Unbeatable sound quality, poor durability Review by Audiofreak

Quality

I love these earbuds to death and they are the best for their price range and even beat out the IEM's priced at 150-200$ but I only gave it 3 Stars because the durability of it is extremely poor. I have had many IEM's and I take really good care of all them, when my vPulses arn't in use I stash them carefully in the supplied pouch. However, after a month or two of using them the left and right ear buds went out within a few days of the other. This has happened twice and I am now on my third replacement. I cannot say for the current updated of the vPulse as I have the old versions but although their IS a one year warranty, I can't say that it's worth it since the current state of durabilty requires a replacement every 3-4 months. Hopefully the new version addressed these durability issues. (Posted on 12/16/12)

1 review for service - 4 stars for sound Review by Venkat

Quality

I received ear buds and the pin was bad. only one of the ear buds was working.
12 Nov - Received ear buds.
13 Nov - Contacted customer care. They wanted me to send a form filled up from their website. I sent to them. They gave me a RMA No.
14 Nov - Requested to provide Return shipping label as it iis DEFECTIVE. They sent me the label.
15 Nov - Shipped the package.
01 Dec - I am without the ear buds and my replacement ear buds are not yet shipped out yet.
The sound of the ear buds is good but do not buy from velodyne. Buy from amazon.com or other merchant where the rules are good. Amazon would ship the replacement ear buds and you can mail the defective ear buds one week after the replacement ear buds are received. (Posted on 12/1/12)

Amazing earphones, for a great price Review by Doommidget

Quality

I'm English & I decided to import a pair of vPulse earphones from the US to Australia where I am currently travelling after reading a review indicating that sound quality is better than Beats, and that the bass is very good, but that there was not a distributor over here.

All I have to say is that they are an absolutely fantastic set of earphones, and the bass is incredible, I can't recommend them enough! I will certainly sing their praises to anybody looking at buying a set of decent plugs! Should I ever require new earphones in future I would definitely buy again, even if it means importing =) (Posted on 11/15/12)

Hmmmm, INTERESTING!!!! Review by Latham

Quality

OKAY, I am just receiving and trying out my 2nd pair of vPulse In-Ear Headphones. My 1st pair had to be returned for replacement, as the left ear bud stopped working after about a month, maybe 5 weeks. I am not really getting these reviews that state these in-ear headphones have incredible bass. My first pair, as does this 2nd pair, both have rather disappointing bass response. Perhaps, I am not placing the ear buds deep enough into my ear. But, I have got to say; I am rather disappointed with the sound quality of this product. I purchased it, based on the hype & reviews at cnet.com, amazon.com and here at velodyne.com. I had expected to be blown away, based on those reviews. Unfortunately, I am not! I have given 3 stars here, as I do believe the construction and styling of the vPulse is exceptional. Based on style alone, I would give them a 5 star rating. But, in my humble opinion, sound quality is seriously lacking, hence the 3 star rating.

Can't listen to anything else. Review by Canuckguy

Quality

After much thought about the cost, I took the plunge and can't listen to anything else. The bass compliments the overall sound. It had been missing for a long time. Took awhile to find the right buds but other than that, no real negatives. They are worth the price. (Posted on 9/30/12)

As a user of VELODYNE subwoofers for over a decade in my home theater, I had to try the vPULSE. Outcome: Phenomenal Sound. As to the Quality and Durability, well after a sick listening session I forgot them in my Baggies pocket. " Yes" they went through the " WASH CYCLE" PLUS THE DRY CYCLE " !! AMAZING !! they still work. Every feature including the sound has not suffer one bit . I can literally say my vPULSE sound its cleaner.

Good sound, bad durability Review by Ice

Quality

Let me start off with that if you give these earphones a less than 5* rating, it does not get posted among the reviews.

The sound and bass are good, but one of my earpieces quit working after a month, so I cannot recommend these to anyone. No earphone of this level should quit working after a month, my cheaper ones are way more durable.

Company Edit: We always want honest reviews and will post all reviews that are constructive and offer value to the user regardless of rating. If you wish not to post 5 stars, please email us at websupport@velodyne.com and let us know your suggested rating (as you have given it 5 stars above?). We apologize for the issues you had with the headphones. We want all customers to be satisfied with their purchases and if it is a malfunction with the earpiece then please contact customer support for an exchange. (Posted on 9/27/12)

Good sound, but not that durable Review by Kerem

Quality

I wanted this earphones so bad I shipped them manually from the US to Europe, they aren't avaliable here. The sound is great, great bass if you can fit it in your ears well. However after a month, the left earpiecr stopped working. It's not like I've put the durability the test, I used them even with more care then with regular earphones. While the sound is great I'm quite disappointed in the durability of this otherwise great earphones.
