V-Moda's vibe features very adequate isolation. Earphone Solutions had them to me in a couple days and yesterday I had just enough time to wear them for about 2 hours after work.
Observations:
I look forward to hearing what other listeners think. Please post!

Observations:
- At first I was pushing the silicone fittings too far into the ear canal. Experimenting with placement yeilded dramatic changes in bass frequency.
- the cables seem very well made and easily wrap around ("over" from back) in front of the ear. They are long enough without having excessive cable getting in the way.
- I found that listening to solo instruments e.g. piano and guitar more pleasant as the sounds were more distinct (better imaging). All the music I was able to play seemed to point out the studio "compensation" for newer, louder music. i.e. that which was crafted for the ipod audiance.
I look forward to hearing what other listeners think. Please post!
