currently i have teh V-moda Vibe headphones, the regular ones for my ipod. I really like them but i've had to do a patch job on the cable b/c it came loose at teh connector. Im looking at getting new headphones for the new iphone, but i dont know which ones to get. I obviously want ones which have the microphone attached so you can pick up a call while your listening to music. whats everyones opinion?
Btw, i like isolator in-ear buds to block out the noise.
I have these and they are AMAZING... of course they are quite pricey but they work as a hands-free and noise isolating headphones: Etymotic Research HF2 Hands-Free Earphones
the v-moda look really cool, but I have always used the ones that came with my iPod and i imagine that the iPhone headphones are the same so I will use them and spend the money on alternate accessories instead - case, apps, BT headset, etc..

I've had the same problem with the Vibe. I bought mine about a year ago, and I had to send them in to be replaced about 5 months ago for the same reason you stated. Then today the replacement set started acting up too. Great earbuds (best I've ever had), but they don't seem durable for regular use.
I looked at the ones reviewed on the site a while back and they seem pretty good. Review: Maximo iP-HS1 iMetal Headset | The iPhone Blog. I usually end up carrying the ones that came with my iPod or a behind the head type ones if I'm doing something where the buds might fall out, simply because I don't usually need to be tuned out and be deaf to anything outside me, but when I wanna relax I use the in ear isolating kind, or on a plane or other noisy place. By far prefer the latter, cause at least for me they're more comfortable for long term use.
Anyway, TiPB reviewed the ones above pretty well and I haven't really seen anything bad about them from what I've seen. I like the bag and extension too.
ok, so i've looked around, and there are lots of earphones with mics available. unfortunately, most sites don't have the specs listed, and i don't wanna buy ones that are the same or worse than the stock ones.
does anyone know of good in-ear design phones (with a mic, this is for the iphone) for $30 or less?
Does anyone know when the new 2way official apple buds are coming out that were announced with the new iPods? I've asked at apple stores in 3 different states and no one seems to know.
