V-Mode Vibe ii Sports Ear Hooks

v-moda-vibe-ii-noise-cancelling-earbuds-v-moda-vibe-iiI was lucky enough today to receive some ear buds from v-mode. v-mode are a bit of a strange company in that they make headphones and also clothing under the same umbrella. The earphones that I received were the new vibe ii sports ear hooks.

First impressions from the packaging were good, but there simply just seemed to be a lot of packaging for a simply pair of ear buds.The little piece of novelty was that the box itself has two compartments that were had magnets build in to they stayed together.

Once inside after getting through the packaging (20 min) the speakers themselves seemed to be quite heavy, a lot heavier than a normal pair of ear buds. The Vibe ii is made especially for smartphones and the iPhone because they have included a built in microphone. The design of the microphone and overall look of the product is great, but the ear buds themselves are quite flat towards the end and if you listen to music for long periods on end then you might get a bit of a sore ear. vibe2_box

Obviously the key to a good set of ear buds is the quality of sound and the Vibe ii seems to give off a much better quality to the average ear bud on the market today. Unfortunately for me the quality of depth within the sounds in slightly lacking and the volume of the sounds also seems to be low.

Overall the Vibe ii is a great set of ear buds that I’m sure will last you a long time. Vibe ii is ahead of the average ear buds simply because of the sounds quality but for the price (USD $119.99) it seems to be just not good enough.

Dragons Den: Lucky To Not Invest In A Flop!

The BBC’s Dragons Den show has long been a place for entrepreneurs to come and pitch their ideas to budding investors. I have always hated shows like this, the investors are just so greedy with percentages and most of the time i think it is all just a set up. However on tonight’s Dragons Den a few people i know from the music industry down here in Cornwall are pitching their idea for funding of a music festival. I know for a fact that music festivals in Cornwall, UK, just don’t work. Very few make money and the majority lose big money.

I have heard from a few friends that the idea for the music festival gets funding from one of the Dragons on the show, but the they turn it down for a better offer elsewhere.

The moral to the story is that a good pitch on a show like this really doesn’t mean the business is going to work. The people that ran the music festival and got the funding ended up losing approx £80,000. So the Dragons must thank their lucky starts they didnt get involved!
