Other then that these are simply UNMATCHED in sound quality...but for me the comfort issue was a deal killer...if you have smallish ears and lots of hair atop your head these will probably work for you, but in my case I will probably have to sacrifice the best sound for more comfort and got with the Quiet Comfort Bose headphones

Below is a mod that not only is great for alleviating any comfort issues, but also substantially alters the sound quality of the M-100

[open back]:too much sound leakage and minor comfort issues - superb sound though that I couldn't beat in my testing (very subjective of course)

The comfort issue is all to common in this category.

I ordered XL cushions just in case and they solved the comfort issue

the pain caused by the band across the top of my head....the other problem for me is another comfort issue which may have been resolved by paying another $20 plus shipping tor the XL ear Pads

XL pads are available on the V-Moda website so check them out if you're having comfort issues

i am taking 2 stars off for the comfort issues

Once I replaced the ear pads, I no longer have the comfort issue.

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

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

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

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

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

n’t recommend using these for exercising

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.

Beautiful Product, very good U curve, no muddy lows or tinny highs, definitely a better headset for fashionable audiophiles.
