Enter to Win: Moshi Audio Vortex Pro Headphones!

[Tom Andry]

Moshi Audio is giving away a pair of Vortex Pro Headphones to two (2) lucky entrants! This contest represents a $150 value!

From our review:
The Moshi Audio Vortex Pro earbuds have a ton of bass, a forgiving top end, and don't care what bitrate you used when encoding your music. If you are wondering what you get when you spend $150 on a pair of earbuds, you get the sort of sound quality that makes you wonder why everything else you own sounds so bad. With a standout design and a "look at me" aesthetic, people will definitely notice your earbuds.

Here's what you could be taking home:
The Vortex Pro headset, featuring Moshi’s latest XR9 extended bandwidth drivers, is exceptionally good at delivering very balanced and clean sound in the mid and high ranges. Vortex Pro's earbuds are a unique triangular shape with rigid steel alloy housing to minimize cavity induced coloration.

The ear tips are made of hybrid-injection silicone which creates a perfect seal in the ear canal, isolating noise and blocking out background sounds. Vortex Pro also comes with innovative braided cable cords, a 3-button control (volume up and down) and a MEMS microphone.

Vortex Pro comes with three different sizes of hybrid-injection silicone ear tips as well as a set of memory-foam ear tips for optimal listening experience and comfort. The package also includes a custom silicone carrying case for easy storage and retrieval.

Things I like most...

The things I like most are the looks. They look durable and good quality. Also, I like that they're not some mainstream product you can find in a regular store. That alone makes me believe they'll sound great!

First thought is I love the look, the braided cable and brushed metal look great. Memory foam tips are wonderful and that they have a microphone and remote, which is very handy.

[melvindrbk]

Nice look

they look pretty nice and fashion. I would like to try them out to see if they feel comfortable and sounds good too

 

[prplflh71]

Most appealing? To me it's that they're not Bose!!

 

[kleinwl]

Robust

What about Vortex Pro appeals to you the most?

The cable and the steel ear bud. I've had $100 Bose earplugs fall apart on me after a year. I figure if I'm going to pay $150 for a pair of earplugs that probably have margins exceeding 80%, I want something that will last a while.

 

[Jacer200]

I really like the look of these.

 

[MARKAFSS]

I like the price if I win!

 

[Tpgun101]

The design... The metal and braided cables are cool!

 

[brouham]

Looking good!!

What I like most...are you kidding? It is obvious that the earphones will look soooo good on me!

 

[connieflyer]

Never having heard them the thing that immediatly stands out is the way the design has been brought out with the triangular shape. Very aesthetically pleasing.
