Crossfade M-100 Master Over-Ear Headphone - Matte Black

I have been using these headphones for over five months now and I love them! I used to have Klipsch Image One headphones and while the sound was great, the build quality and comfort left more to me desired. The Crossfade M-100 Master solves both of these issues and sound slightly better than the Image One. The Image One was made of plastic and my most recent pair broke twice in two different spots around where the earcups meet the headband (I glued them back together the first time this happened). I take meticulous care of my things and it isn’t like they broke because I sat on them or something like that. The Crossfade M-100 Master is made of metal in these areas and so I don’t expect these to ever break in the same way. Another problem with the Image One is that, once the cushions began deteriorating, I couldn’t find replacements from Klipsch. Not only did they look unsightly, but I would find small pieces of the cushion in my hair! I can purchase new cushions easily from V-MODA’s website for $15! The last issue I had with the Image One in terms of build quality is that the cable could not be disconnected from the headphones. Once the cable began falling apart, I essentially needed to replace the headphones entirely. With the Crossfade M-100 Master, not only is the cable seemingly much stronger, but it is also removable. If it fails in the future, again I can go on V-MODA’s website and purchase a variety of new cables in a variety of different colors. Their cables also only connect to one earcup, instead of both like the Image One. This makes the Crossfade M-100 Master less restrictive since I don’t have a cable dangling under my chin like a chin strap to a helmet. I expect these headphones will last me an exceptionally long time! The final issue I had with the Image One was with comfort. If I had them on for more than two hours, my ears would start to hurt. I would need to take them off to give my ears a break. The first few times I wore the Crossfade M-100 Master I experienced slight discomfort after extended listening sessions, but that issue quickly disappeared. Perhaps the headband loosened up a bit with use? I have since enjoyed many months of extended listening sessions with zero discomfort! You do pay more money for this increase in build quality and comfort, but for how much I use these for TV shows, YouTube videos, and video games the investment is well worth it for me.

I got a pair of these for portable use in noisy places. I had the Sennheiser Momentum on-ear headphones and the Sennheiser Amperior headphones. I also have the NAD VISO M50. These are all excellent. In the summer, I'll wear the Sennheisers since they are cooler, being on-ear, and in winter, I will wear the V-Moda or the NAD, since they are warmer, being over-ear types. All of them are plenty efficient enough to be powered very well by any portable source without needing an extra amp. All of them will be comfortable, lthough, for the V-Moda, if your ears are large, the available ($20.00) XL ear pads from V-Moda will be absolutely necessary. The Amperior and V-Moda will be stable and stay in place on the head for very vigorous activity. The Sennheiser Momentum, and the NAD VISO, are stable on the head for moderate activity levels. They all offer terrific sound quality with wonderful deep bass, and great midranges and trebles. To differentiate between the NAD and the V-Moda, as they are both over-ear with similar closed can sonics, The V-Moda has slightly better details in the highs, and a bit more laid back mids than the NAD. They both have excellent bass that is well balanced and extends as low as you can hear, tight, flat, and with low distortion and no bloat. In both, the frequency response follows the Harmon curve closely, which means, they carry a good amount of weight in the lows, a natural sounding midrange, and nicely balanced brilliance in the highs. Either pair work well in imaging, and instrument separation and placement in the sound field. The V-Moda has a slightly smaller sound stage...very slightly, but more than makes up for that by the great detail and resolution it can produce in the image. If I were forced to pick one of these two headphones as the only ones I have, it would be a hard pick, since they are both so good. If I were able to EQ the NAD VISO M50 up 3dB in the top octave (over 10Khz) it could be my choice. Straight from any source, the V-Moda Crossfade M-100 Master is my pick, for sound, and style. It is better looking for public use, without sacrificing comfort or build quality, and has the edge in comfort and stability.

The original M-100's are a great pair of headphones. The Masters are packaged in similar high quality fashion. You can tell V-Moda cares about their quality. These build upon the original M-100's and increase the clarity. I quickly sampled a handful of 192kHz/24bit Hi-Def songs, everything from Jazz, Progressive Rock, Techno and more. Every song, had new life. Ran a drum set on my Roland TR-8S and a DJ set on my controller, I couldn't believe the difference these cans make. I also noticed when DJing that they seem more flexible than the regular M-100's. The bass is low and very punchy but not muddy. The highs are very crisp, but not harsh. They seem to have a very well-balanced frequency response. Very durable feeling, just like the original M-100's. The newer pads are almost as thick as the XL pads, have a high-end feel and are comfortable enough to wear for prolonged amounts of time. I may not switch out of the pads to my XL ones, but time will tell. I am a professional DJ and music producer and will be using these all the time. Super happy with this purchase, now to get custom plates made for the sides.

