    • The bass is really punchy and tight but the bass doesn't muddle the mids
    • as far i can only say that these ones beats hands down the Pioneers HDJ2000 MK2....very rich bass, the high SPL makes my head to vibrate with bass literally, clear mids and highs, will say that from my headphones collection (only ones i dont have yet are Beyerdinamic DT1350 which i have already ordered) that the only ones that can match that superb bass are the Senheisers HD7 but without such a clearer mids and highs
    • was anticipating the ability of headset to produce some exceptional bass
    • but I have always enjoyed a bit more bass in my playback system.
    • From the crisp highs to the rich deep bass, these headphones encompass the best of both worlds

    • I didn't think that the bass was that significant
    • bass is sufficient and soundstage is quite wide more than i expected
    • For example, while Beats by Dre advertises its products on celebrities to make them seem higher in quality, and offers a great lower end (which stronger bass than most headphones) they don't have good high frequencies and just aren't high quality despite their great marketing campaign
    • And not good bass, but muddy bass
    • Coming off a pair of headphone like the ATH MSR7 the highs and the mids will sound washed out, and the bass will sound over bloated, and less refined, but that's not a bad thing

    • I had a pair of Sennheiser 545 or so (around that number) and the bass was superior and clear
    • To give you an idea of how they compare to the Bose after the break-in period:The Bose tended to highlight vocal parts a bit more, and the bass was much weaker

    • Great soundstage, great bass and superior construction.

    • The bass, clarity and mid-range are all excellent.

    • The bass is strong but very tight, and doesn't overwhelm other instruments
    • The highs come in clear and the bass is impressive but not overbearing

    • The bass is fantastic, and they work great for all the genres of music I listen to: from classical to metal
    • The bass is strong, but not so much as not to appreciate instruments and the like
    • But NOTHING like the Beats headphones, which boost the bass so hard it sounds like a Harley Davidson driving through a swamp
    • As is common in the current headphone market, the bass was often too overwhelming, and sometimes, open back headphones are not an option (due to the need for noise cancellation, and other factors)
    • When I first received the headphones I thought they had decent bass, but still not what I had wanted.
    • I next went to something in the middle so played some FKA Twigs and was fantastic having the mix of sharp vocals, electronic and huge bass

    • In flat presentation,some people (so called audiophiles) who don't like bass in their headphones may want to use an EQ to turn down the bass and their problem is solved
    • 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

    • Audio quality is superb, punchy bass without sacrificing treble and mids
    • Great bass, with a very balanced sound when compared to the equally stellar mids and highs
    • Great bass without being too overpowered
    • Yes, some of those may have very different characteristics, but that I tried them in my quest for warm, natural-sounding headphones that would have adequate bass but yet would also be clear WITHOUT any harsh treble or being too bright.3

    • Warm vocals and a strong bass.
    • The headphones have crisp highs and mids, along with a warm resonant bass, that even highlights sub frequencies on well mixed records

    • The bass is very prominent but not at all overpowering like beats by dre headphones.
    • The bass isn't as loud as I expected (guess that's what happens after listening to Beats for a few months), but it has a great KICK!
    • The bass is amazing and these headphones can get very loud

    • When listening in a very loud car, the background noise drowned out the bass
    • but yet stylishfun sound (tight punchy bass, better soundstage but less bass than the
    • At higher volumes the mid-bass and upper-bass can intrude upon the lower-midrange,
    • If you're extremely hard on your headphones, maybe these are a good choice, but for anyone else (especially those wanting their first pair of very good headphones that have good bass, but sound good with everything), I 100% recommend that you buy Audio-Technica ATH-M50x's
    • They sound fine just no bass
    • Bass could knock a little more- Cords would only play in one ear unless shifted, but played fine with any other 3.5mm to 3.5mm
    • I'm not an Audiophile by any means but more like a bass-head, who enjoys his head being rattled by thumping bass, crystal clear mids, and sound highs

    • I have been looking for headphones that great bass for Drum & Bass, Dub Step, House music and Hip Hop
    • As mentioned above, the bass is incredible
    • Bass is just perfect

    • They're bassy enough with a nice high quality bass
    • The bass is insanely good, in particular
    • The bass is strong, but not so much as not to appreciate instruments and the like
    • Best way to compare the two headphones which are both really good is to decide if you like the deep bass of (2) 12s in your car with the drawn out bass (Beats) or the pop bass of a 10 bumping in your car (V-Moda).
    • I listen to an extraordinarily wide variety of music--mostly hip-hop and alternative rock--so I tried to find a pair of headphones that could deliver solid bass but still provided very accurate, unmuddied mids and highs.

