V-MODA Vibe II
I was looking for a good earphones with microphone for my iPhone. I use earphones almost everyday, so I might as well get a good one. After reading a lot of reviews and forums on the web, I ordered this earphones around last week. Some reviews I read on the net say it's good. I actually spent one day on weekend, tried to search for it in stores in Singapore, but no luck. Then I decided to order directly from their web store, since they provide (quite) cheap international shipping. After I placed my order, they sent the tracking id, so I can track the package from UPS site.
Fast forward about one week, the package arrived, in a small box.
The packaging box
Whoa, so big for earphones? I opened it to find out that the box filled with some foam thingy, and found the earphones box inside.

Packaging-wise, this thing looks awesome from outside, but when you try to open it, you'll find a lot of difficulties in your way. I realized that I don't have a pair of scissors nearby, so I cut things with nail clipper. Haha.. So, here are what I got inside the box:
The earphone plug, with "Rock Safely" warning
A lot of silicone caps, carrying case. VIP card, a pair of earhooks
How about sound quality? Well, I don't know. It's my first in-ear earphone. I usually use the standard iPod or iPhone earphones, and it's quite different. I can only say, for music, the sound is good compared to standard iPhone earphones. It blocks noise from outside. I have to pause the music to slightly hear the announcement on train. I cannot hear the engine sound of buses, which is quite loud. But for making calls, I prefer the old standard earphones that comes with the iPhone. It feels different when making calls, because with this earphone, you can feel your voice and it feels weird.
Anyway, that's my first experience with international purchase and delivery. Very good and pretty convenient.
