Incredible, sexy sound - Introducing the Vibe II for iPhone and iPod touch

Hey, that’s a really nice iPhone you’ve got there. It’s a 3G, no? Nice case, too. But wait just a second here, what are those white sticks hanging out of your ears? Oh, I see, those are the lovely white earphones that came with your iPhone. So you’re willing to walk around with the best mobile gadget of the decade but don’t mind sporting those freakin’ ugly earbuds with mediocre acoustics? Sure, we know Apple improved the sound quality since the first-gen iPhone earbuds, but c’mon now. It’s time to upgrade and get an audio accessory that compliments your iPhone and cranks out the sound with serious style.

Last year, about this same time, V-Moda rolled out the Vibe earbuds, which blew our socks off for having terrific sound quality wrapped up in a gorgeous package. They were pricey, but their craftsmanship and acoustics made the expense worth it. Now V-Moda has announced the Vibe II, the next generation of iPhone earbuds, and just in time for the holidays. The Vibe II represents the next level of excellence in audio accessories for the iPhone and iPod touch.

The Vibe II has a discreet hands-free microphone with built-in controls for phone calls and music. And like its predecessor, the Vibe II’s cords are wrapped in woven fabric, giving them sturdiness while maintaining comfort . We appreciate this detail since most earbud cords feel incredibly flimsy.

The Vibe II also comes with some nice accessories as well. In the box you’ll find 8 pairs of silicone fittings to fit any ear size while isolating noise outside of the ear canal. You’ll also find a set of detachable sport hooks that will keep the earbuds where they belong while you’re out living your active lifestyle jogging, biking, whatever. V-Moda also throws in a leather, Italian crafted carrying case that serves these earbuds justice.

The Vibe II ships in 2-3 weeks, but you can pre-order them now from the V-Moda web site. The web site is filled with great marketing descriptions like “pinnacle sound quality” and “world renowned organic sound”. The web site says these babies are available in two colors, Nero and ChromeRouge. Huh? We don’t remember those colors in our crayon box. Here’s the non-marketing translation: comes in black or red.

Yo, V-Moda, give your marketing editors some time off so we can we borrow their writing chops here at Touhctip. We could really use the extra help with our purple prose and, uh, vivacious vernacular. Hmmm, see what what we mean? That’s all we got.

Don’t let that marketing mumbo jumbo, nor the whopping $128 price, deter you from purchasing this iPhone fetish accessory. If you can afford these, go order them now. You’ll love the stylish ergonomic design and, dare we say, pinnacle sound that these little plugs put out. The Vibe II iPhone earplugs from V-Moda are B-E-A-yootiful to behold.
