For those who have an iPhone (read review) you know that your selection of compatible headphones is pitifully weak. I'm not talking about using any pair of 3.5mm headphones here, I mean if you want headphones that provide high quality audio for music, a working microphone for calls and a button for both call and music playback functionality you don't have a lot to choose from. If you walk into an Apple store your choices, aside from Apple's own headphones, will be between ungainly and messy extensions that allow you to use any headphone and the V-Moda Vibe Duo. The latter will certainly appeal to many, but you might want to think twice about it. Read on for our reasons.
UK iPhone users can now flaunt their pretty device with VIBE Duo, a noise-isolating dual-use headphone/headset by V-MODA. The headsets are an amalgamation of style and functionality as one comes across a chic form factor, an unobtrusive microphone and full control-playback functionality. The VIBE Duo headphone/headset is available now for €99
“We understand the need for an earphone that will maximize all the best features of the iPhone, and we’re excited to bring the VIBE Duo to European V-MODA fans and Apple iPhone users,” said Val Kolton, founder and CEO of V-MODA. “At V-MODA, we celebrate an active, music-inspired lifestyle – we live it and breathe it. The VIBE Duo is perfect for consumers who appreciate innovation, craftsmanship and style. It’s got all these qualities in one sophisticated, great-sounding, cost-efficient, premium accessory that complements the new iPhone.”
