I have used these on flights and they block out the ambient noise pretty well, although not as well in in-ear monitors or noise-cancelling headphones

The difference being these are a semi closed back design that will eliminate 95% of surrounding ambient noise

You get a great seal to block out enough of the ambient noise but also let in enough air to resonate the sound your listening too

They are NOT noise cancelling, but the seal and insulation is so good, they actually block out more ambient noise than my noise cancelling Sennheisers.

The memory foam ear pads are not only snug and comfy but do a great job blocking out ambient noise.- tough, tough, tough

These are not meant to cancel all ambient noise, so stop complaining that they don't

Sound is great, sitting in a Starbucks working on book, listening to Classical music and cannot hear the ambient noises - can still hear loud conversations and the occasional bang behind the counter if volume is not too high - the tone is good, not too much bass just a smooth sound.

To that point the MODAs have a great seal and do a fantastic job eliminating ambient noise, not as good as the beats, but I only could notice that difference when the music was not playing so really no benefit there unless you are just trying to sleep

If you intend to use these headphones in an area with ambient noise, like at the office or while traveling, I recommend choosing a noise-cancelling brand rather than these V-Moda's

If you are overwhelmed by the choices of headphones available in the $300 price range, are looking for something to use at home as well as on the go and care about quality sound while also appreciating deep, powerful, tight bass, these are simply the best choice available.

These headphones add the right amount of tight, clear base that makes the music realistic and warm rather than flat and stark as in the Bose.

Now the headphones still work as if they were brand new.

They still work as perfectly as they did the day that I got them

(i.e. voices sounded nothing like a real life person in front of you, no way you could be confused as to whether a person was singing in front of you), and it was just unpleasant to my ears, period.3

They're made for quality as well as

If you don't spring for the $30 XL memory cushions, enjoy a highly uncomfortable (and sticky feeling) listening experience

yes they're great to use them on the plane in the car at home but not as a

I'm pretty sure that you can find headphones that sound as good as or better than these, the problem is that you would pay much more than these cost

I would also recommend purchasing directly from m-voda as there are cheaper generic Chinese cushions that apparently fit these

Also, for me, they didn't quite fit over the ear all the way, I feel like they should be sold as an on-ear headphone

If you listen to a lot of midrange-centric music (classical, folk, some types of pop, smooth jazz, etc.), the bass is really too distracting as it is very forward relative to the midrange and thus midrange-centric music just doesn't sound right

I would not however recommend these in white as they can get dirty rather quickly.

I have had several high end headphones and recently purchased the HD dj8 and as great as it was, it lacked that mesmerizing sound effect

Works well with the cell phone on occasion as well as on the PS4 through the DS4 3.5mm port which as usall requires no extra amplification

5/5Obviously works amazingly well with the Steam library of games as well as when the PS3 is connected to the laptop's various assortment of input

I've also had some time to compare the M-100 to my other pair of V-MODA headphones, the V-80, as well as to other headphones I've managed to play with at various retailers in New York City such as the Apple Store and B&H Photo

I listen to a lot of music on the L system in Chicago traveling to and from work, as well as at the gym and at night before I go to sleep

If that wasn’t enough they also sell the shields in different textures, as well as in Steel and Precious Metal

Overall: These headphones have gone through the ringer of a college lifestyle for almost six months now and still look, sound and feel as great as the day I got them

Also included is an amazingly well thought out case that is as beautiful as it is utilitarian

I changed the earcup pads to the XL memory foam size and it was better, but not as good as for example the Sony or KEF in comfort level.

I just spent the last half hour reading a bunch of the one star reviews, and they all have an excellent response from the 'six star support' team as well as from the supporting community

I paid full price for a new item and received a used item twice, and while this headset may work as if it was brand new, I don't know the circumstances that led the previous owners to return

The V-MODA M-100 sounds amazing, which is why it pains me so much to have to send it back.

Like the V-MODA Crossfade LP2 headphones, the new M-100's are designed with extremely high-quality standards in mind

So naturally curiosity got the better of me, as I thought if the M-80 is amazing, what must the M-100 be like?!

