The Quest for Perfect iPhone Earbuds: V-Moda Vibe Duo. PRICE: $101. PROS: Best sound of all: big bass, clear highs, love it. I like the style of it, especially the feel of the cords. And they’re way comfy in the ear. CONS: The sharp metal bits can scratch the iPhone if you put it all in the same pocket. The clicker button can be difficult to find without looking. By far worst reliability of any headphones I’ve tried. I’ve gone through four pairs now. Each time, one of the earbuds stops working after a few months. Returning them for replacement is easy enough, but still a hassle. VERDICT: My favorite earbuds of the bunch. They must be - I’m on my fifth pair. (Aside to V-Moda: You must know about the failure rate by now. Fix the damn things.)