    • Bass is perfect in this sense --
    • The dynamic ability of this headset to reproduce tooth vibrating bass that is clear and crisp while keeping the mid and high range not only clear, but noticeably separate and crisp is simply amazing

    • The bass is realistic and crisp and the sound is without distortion
    • Sound quality isn't bad, but I bought these thinking they would have amazing bass and they don't
    • This is refined BASS at its best - and lots of it

    • The bass is amazing, and they don't compromise on the mids and highs
    • Bass is the best of any

    • These headphones provide that power, and they do an amazing job of producing tight, powerful, deep bass alongside sparkling highs and a pleasingly colorful midrange
    • Having compared them to the Sennheiser Momentums and Bose QC 25, I definitely prefer the M100s, witch don't vary too much from the Momentums except that they pack a much nicer/more prominent bass for anyone who prefers that
    • In fact, because I felt there was clearly a lot more warmth and mid-frequencies in V-Moda, then the bass didn't seem exaggerated compared to the rest of the music (unlike Beats where you have what sounds like just a sub and
    • True, the V-Moda M-100 sound is something out of this world, in the sense that I can sit and listen for music for hours straight, just being amazed by the sound quality which I have never experienced before; I can hear new details in songs that I have listened to dozens of times before, hearing all the instruments and the vocals clear and crisp, with the smooth bass that doesn't ruin the mids nor the highs

    • For me personally the bass was too intense
    • But if you hate bass, maybe it will be too much bass for you, although the frequency response curves show it's close to neutral, only a slight bump in the mid-bass and mids.
    • Overall, if you enjoy some extra bass in your music without sacrificing clarity of the rest of the sound - this is exactly what the doctor ordered!!
    • Momentum: 4.5/5 As I mentioned, the bass in the Momentums was lacking for me
    • Try sennheiser 25s, or akg 181 dj headphones if you need clean, powerful sounding sound/bass
    • LP's sound like the bass is "loose" sometimes
    • Great bass, clear sound, surroundsound is okey and the vocals were amazing as well

    • The sound is amazingly clear for piano music like Michele Mclaughlin but has enough bass and power to blast some Deadmau5
    • The headphones deliver good bass but can still pick up real clear mids
    • Well gaming and movies will sound like you're playing on a full home theater because its not the bass that makes the M-100's special (pay attention this part is important) its the ginormous sound-staging and perfectly tuned highs that make this headphone great so sound effects and even sound positioning is second to none
    • Bass isn't booming you can definitely feel it but its not to the point where everything is drowned out, however if you prefer some more bass a cheap Fiio amp would be good

    • If you like solid bass that doesn't wash out everything else and want excellent sound quality across the
    • great headphone, decent bass and nice highs, the clamp force is
    • Although 2/3 of the time the sound is excellent with crystal-clear audios and well-put bass, the right earpiece often goes out at least once a usage for a period of 2-6 seconds - unsure whether this is due to the connective cord or the hardware itself
    • The sound clarity is fantastic, the definition makes all the other ones bite the dust, the bass is so accurate and powerful, the mids and highs are awesome too!
    • , I have that great bass sound without compromising any other sounds and I still have noise insolation
    • (I do use the XL pads which increase bass response and comfort, for the comfort the trade off on the boomy bass is well worth it!
    • The sound profile is a lot more refined than the LPs, mids and treble are a lot cleaner however these still pack amazing bass
    • The bass is strong, but feels very controlled at same time
    • And not good bass, but muddy bass
    • First, I bought the Beats Studio, but hated the sound and the bass was less than impressive
    • I love the bass and low range when I listen to EDM but also great for anything else
    • The bass is slightly enhanced which can hide the mids a bit.
    • I am a real bass head which is why I love these headphones so much but unlike the Dr Dre Beats range the bass is not completely overpowering there is a lot of clarity as well

