So do these basically replace the V-Moda Vibe Duo? If so then the price has dropped by $50 since I bought my first set which apparently are not compatible with the 3GS from what I have heard.

I hope these are more reliable than the last few vmoda headphones. They break after a couple of months of normal use. Sure they get great reviews, but only because the reviewers use them for a short time and dont see that they constantly fail. I am on the 3rd pair after the last 2 have failed after about 4 months of use. Reading around, many others have had this same problem no matter how carefully you use them (I use them at a desk, not for workouts, or other high stress situations)
It would be very wise to wait a while to see how the ‘beta testers’ fare

When I saw ‘headset’ in the title I assumed it was one of the single ear, call-only devices. I hope the iPhone version has a 3.5mm plug instead of the 2.5 to 3.5 adapter that Rocketfish models use.

I just picked them up from best buy and I like them better than the rocketfish ones. Yes it has the 2.5 adapter so it connects without the extra bulk to the iPhone. I hope they last as 45 dollars is 45 dollars any way you look at it.
