The V-moda vibes are a relatively cheap portable headphone that works well with phones and portable media players, they come in different colours and have this strange wire that comes of at a funny angle from the jack.
They look good and have a fabric coated cord (idk what its called) rather than a plastic one (idk what thats called) to reduce tangle-ing and come with an anti tangle cord wrap up thingy for when youre not using it. It also comes with a small fabric case and 3 pairs of spare earbuds ranging from small to large.
The build quality: metal earpiece, fabric cord, 24k gold plated jack
Highs: very hard to hear high pitched sounds, if they are even there!
Mids: still hard to make out vocals, and snares, guitar riffs and other mid range sounds
Lows: overpowering bass, its hard to hear anything over the bass
Music:
Classical- Bad
Rock- Worse
Hip Hop- Good
Drum and bass- OK
Dubstep- Good (if you can call it good)
Metal- OK
House/club/trance- Good
Everything else- find out for yourself
Pros:
Lots of bass
Cons:
No highs
No mids
Bass overpowers whats left over from the non-existent highs and mids
No clarity
Headphones lose their sound quality after a few months
My experience:
Having had 2 pairs now (just to see if it was a bad batch) they both sucked, one of the earphones broke on both pairs. They both lost sound quality in the space of about 4 months and became crackly in about 6.
DISSAPOINTMENT
Conclusion:
Buy them if you are a bass head (£30-40)
Dont if you enjoy music
