V-Moda has new version of luxury earphones
By Melissa Hernandez
Trade Show Expo Managing Editor
I had the opportunity to test V-moda's new VIBE modaphones. The earphones are a noise-isolating modaphone that allows you to listen to your music with comfortable silicone fittings.
I have reviewed a few earphones, mostly for cell phones, so I considered myself somewhat of a skeptic. I expect my music earphones to fit snug, bother me a bit if I am using them for long periods of time and not sound as good as I thought they would after reading the box or visiting a Web site.
 When I received the V-moda I did appreciate a few things. The silicone earpieces were much more appealing than the thinner silicon earpieces I had received with other earphones. There was also a “modawrap” used to wrap up the wiring. I admit it took me a while to figure out how to use it. Going to the Web site helped significantly. And there were pleasant surprises like the case, and VIP card. I am extremely impressed when anyone refers to me as a VIP. Even though common sense says there are millions receiving their VIP card as well, they aren’t in the room with me, so I am the only VIP to be found.
I liked the red color. My earphones stood out from others and there was never a chance of getting mine mixed up with someone else’s. The colors V-Moda offers coordinate with iPod nano colors, but I was using mine with an iPod video. These color choices make the modaphone a fashion accessory or statement.
I decided to test the earphones on a TV show I had downloaded. Those are the true tests because there are so many different sounds in each show. I was amazed when I heard the smack of the actress' hand across the actor's face. (I was watching an 80s classic that called for a defense of character.)
I was impressed by the sound quality. I had to increase the volume to my music significantly before others around me heard the music. It seemed like someone who appreciated music had designed these earphones. Val Kolton has a passion for music. A few minutes on the V-moda Web site and you will understand as well.
 So, how does this relate to the trade show industry? Well, it doesn’t so much. I would assume that many exhibitors and show attendees spend a significant amount of time on their laptops during their travel to shows, and a lot of time with their iPods on a plane or in the airport terminal. Sometimes you need to drown out the cries of a young child on a plane or the most annoying conversation with the worst grammar ever spoken. V-moda could then be considered a life saver.
As a product introduced and/or made available at a show, we have it in the products section. With this information you will be exposed to the craftsmanship and quality of this product. Give it a try. It is worth the price.
VIBE's premium metal composition and superior technology enable a sculpted response curve fashioned for the discerning audio enthusiast, providing a precise balance of rich bass, warm mids and unprecedented clarity. Utilizing V-MASQUE dynamic driver technology, VIBE is able to achieve a precise yet natural soundstage in comparison to other high-end earphones. BLISS (Bass Level Isolating Soft Silicon) technology further reduces outside noise for a precise and rich bass response (frequency 12Hz to 22Hz).
Weighing just 12 grams, VIBE is the ultimate earphone for both outdoor activities and low-key relaxation. With three sizes of ultra-soft silicon fittings in both clear and black colors, the modaphones fit securely and comfortably, unlike deep in-ear canal earphones, and won’t jar loose during exercise.
VIBE modaphones are available in two high-fashion colors: Gunmetal Black and FlashBlack Chrome. The included Modawrap cable manager adjusts the length of the sport-optimized lightweight cables, and an elegant leather gold pouch is also provided for travel and storage. As a unique added bonus, customers receive VIP card access to exclusive “V-MODA modcasts,” and other gear along with the purchase of VIBE.
