Although the hype has seemed to die off a little bit, I think I'm still going to pick up a pair and give 'em a try.

that's what i want to know, too. this is the first time i've bought expensive earphones and i think i've taken good care of them. although the sound quality is great, it doesn't really matter if they break down after a few months of use. i haven't used my player for days since i couldn't stand using the earphones that came with it, but i'm reluctant to buy a new pair of quality earphones which might break after a short time.

To me it always seemed that he was saying he enjoyed the Vibes more than the UM2s. Certainly the Vibes won't be better for critical listening or be near as accurate as the UM2s, but as the post says, they are very fun to listen to. I wouldn't use these if I cared about analyzing my music, but I just want to enjoy it, not tear it apart, and for that, I haven't found anything I enjoy more than these.

uh. what i was saying was that the vibes are NOT fun to listen to. but if you must insist, it is your opinion. it is my opinion that the vibes are not worth the money. i think that they are good and a little better than 630's but they are not worth the ridiculous price tag. i mean come on. waste your money on something that is actually WORTH the money

No Fanboyism here souperman. I have owned a lot of the iem's out right now for under $300.00. Too many to count. First gen Vibes just sound very good. Note I said first gen Vibes. The newer revision is a pale comparison. I ordered the Gunmetals when they first appeared. Got in on the first order. They sound marvelous. The newer ones with the laser cut membrane though, well, it is a different phone. Far too much mid-bass muddling the mids and highs.
I don't know if you have heard a 1st gen Vibe, which is what my review is based on. 2nd gen simply do not sound as balanced. Shame to really. I knew there were slight changes in manufacturing, but did not expect them to sound like totally different phones.
Anyway, 2nd gen Vibe is not by any means better than a Um2, first gen however is a different story. I simply don't understand why V-moda changed the sound signature as extensively as they did...

I use a pair of KOSS 75 clips with the porapro drivers that are tons better and more comfortable than the remix or vibes. The Koss 75 are 20.00 or less and sound better. IMO. This spending money on the new fad thing is getting old and we know that the KOSS 75 is a great value and sounds great.