    • The bass seems a tad more lively
    • Not the strongest bass out there but definitely one of the cleanest
    • The bass is rich and deep and hearty, and certainly not overpowering
    • It is somehow not as warm as the bass or mid-bass--more on the neutral side, but still pleasing
    • What a closed back design offers over an open back design is the aforementioned isolation for noisy environments(who wants to hear traffic or people chattering in the middle of a symphony?), and richer and more precise bass(bass is acutely better in every way when compared to open back**please don't call me names, study speaker design if you don't believe me)
    • I really do not like enhanced bass at the expense of the mid and upper ranges--a flaw in both Beats and Bose.
    • The bass is strong but is horrendously muddy and spills all over into the other frequencies
    • The M-100 are quite efficient and don't require me to carry around my portable amplifier, with very powerful bass and big soundstage for a closed headphone, and they fold up into a very small package that fits in my messenger bag easily.
    • These things have VERY strong bass, pretty good mid range and very good highs
    • Bass often overpowers the midrange, which was a total dealbreaker for me based on what genres of music I listen to.2

    • The bass, immediately, is lackluster, and I almost considered returning the headphones and just buying a second pair of HyperX Cloud IIs
    • Bass and Tremble were outstanding
    • as far i can only say that these ones beats hands down the Pioneers HDJ2000 MK2....very rich bass, the high SPL makes my head to vibrate with bass literally, clear mids and highs, will say that from my headphones collection (only ones i dont have yet are Beyerdinamic DT1350 which i have already ordered) that the only ones that can match that superb bass are the Senheisers HD7 but without such a clearer mids and highs
    • I know they're considered amazing headphones from the experts but for me, the bass was weak and the mids were too strong.
    • with that said i think these headphones have amazing sound, the bass is powerful but not overpowering, the mids are great, the treble seems like it could be a bit
    • The bass doesn't distort but remains crisp
    • If you prefer punchy bass that’s accurate with great mids and highs, then these are a great choice and are a complement to the Sennheiser’s that I have
    • While these might not have a flat response and the bass is elevated just slightly, make no mistake, these headphones are a great studio and general use headphones
    • They have fantastic range, with solid bass that accentuates your music.
    • The bass is clear and deep.
    • They have strong bass and no
    • These sound OK but the bass is loose and boomy and does color the mid frequencies
    • On an airplane I will still be using the Bose QC25 and boost the bass on my headphone amp, but for home use, this is better
    • So hears the verdict Dre Beats are the best marketed headphones period hands down and are good but for truly mind blowing headphones able to handle mad bass with out distorting great highs, and mids The V- Moda'sare the best headphones on the market period
    • It caused a bit of a muddy bass sound due to the amplificatioin, that over-powered the piano
    • In the price range they are in these stand out for all other competitors, and again the bass is nice.
    • While the bass was more powerful on the LP, because of its power it was often overbearing and would intrude on the mids making the primary instruments in some songs more recessed
    • I highly recommend these to anyone with a similar taste in music sound, clear with a good punchy bass
    • The bass is loose but not at the detriment of sound, the mids still come over fairly clear and the treble is sharp and in place
    • The bass is very evident, but not overpowering
    • the sound quality is incredible, the bass is fantastic and not overwhelming, and it doesn't drown out the treble at all
    • Or a headphone that has a beautiful neutral sound, but will lack any of that exciting bass we all crave.
    • this is how you make $300 headphones. extremely solid construction, amazing sound, great bass, and tons of features
    • I found a bass boosted song and it produced enough bass to satisfy me but most songs even bass boosted sound like they have no bass at all
    • The bass is enough and how controlled the bass sounds is perfect
    • Not only will the XL cushions make the headphones more comfortable but they will also enhance bass and overall sound
    • Basswise I would say the V Moda Crossfade LP had a bit louder bass but this bass is a lot more accurate and punchy
