What is the difference between these and the black ear adapters? Do they perform the same function?

I have used them on every set, except the 5.0. I can't stand the pressure of the foam.

The silicone tips are easier to install and last longer. There was no difference in the performance of the headset.

The plug is the same as an ear plug set. I have a Sandisk MP3 player and gave it a try...worked great. I would imagine as long as you have a standard ear plug receptacle you should be fine. I ordered mine from Blue Rigger through Amazon and I could not be happier.

I'm not sure (no pun intended) what qualifies as "better", I believe they are pretty much the same (thinking of foam design and density). The real advantage is that the Shure tips are intended for Shure products, and I have had great luck with them. Fit, both in your ear and on the device is the key to great sound, at truth be told, these are the cheap part, but in short I think they are more the same than different. I hope that helps.

It depends, if you are just using them for headphones, you do not need an adaptor. If you are going to use them for gaming and need a microphone, V-moda sells a separate microphone accessory that allows you to plug in both headphone and microphone jack so you can use them as a gaming headset. The microphone is actually high quality, but it does cut out if you are too loud.

Sorry - I do not understand the question. These are behind-the-ear units with sound tubes. They are unlike the over-the-ear electronic units. If you could please clarify: Are you talking about the behind-the-ear electronic unit? or are you talking about the tubes and plugs. If talking about the plugs, please describe the type you are looking to use.

I believe that any earphones will work. As long as they are the same adapters and have a microphone on them.

I use them with my iphone which has the same type of headphone jack as my laptop. I do not need an adapter, they work very well.

As far as I know the main differences are found in the headband, cups and ear pads. It's often said that they all use the same drivers are the same, but I can't be sure.

If you want to use a 3.5mm earbud set, try this link for a micro USB adapter. Generic Universal Micro USB Interface To 3.5Mm Plug Earphone Adapter Black

Yes I have, they work just fine.. I can't tell the difference between these and the body ear pieces

No you do not need an adapter. These headphones actually are 3.5mm. They come with an adapter for the larger size.

please post a review! I'm debating on whether to get this, not sure if it's the same as a regular old bluetooth adapter (which is much cheaper) and can't seem to find any information about it.

It doesn't improve sound quality but if you have headphones with a gold pin this is the adapter you should buy. A silver one will ruin your sound quality.

I believe it is because of the button numbers I got black ones and they have 3 buttons. Different models means better sounding quality ear buds.

Yea they will work with an adapter but it will cost you 10 - 15 bucks. I find the adapter along with the thick cabling to be very cumbersome with an iPod. These headphones were designed with home use in mind. They'll work with an iPod but you may not enjoy the experience.

I don't recall two adapters. I use the earphones with my Bose Wave. Since the red and white leads don't work on the Bose I have an adapter that I plug the red and white leads into and the output from that is the same an earbud jack. You can probably pick one up at Radio Shack for a nominal amount.

YES. Black ones definitely have 13.5mm drivers and the best low end I've had in any headphones without too much high end so If you're a basshead get the black ones. I bought the silver ones a couple times by accident and the bass is definitely underwhelming especially when compared to the black ones. I'd say it has 9mm drivers.
