you guys should seriously check out the V-moda headphones.. they are very nice and the bass response is great...

here's my review...

I love the fact that they used a cloth type cover on the wire... I have found that this keeps them from getting tangled as easily....

My roommate has them and they do sound great. They do not have the "clicker" button, which is a deal breaker for me.

Time to find my soldering iron! :-D

I just did this and it works great. The only hang up i had was getting the apple ones open. I all but destroyed them in the process.

read that, they look great, for me not button = no buy though

These were easily modified. They sound 10 times better than the stock headset, bass is great as well. OH, and they stay in your ear!!! Just remove the gray covers to get to the connections. Be careful with the small round cover as the only have 2 small posts that secure them to the earbuds and break easily.

I was all set to break open my Sony MDR-EX90s and do this mod over the weekend. When I opened the iBuds, the wiring wasn't quite as straight forward as I'd hoped. I'm ordering the iPhone version of Shure's MPA instead. I've already killed the iPhone buds, but the Sony's are still alive. Now I don't have to experiment with $100 buds...

nice mod....I'll try this with some nice white sony in earphones that should look good with the stock wires. The stock buds hurt my ears if used for more than a couple minutes.

Shoot, I wish I would have seen this before I bought the V-Moda headphones.

But i was thinking about getting a bluetooth head peace soon, but i am not sure

I got a pair of bose head phones but im scared of breaking the plastic or something like that, especially since these are designed using triport technology. I would recommend doing it =\. but i still want the mic... =(

oh wow i wanna try this

Does anyone know if Ultimate Ears super.fi 5EBs can be disassembled like this? I'm looking closely at mine and they look like they use some kind of glue to seal up the casing...

Of course, the smartest thing to do might be, in UEs' case, for someone to start selling a replacement cable since they can just be plugged into the earphones themselves - check out the "Replacement Cables" on http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimat.../universal.php

Any independent iphone-accessories-would-be-designers interested? I'd like a free cable as "finders fee" ...

Ok I tried doing a cheap version of this cuz I don't have a soldering gun. I spliced open a part of the headphone cord of both the "destination" (read: good) headphones (UE super.fi 5EBs) and instead of unsoldering the iphone earbud wires, just snipped out the wires at the solder point. I tried twisting the wires together, green to green and copper to copper (it was the left earbud I tried first) - and no sound. Since these are Ultimate Ears which have the pluggable, replacable cables (thank god, if I can't figure this out), I plugged the right cable (still intact) into the left earbud and sound was there. But the spliced, left earbud's cable was useless. I even tried twisting the original UE left ear's cable back up to the snipped end, and still no sound.

Long story short: why can't you twist the two ends of the matching wire? Is it something to do with the tolerances for the current, resistance, etc in the wires being very narrow and when you just twist the wires together, the balance is off?

Thanks for any help!

does anyone know when the V-Moda headphones are coming out with a clicker, and has anyone tried the Shure adapter, does the mic sound better than the Apple mic?