    • Bass is strong but not overwhelming, female vocals are fantastic, male so so, mids def recessed but not a biggie, all in all a nice package for on the go
    • For mobile listening the bass seems just right to me+ Bass has a chest-thumping kind of feeling+ Midrange frequencies have a nice lush/organic sound to them that sounds very natural and tonally accurate; the upper-midrange has a slight emphasis (so instruments such as violins, and female vocals are more pronounced)+ Highs have sparkle without being fatiguing+ STEELFLEX
    • Carole king sounded clean, and the subtle bass is awesome.
    • The crisp highs and powerful bass bring all songs to life (sorry Dre)
    • but once i tried them out they blew my mind, so i ordered them and got them within a few days, really nice packaging, 2 year warranty, customizable plates for free, awesome audio quality, crisp bass with amazing vocals and treble
    • The bass was strong and natural, without becoming overwhelming ala Beats.
    • Bass is awesome, tight and punchy (head rattling if you want it that way) without drowning out the clarity of the instruments and vocals
    • Maybe I need to invest in some beats or something because I like to have a good bass
    • They are THE most comfortable headphone I've ever warn (with the XL pads), they look extremely stylish, and the sound completes their personality with sparkly highs and a smooth yet powerful bass.
    • I wish it would rain (tons of instrumental, clear voice, and decent bass)2
    • Beat-ing) they still provide warm luscious bass without being too heavy that your feel like you have 2 subwoofers strapped to your head, I'm looking at you Beats
    • Descriptive/revealing mid-ranges and a wonderful bass - great for producing as well as casual listening.
    • The vocals comes in very clean if the song calls for bass you definitely get great sounding bass
    • While those headphones delivered on clarity they lacked the bass I was looking for
    • I've had the Sennheiser HD280 before, which didn't have nearly enough bass to satisfy my needs, and the Audiotechnica M50, which are a bit lacking in soundstage in my opinion
    • However these sound crisp, clean, and provide good bass without being too cumbersome (the bass doesn't distort sound quality like I've seen in Sony and Beats)
    • -M50x: the soundstage was OK, and there was good deep bass (compared to other headphones in this review and to my taste)
    • The Momentums are in a way similar but just lacking the impact and bass of the M-100
    • Deep bass, clear highs & mid-range and a spacious sound stage with a very open sound, even for an enclosed design
    • I played some Nujabes tracks, and felt that a lot was lost behind the prominent bass
    • The bass is smooth like butter, vocals are perfect, instruments sound great, and I don't need a freaking amp
    • great bass response and the protective case and tangle-free cords all have the feel of being specifically designed by djs for djs...plus the look is definitely sexy!
    • can right, so as long as the bass is awesome
    • When listening to rap the bass is decent, about what you'd expect or maybe even a little light, but even jazz has a decent bass response
    • High sound quality with strong bass
    • They definitely have more bass than I'm typically used to, but it's not overpowering by any means
    • The bass is unbeatable on a pair of portable/closed headphones.- The bass does not over take the mids, you can still enjoy vocals oriented songs.- M100 are best suited with bass heavy music
    • The sound is clean, and the bass, while possibly not as deep as my Beats, sounds a lot punchier
    • The sound is a nice quality, bass is a tad abusive for gaming unless you use an eq and cut it down a bit
    • I have bought several pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones and was never satisfied with the lack of clear bright bass.
    • These headphones have great bass that is clean and not overpowered or muddy.
    • it's richer sound and deeper bass
    • Sound quality: the first song I played was Kai Wachi - RCGNZE, at first impression the bass seemed lacking but the sound quality was outstanding, better than my M50's
    • Beats gives you hard heavy bass, but by doing so everything else is either muddied up or drowned out.
    • clear sound, nice bass, and stylish looks!Would recomend this to anyone who wants the perfect headphones.dont hessitate just buy them!
    • however, this leads to some minor bleed over.- Bass is clean and detailed, with a rich full sound.- Genre specific
    • but I always thought they lacked some bass
    • After about an hour burn in, the bass has already started to come alive
    • I would also like a fraction deeper bass, but that's just personal preference.
