I second that request.

If I've got it figured right, there are three phases of Vibes.

phase 1) everybody seemed to like the sound
phase 2) some (many?) complaints about sound
phase 1&2) complaints about cords & plugs

So now phase 3) is available. Witness the new strain relief on the plug (yes - pictures would be appreciated). Can anybody comment yet on sound differences?

Thanks, Steve

Just got mine a couple of days ago. Im just wondering any of you guys got the newer ones with strain relief? Care to post some pics.

And btw, how do i know if mine is 1st or 2nd gen?

Thanks guys! I love it here.

So I got a pair back in late February when these were all the rage -- a bit heavy on the bass but they've opened up nicely over time. I liked them enough to buy a pair for my girlfriend last week; however, when she received them, she said that the right earbud was DOA. She contacted V-moda support but no response yet. I took my own pair out of the pouch Saturday morning and the right earbud has now also gone dead. Contacted V-moda but nothing yet either.

Anybody else have this problem? I'm 2 for 2... And about how long does it take to hear from support?

Hi all,

I'm new here and ben watching this thread for a long time....
Eventually I couldn't resist and ordered a pair of Gunmetal vibes.

I notice most people here are using iPods and iAUDIOS for portable use...
But nobody with a Walkman.... Well, I use a Walkman since I like it's sound best.. But reading this got me wondering how they will sound in combination with my Walkman (NW-A805). Should I get out and buy an iPod for my Vibes or try to stick with my Walkman?

And I have to say this, But damn I really admire that the CEO of the company this thread is about actually joins the thread. This is absolutely stunning and really like this! Good work Val!! V-moda really listens to their costumers! I really love it!

greetz!

Sorry to hear that Spike. Are you sure its the cans and not the output of the player?

Anyway, V-moda customer service is very good, maybe give them a call or something...

well

aftr a long wait my vibes came in today....
I was a bit scetical 'cause I read some reviewes saying that there was NO isolation, NO bass.... sharp sound.

But when I put them in, right out of the box.... I was truly amazed by the sound of these things... just awsome... I couldn't have wished for a better result.

Val; I really LOVE these things. Very very very very niice!!!

And as is mentionedit in my previous post: My NW-A805 and Vibes are a dreamteam!!

greetz

It's good to see the strain relief in place and the new black pouch. I kind of killed my iM716's right driver for the time being, so while I'm working on it, I've been using these again.

@Spike: I haven't heard of just one side failing on these before, but V-Moda's customer service is usually very good, they'll get back to you.

I finally saw these on sale at a mall a couple of days ago, along with a few colors of the Bass Freq and one color of the Remix M. It was kind of weird to see these costing as much as they do next to the normal cheap Sonys and Skull Candies, but the Red Roxx looked a lot better than I thought they would. Plus the new releases from V-Moda are supposed to be tomorrow, hopefully they'll be too expensive for me, because I don't need to spend any more money right now.

So I was walking home from school and noticed that parts of the song playing on my ipod would come in and out. I got home and found that my cable has ripped, revealing the wires. I love these things to death, but shelling out the cash for another pair would make my wallet cry. Is there any way to fix it? I've heard people mentioning soldering it onto another plug. Any guides on how?

 

[dfkt]

I posted a link to a guide about two pages ago.

 

[qookhoo]

has any one experience the iem where it distorts while playing certain music (crackling noice).

cheers...

 

[FFWD]

And we have new Vibes!

coming soon : midnight blues color

Why does the 3.5mm plug on the second pic only have three poles and looks totally different? Bad Photoshop...
