Colour Name:Red|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Length: 6:27 Mins
First of all I want to state that these are the coolest looking headphones I've seen around for awhile, they look sleek and the zip is awesome.

Wearing these are comfortable, the zip doesn't irritate or scratch my skin when worn which is something I was pondering when I first saw them.

As for the sound quality, for most genres such as pop, rock, country etc.. they are very decent, however they really lack in bass; at the current time of writing this review, the packaging states "Extreme Bass", though the product description on both Amazon and VIBE's official website do not state it specialises in bass, so why is it on the packaging? Misleading if you ask me.

That's not the only negative thing about these headphones, when your wearing them on top of clothing to which they can move freely, the zip tag bounces around, to which every time it hits the cable, it vibrates sound all the way up to your ears regardless if your listening to music or not. Whilst this problem doesn't occur when the headphones cable are under for example a jacket, as the tab is secure and not able to move, a lot of people like to have their headphones cable out in view, so for them, this is going to be a problem.

Overall it's a decent product that looks great, but the negatives may bother some people to an extent that would ruin their music experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars VIBE Slick Zip Headphones - Red 22 Nov 2012
By S Riaz HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Colour Name:Red|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
These are practical, comfortable headphones with a good sound and a couple of extra features which are worth noting. The first is the extra silicon ear buds, which should ensure a comfortable fit. The second, and most useful, is the 'zip' feature. No more tangled cables as they zip up neatly in your pocket and then are easily unzipped to wherever you feel most comfortable once you wear them. Although these are red, they come in a good choice of colours - including blue, pink, green, etc, so presumably you can find a colour which suits. The only minus point I could find is that they do not come with a case, which would be nice. However, they are practical, well made and the zip feature is certainly a good answer to the problem of tangled wires and works really well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Innovative design and excellent sound quality 23 Nov 2012
By John Woodcock VINE™ VOICE
Colour Name:Red|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
These headphones arrived just in time for a real field test on a 9 hour transatlatic flight and they passed with flying colours!
The sound quality is quite bassy- which I like and to my ears the range was good. A bonus, particularly on a full plane, was the sound excluding factor, due to their being in ear. Also there was no uncomfortable pressure on my ears, which is usually quite annoying. The zip design orginally struck me as being a fun novelty but I soon realised that not only does the zip look good but it ensures that the cord never gets tangled; I had them in and out of my pocket with never a knot or tangle.
I really can't find anything negative about these headphones. Highly recommended.
