Not everyone has welcoming outer ears to the standard iPhone earbuds. While we haven't found the perfect replacement, the V-Moda VIBE Duos deliver the best combination of functionality, sound and in-the-ear fit.
The VIBE Duos feature the inline mic and button to switch between music and incoming phone calls similar to the Apple iPhone stereo headset. This is a must for smoothly handling unexpected calls while listening to your tunes. It also features noise-isolating (BLISS) technology to reduce ambient noise and enable deep bass, which is great—but the highs maybe slightly lacking for the true audiophiles. Six pairs (S,M,L) of included silicone ear fittings in clear and black make for a customized secure fit.
Available in three colors, the V-Moda VIBE Duos have the all-important iPhone compatible plug and are available from V-Moda's online store for $101. But forget spending cash, we've got two pairs in the rare "gunmetal rouge" colorway (pictured) to give away.
To get your hands on a pair, follow the contact link at the bottom of the page, select "V-Moda Vibe Duo Giveaway" from the pull-down menu and send us your name and address. We'll pick two lucky winners at random. Contest ends this Friday, 11 January 2008, 11:59pm EST.

When we first learned about Schmap digital travel guides a couple years back, we loved the concept but were frustrated by the lack of options for Macs. With their new beta version for iPhones and iPod Touches, they've one-upped themselves by providing their interactive maps in a format designed to take advantage of the device's unique capabilities. Using the gyro feature and either a...
