V-Moda has a new, noise-isolating dual-use headphone/headset designed to work with the Apple iPhone. The Vibe Duo comes with control/playback functionality and has a discreent microphone as well as a call button that lets you make/receive calls and control music playback functinos of the iPhone. Which basically translates to you not having to use the cool multi-touch interface for doing the same.

Featuring durable black-fabric cables and an all-metal design, the in-ear earphones (but of course!) weigh in at just 13 grams. With three sizes of silicon fittings for a comfortable fit, there’s also a small clip for added security so that the headphone does not fall off. The Vibe Duo is also compatible with Blackberry Curve.

Priced at US $99.99, the Vibe Duo is available in Nero and Chrome from the online V-moda shop.
