Combining "fashion-conscious style and audio-enthusiast sound," the V-MODA Vibe Duo is a noise-isolating dual-use headphone that's also a headset with the integrated hands-free microphone.
It's lightweight, with a solid alloy composition and 32-inch black fabric cable.
The subtle design also includes touches like a small music/call button on the mic to switch between listening to music and talking on the phone, the plug mounted with the cord angled at 45 degrees for strain relief, and texturing of the earpieces for a better grip. The package includes three sizes of earpieces in soft silicone.
The resulting sound is strong but not distorted. It features V-MODA V-MASQUE dynamic driver technology for a "precise yet natural soundstage," plus BLISS (Bass Level Isolating Soft Silicon) technology to reduce ambient noise and enhance the bass response.
The V-MODA Vibe Duo is available for around $100 in chrome or "gunmetal/rouge," -- definitely stylish, although the look can give the appearance of chrome bullets in your ears...
