I wish they'd stop doing this. Everytime I'm finally happy with the newest generation of ear buds, some company comes out with earphones with superior technology that I just have to have.

I just reviewed V-MODA's Remix"M" series line awhile back and remember how thrilled I was with those. Now, V-MODA has just announced their new VIBE line, in Gunmetal Black and FlashBlack Chrome. Sure, they're handsome, but more importantly, they sound awesome.

The Vibe series provide a precise balance of rich bass, warm mids and unprecedented clarity. It's the next thing to being there. You can hear when the singer takes a breath, the squeak of a guitar string, the pressure of the drums. BLISS (Bass Level Isolating Soft Silicon) technology further reduces outside noise for a precise and rich bass response (frequency 12Hz to 22Hz). With three sizes of ultra-soft silicon fittings in both clear and black colors, the modaphones fit securely and comfortably.

At a suggested retail price of $101, you'd think they would be one of the higher priced earphones on the market, but not when you compare them to the E Shure series which tops out with the E5c at $549.00 MSRP. These are a steal, comparatively.

And your ears are worth it.
