and the Shures e3, the original stock buds from my ipod sounds horrible. On the note of the noise isolation and lower volume, please... if you use the stock headphones, check how loud it actually is when your outside. I'm tired of hearing other people's music on the street car

I've been using the Sennheiser cx300's for quite some time now and they're great. I had to switch to the Ipod buds for a short period of time and it reminded be of how crappy they are. I can hear everything except the music.

yup, i hear what you're saying, after going from IEM's, you enjoy the fact that all the noise around you is drowned out, you don't need to hear people chattering on the bus or subway, or cars honking, etc.
I'm using my w810 right now as my mp3 player, the headphones aren't bad, they got the flange tips similar to the Shure ones, so it's not bad, at least sound is drowned out around me

you're not very bright are you? these are a completely different model, those are stock pics from the company so how can they be fake? companies don't only make a single item you know. these are a lower end earphone that v-moda makes