7.5I own some and already had contact with some other "audiophile-grade" headphones, but I think the fairest comparison and obvious nemesis to the Crossfade M-100 must be the Beats Studio

The V-Moda M-100's sound incredible and are unbelievably durable

The one friend out of 7 that did this test picked the cheapest headset I have as his favorite, which I can say is an awesome headset for the money, but just doesn't have the clarity in the mid and high end as the V-MODA M-100 has

I am very happy, and am sure that i will enjoy using the Crossfade M-100 for many years.

On the other hand, the m-100 handles vocals very well (albeit a bit colored) yet its weakness is its handling of guitar riffs and string instruments

Ultimately, for me, it actually complements the M-80 and what it was lacking (especially since the M-80's mids can sometimes irritate and be grainy in some tracks)

The M-80's are so good that my "favorites" playlist grew by 50+ songs that would have never made the cut.

Well I purchased the V-MODA Crossfade M-100 and with in 3 or 4 minutes of using

I sure enjoy listing to my favorite artist on the new crossfade M-100 V-MODA headphones and look forward to many years of solid performance.

comparisons).Would I recommend the M-100

I love my Crossfade M-100 headphones!!

Don't get me wrong, these weren't just about bass, they have a nice mid and high range as well, but not as good as the M-100s (which I will get to later).

Magnificent workmanship on the V-Moda Crossfade M-100

Unfortunately, the M-100 definitely lack when it comes to the mids

The M-100 meets and exceeds all of these criteria and if I could, I would give their value a 10/5 because they really are the perfect headphones for me for mobile listening

The Vmoda M-100, the most noticeable difference was the comfort even with stock pads, my ears were touching the inner ear pads a tiny bit, but not so much that it would add discomfort.

Ultimately, for me, it actually complements the M-80 and what it was lacking (especially since the M-80's mids can sometimes irritate and be grainy in some tracks)

I own lp2 as well as the m-100

My next purchase is the amplifier to push these to the next level, I highly recommend the M-100's!

The M-100s use "noise isolation

I could NOT be happier with the CrossFade M-100 by V-MODA

The M-100s offer you unrivaled sound performance; delivering exceptional bass, while retaining crisp and clear mids and highs

He calls the M- 100 noise isolation just because no battery is required

For the most part, the M-100 pairs well with inexpensive, portable headphone amplifiers, so you don't need to go out of your way and purchase a super, high-fidelity headphone amplifier that costs over $300.From what I have, a FiiO E7 USB DAC and a JDS Labs (or the UK equivalent, Epiphany Acoustics

As for the rest of the fit, the M-100 does really well here

Most of my music library is some type of electronic music: EDM, thecno, Dubstep, trance, etc; for these music genres the M-100 excel in my opinion but thats not to say it can't do others

One of their employees grabbed a pair off the shelf, and after getting the headphones out of the box, I was left alone with the music on my phone and the matte black M-100s.

The M-100 fit close or hug your head, making them very stylish

The V-80 provides a more forward mid-range, but the M-100 provides more clarity and detail retrieval than its smaller sibling despite its more laid-back nature

The V-PORT design is interesting because it does make the M-100 leak music more so than other headphones, but it's not nearly to the same extent as an open-back headphone

I gotta say, I love my brand new M-100!They look and sound amazing!First of all, I must say that I'm a young

Buy the M-100, and ignore the LP.The M-100 gives you so much more clarity and presence that the LP sounds mushy in comparison.

For the record, I have tried the M-100's with other headphone amplifiers (cheap to really expensive), and the O2 just really pairs nicely with the M-100

These headphones, in my opinion, they work best with hip hop or R&B, but that’s just my opinion

no giant "b" on the side is nice.- Very understated industrial design that doesn't seem to age at

I Listen to all sorts of music ranging from rock, metal to hip hop, r&b, jazz and country music and these headphones work fine with all of them

In comparison the V-MODAs are more comfortable, cleaner sounding, more bass without losing mids, more convenient fold up design, better looking ; no stupid b on the side

For me, I find this particular signature less ideal for strong vocal tracks but good for more modern R&B, Hip Hop, and Electronic genre

You may not be as obsessed as I, but I guarantee you will be impressed.

On the positive I really like the way they combined steel and plastic in the headphones that gives these and industrial look and and a high quality feel

You may not be as obsessed as I, but I guarantee you will be impressed.

n’t recommend using these for exercising

Well, I sure hope the headphones are "dry", unless they fell in the bathtub ;o)
