V-MODA Vibe Duo

Who's It For

Audiophiles

The Vibe Duo headphones don’t have good audio quality, which is really what audiophilia is all about.

Portable User

Portable users will love the Vibe Duo headphones, since they’re small, in-ear headphones. They also come with a handy case for keeping everything together.

Airplane Traveler

There are headphones out there with far better isolation than the Vibe Duo, including most other in-ear headphones and on/around-ear headphones with active noise cancellation.

Home / Office Use

These headphones have neither the audio quality nor the cable connectivity to be a feasible choice for a home theater user.

Conclusion

The Vibe Duo headphones are a solid pair of mid-range headphones. They’re priced well, based on what they offer, and they have some interesting aesthetics as well. Like many in-ear headphones, the Vibe Duo is aimed at the portable media player market. The generic iPod-toting consumer won’t care all that much about audio quality, since their music is overly compressed to begin with. Audiophiles typically won’t bother with in-ear headphones anyway, since their compact form makes creating a soundscape a near impossible feat.

In any case, if you fit into this audience, the Vibe Duo will provide everything you’re looking for. They’re portable, have that mediocre audio quality that’ll get you by (and a ton of bass — do you like bass?), and they’re also quite handsome as well. If you’re looking for to replace your iPhone headset with something less ubiquitous than the iPhone headset, consider the Vibe Duo.
