Geez...talk about fake...

What is the microphone for? Did they do anything with the sound? The cloth cables are a nice addition, something I have asked about for a long time.

It should probably be a music phone headset... but the connectors are fake on most pics - only on the first pic it has a 4-pole plug.

I wonder if there's an adapter for the HTC Touch (ExtUSB)...

Any discount for existing head-fi owners of Vibes?

 

[Jon118]

If there was I would so trade in my Vibes. I basically only use them with my phone now anyway, so this would be a no-brainer.

someone told me that V-moda would trade you a set of v2 vibes if your v1's had plug strain. True or not?

Maybe I should search in the older posts... but then again, there are 60 of them!

New vibes are targeting the very soon to be released iPhone, no doubt.

Ho guys i need help!

My beloved 1st generation Gunmetal Vibes are in trouble!

Just yesterday when i put it on, the left ear channel has no sound!
And i tried to push the cable inwards towards the plug and the sound came back, only to disappear the moment i lift my fingers.

This is either a cable problem or driver obstruction. Try using an aerosol duster and blow at the ports.

If you see some wear on the cable, you need your warranty+receipt. They unfortunately don't do repairs even for a fee.

No i meant when i pushed the cable in at the OTHER end...the end with the golden plug that goes into my player...

It looks like reterminating the cable with a new plug is your primary option, unless you can somehow tape up the current plug/cable to apply just the right pressure to keep the sound coming through...which I expect would be neither pretty nor lasting.

The third option, I suppose, is to scout out the For Sale forum for 1st gen vibes...I have a new-in-box set of Flashback Chromes for sale there that might be 1st gen (Val's discussion of the evolving production process seemed to indicate that Flashback Chromes, at least up to the point of getting a strain relief, were spared the changes that other vibes underwent), but of course I can't be sure without opening them up.

VERY annoying...