    • Let me start off by saying, I am in no way a "audiophile" but I do however love good sound, tight bass, and clean treble
    • Don't get me wrong, there is a normal if not more than normal amount, but i like heavy bass and these aren't over the top like the Beats were
    • they sound great, with very nice bass but not an overwhelming thumping muddy bass
    • Before these headphones I used several Sony XB series (from low end to high end) and Pioneer HDJ1000 headphones, and while the bass in those headphones is very good, it blocked some of the mids and high frecuencies to keep the bass effect
    • Everything is perfectly balanced with great bass that isn't overly hyped
    • A lot more refined, balanced, but more powerful bass than the Beats
    • For those who don't know, Grados are known for having very good renditions of highs, but a weak bass presentation
    • 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.
    • I started with cheap priced ones like the Audio-Technica Solid Bass ATH-WS55
    • Bass is VERY impressive for small headphones.
    • Also, M-100 does very good on sound stereo perception and its bass is better than QC-15
    • A lot of time you will get a headphone that has rich bass, but lacks the highs.
    • Very nicely balanced bass, clear, tonally-accurate midrange, balanced treble that is sparkly and non-fatiguing, very excellent instrument separation: 4.5/5 for mobile listening*Amping*First and
    • I read all over the place at how amazing the bass was on these
    • The bass in these headphones is not so overpowering like Beats, but just enough to be considered base heavy
    • The bass is solid but not overpowering, the mids are full and clear, and the highs are as dynamic as the bass.
    • Sound quality wise these are great for people who want clear meds and highs but want just a slight bit of a boost in bass, they deliver VERY low clean bass however the bass doesn't muffle or overpower the meds or highs by any means
    • Sound quality wise these are great for people who want clear meds and highs but want just a slight bit of a boost in bass, they deliver VERY low clean bass however the bass doesn't muffle or overpower the meds or highs by any means
    • AMAZING for my Post Hardcore music, the screams/vocals don't get overpowered by the knocking bass
    • I guess), and the clean deep Bass ( Really love the bass) that make these headphone sound really different from my Grado sr60i, and Shure
    • I Will recomend you if you are looking for a good bass and perfect audio
    • I upgraded to these after owning the Vmoda LPs and while I did enjoy the extra bass of the LP, the m100s are better for overall quality
    • The bass in these headphones is not so overpowering like Beats, but just enough to be considered base heavy
    • The trebble of these is sparkly, and the bass is booming, making them a really fun headphone for Latin, Pop, Dubstep and Bass emphasized tunes
    • 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
    • Amazing bass and clarity with every genre
    • I have ever the bass is perfect and you can hear every detail it's better crisp sound , rich, and clearly
    • Back to the V-Moda.. crisp sound for rock, hip-hop, house, great bass, great balance
    • They are more comfortable, durable, better bass, etc
    • An overall audiophile headphone yet still very well defined bass.- Adapter to let other people listen to your music at the same time.- very cozy
    • Presentation and instrument separation is also top-notch though detail and clarity needs a bit more work (might be affected because of the abundant bass).Basically, the m-100 trumps the M50 in terms of bass and treble though the mids can be differentiated between your tastes
    • The bass is 'punchy', but its an audible punch not a punch that is really felt
    • they sound great, with very nice bass but not an overwhelming thumping muddy bass
    • All the reviews are correct, the bass is nice, clean and distortion free.3
    • Song after song I just wasn't getting a hard hitting bass that I was hoping for
    • The bass is incredible
    • The sound quality isn't inherently sub-par, it simply wasn't what I intended to buy (headphones with exceptional bass)
    • the bass is awesome but the clarity in music was oh so close to perfection
    • The bass is immense
    • i think these headphones are good for this type of music, dont know about other genres.i noticed that the bass got stronger with some hours of listening
    • Sound is pretty good, but very colored (heavy bass).Hard to like these over a pair of HD600, but I suppose you can drive them without an amp pretty easily
    • The bass is very clear and deep, and the mids and highs are so crisp and clean that every song I listen to is like re-discovering music
