If, like us, you quickly grew sick of the sub-par apple earbuds included with the iPhone, you have a new friend. V-Moda makes a few solid pairs of headphones but these iPhone ready earbuds with mic & answer/end button are amongst the best available. They cost nearly four times as much as the apple counterpart, but after going through a new pair of Apple earbuds every other month, these just made more sense cents.

The medal earbud & mic piece are much stronger and long lasting, the sound quality is vastly improved, although the in-ear noise canceling style bud can drive some people crazy.

The  answer/end button functions as pause/play (obviously) and has the double click feature to skip songs in iPod mode. Very dope.

Unlike the pictured above, the current V-Moda earphones have an angled 1/8th inch jack to avoid bending damage to the wire, also features a nylon wrapped wire that is much stronger than normal plastic.
