While Apple, Rim, Palm, Motorola, LG, Sony on and on fight it out for music playing mobile phone dominance, each new entry brings with it more need to aptly accessories.
Wether it is sexy leather bound flip lid carrying cases to secure your device from destruction, or cradles to allow you the opportunity to sit back and marvel at your beautiful new all-in-one mobile.
But with all of these all-in-one devices, one of the most important accessory is a hands free headphone. Bluetooth headsets have pretty much done away with the need for classic in-ear style phones. Bluetooth is far more comfortable and convenient then the typical wired. But, how do you enjoy all of those MP3's you've downloaded? V-Moda last year introduced their sexy headphones for the iPhone. I'm not one for sticking earbuds in my ear, but I have to say, this is a very good headphone set.
V-Moda headsets are not just for the iPhone though. With the help of my headphone adapter, I used the V-Moda vibe duo headset with my Treo 755p, Centro and Blackberry 8830, and on each one, the sound was fantastic.
One of the very first things I noticed about the headset is how comfortable they are in the ear. These are quite honestly the most comfortable in-ears i've ever used.
One of the reigning attributes V-Moda taughts is its bass response, and with good reason. I used them on my iPod knowing that out of the box the iPods EQ is okay, so hearing the highs and lows through them was as expected, very good. But I was surprise how rich the sound was coming from my mobile devices. I'm a bass player and drummer, so I want to hear and feel the bass and kick drum and i want everything else to envelope clearly and smoothly.
The vibe duo has a microphone that allows you to use the phone portion of your mobile while primarily using them to listen to your MP3's. This portion worked well, but I can imagine that without the extra adapter and on the iPhone that feature works far better than what I experienced.