    • Even thoughthe bass is LOUD, it would take a RIDICULOUS amount of EQ tuning to the bass before it overlaps the other frequencies
    • The Harmon Kardon's are cheaper and have great sounding bass, but something else is suffering
    • I originally purchased them mostly hoping for great bass, but was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality across the entire range
    • In summary the sound quality in midrange is about as good as a $100 set of PC speakers and the bass is almost nonexistent unless you find specific songs that can make it happen
    • great bass response and the protective case and tangle-free cords all have the feel of being specifically designed by djs for djs...plus the look is definitely sexy!
    • The bass--which is another thing the Beats are supposed to excel at--is much richer in the M-100s
    • The M-100's biggest selling point is its bass and it most definitely does not disappoint there
    • I can jack up the bass and blow out my crappy speakers before i hear any distortion
    • Deep bass, high and mid are Crystal clear
    • The bass is truly lovely, the mids are rich and warm, and there is a decent balance between hi, mid and low
    • Bass is more refined and makes head hurt less
    • These headphones sound full, the bass is not overpowering
    • They have that fast punchy bass thats perfect for EDM
    • The bass actually punches
    • amazing bass that you can feel more than the beats
    • The bass is RIDICULOUS
    • The bass is not quite fast enough to be optimal for music with fast drumming (like most types of metal), but they are not far off
    • Great, tight bass and very well built.
    • The bass on those was horrendous (muddy and way too much)
    • Super strong bass when you want it (using audio driver edits and equalizers) without drowning out the mids or highs
    • I was originally going to buy a gaming headset but they always tend to muddy up bass when listening to music
    • The bass is perfect if you are one of those people that likes to jump from one genre of music to another all the time because they are not made spacifically for certain set of music, cough... cough
    • They have great bass which is a bonus
    • Bass is awesome, tight and punchy (head rattling if you want it that way) without drowning out the clarity of the instruments and vocals
    • The bass is prominent, but doesnt interfere with the mids and highs, which are crystal clear
    • Basswise I would say the V Moda Crossfade LP had a bit louder bass but this bass is a lot more accurate and punchy
    • I wanted something that was stylish, comfortable, collapsible, sounded great, and had a good bass response, slightly increased without muddying the rest of the sound
    • Clarity wise it is but it is missing a little more bass
    • I also own Sennheiser Momentum's which are very light and don't need charging, but have underwhelming bass to say the least and hurt my ears after wearing them for only an hour or two
    • The bass is the clearest I've ever heard (corroborated by a few of my audio tech buddies) and never disturbs or muddies up the highs or mediums
    • Somehow I don't get that incredible bass everybody is talking about
    • I listened to tracks in a variety of genres (folk, jazz, rock, pop), and in many of them the vocals were close to inaudible, drowned out by painfully loud kick drums and electric basses
    • And I feel like the 808 have more bass to them too
    • They still sounded great on other genres, but shine in the complex bass patterns found in EDM.
    • I love trio music, and the bass simply over-powered the piano, when it was the piano that was leading the trio.
    • They are not "flat" and offer some good bass, which I prefer for workout out because I want my music LOUD and feel that with a flat signature my ears hurt because of the mids.
    • The bass on this thing is abundant but not in a bad sense.
    • The bass really shines there
    • UE 6000's favored the sub-bass, while the Crossfade LP1 favored the mid-bass
    • Depending on your tastes the m100 provide an incredible amount of RICH, UNOBTRUSIVE bass that does not take away details in the music but simply provide a fun, full and deep experience of the sound.
    • As someone who doesn't really classify themselves as an audiophile, but cares about getting great sound quality, if you're looking at headphones in this price range and a slightly boosted bass lights your fire, buy these immediately
    • Very nice bass and not at the expensive of everything else.
    • They were moderately comfortable until after two hours of continuous use, produced generous bass, and could generate fairly crisp highs.
    • 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
    • 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
