I bought these after seeing the 2009 CES design and innovation.... yadda, yadda
award, thinking that these would have to be the king of aftermarket, mid-price,
hi-fidelity, iPhone-compatible headphones.

Boy was I wrong. The first pair
never worked right, then eventually failed. The replacement pair lasted about
two weeks of just normal, daily use before failing. So, what failed? On the
first pair, the answer/hang-up or play/pause button never worked. That was
frustrating, but I decided to suck it up. within about two weeks though, the
connection between the cord and the 1/8" jack must have dislodged, as one
channel just stopped coming through. If I manipulated it just so, I could get it
to play, but would have to hold it in some awkward position to get it to
work.

So, I called ZAGG and told them what happened. They offered to replace
them, but when I mailed the Z-Buds in, I got an email telling me that they were
out o...

That is a bummer man sorry you had such a horrible time with them. If you are
not satisfied with the Zbuds I would suggest the V-moda Vibe ii's we should have
the review up next week. The answer, hangup, song skip button has a kevlar
casing and just seems a bit more quality than the zbuds. The sounds quality is
much better as well.

Save your money, and the headache. I thought the Z.Buds from ZAGG looked like
an innovative idea, so I bought a pair. After waiting several weeks for them to
arrive (they were on backorder) I received them and immediately got hooked on
the 'round the neck design. Kudos on a well-executed idea.
But after a few
weeks of normal usage, I began to have problems with the 3.5mm connection. The
nylon wrapper around the cord, which had been one of the primary selling points
for me, dislodged from the 3.5mm connector and began sliding up and down the
rubber cord. Soon after, the rubber nub that holds the cord in place at the
3.5mm connector also became dislodged. I was very disappointed.
I contacted
customer service and was even more disappointed. They told me I could pay $20
under their "Lifetime Trade-In Guarantee" program and they'd fix or
replace them. Six weeks into ownership, and just a few days past the return

They have had a few issues since launch some have had no problems where as other
had nothing but. The fact that they are a relatively new company to the earbuds
market is a factor to think about as well. I for one absolutely love the vibe
2's from vmoda I use them on a daily basis you might want to consider a set of
those instead.