Son d'une qualité impeccable. Très bien construit, fait pour durer. L'étui fourni est rigide, de dimension tout à fait raisonnables, ce qui est ABSOLUMENT INDISPENSABLE pour ceux qui se déplacent avec tous les jours. Le premier fil, orange, a un micro et un bouton multifonction. Le bouton n'est pas très solide... 2ème fil noir fourni avec un splitter (in jack male 3.5mm, out jack femelle 3.5mm (cable court) + out jack male 3.5mm (cable plus long pour le casque)). Pratique pour le PC, vous pouvez brancher vos enceintes et débrancher votre casque à volonté. 6mm vers 3.5mm fourni, je n'en ai pas l'usage. Le casque a deux prises jack. Vous pouvez Brancher un deuxième casque en série donc, mais aussi utiliser les deux comme entrées. Des bouchons en plastique sont fournis pour boucher les prises jack lorsque rien n'est branché, afin d'éviter l'entrée de grains de poussière. Très bon package donc, à l'exeption du bouton multifonctions sur le fil. Egalement, V-Moda vend séparément un fil avec un micro (type casque gamer) dont j'ai entendu de très bons retours. Venant d'un casque bluetooth sennheiser, je ne regrette pas d'être repassé en filaire, bien plus pratique, à condition bien sûr d'avoir une prise jack sur son téléphone. Un peu de bruit si vous laissez le fil se balader en marchant, mais rien de dramatique. En terme de confort c'est pas top les premiers jours mais la pression du casque devient raisonnable avec le temps. Je n'ai pas les cushions XL vendus séparément par V-Moda, mais si vous avez de grandes oreilles n'hésitez pas, car les oreillettes de base sont petites et surtout peu profondes, pour la plupart des gens l'oreille touchera le plastique devant le haut parleur. Pas de réduction de bruit active, l'isolation phonique passive est correcte. à vous de juger si ça vous est indispensable.

I am a bass player, needed a pair of headphones to replace a pair of Shure's that were less than 6 months old and already buzzing like crazy, buy cheap buy twice as they say. I spent a few hours researching and these Moda's kept popping up as the best for bass players. I have neighbours to the left of me, neighbours to the right, I'm stuck in the middle so obviously volume is an issue. These Moda's, whilst pricey are exceptional in my opinion and well, well worth the money. Mostly metal construction and unlike some other comments, I found them quite comfy. they sure seem built to last. Granted I've only had them for a couple of hours but I can tell you now, I had to adjust all settings on my amp and guitar to get that sweet Joe Dart sound I'm currently loving. Bass is chunky without being muddy and doesn't flood the mids and highs which are well represented. Sound reproduction is accurate and really pleasing to my lugholes. I'm not into technicalities but they sound pretty awesome to me. They are a considered purchase but you get what you pay for and you get an exceptional pair of headphones. If you're a bass player, can afford them and need to practice quietly, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these.

Los cascos tienen un sonido muy bueno y superior a mis Sennheiser de toda la vida y aíslan bastante más. Cuando pincho en discotecas con mucho volumen se agradece de cara a poder monitorizar bien sin tener que poner el sonido muy alto

I Am loving it. It’s wonderful product for music lovers.❤️

At first, I thought bass was taking too much place on the songs. I am listening on Deezer hifi 1411 mpbs quality. I changed the audio balance to neutral, and it's more perfect for me. I especially think the acoustic songs sound amazing. Very spacious, rich and detailed. I bought the thicker-ear-pads, and confort is great. I think it's a most, although 50$ more is a lot. I compared them to Senheiser HD8 DJ which are exceptionnal headphones, but with 90 ohms. Regardless, there is not a lot of difference volume, but the quality is greater on the V-Moda, both when I use with my samsung phone, or with my AV tv receiver. As i use my HD8 Dj for music production and electric piano, I will use my V-modas mostly for TV, movies, games and music, using my pioneer amplifier AV receiver which is plugged to my 4k tv. I was using 2.4 ghz wireless Sennheiser headphones with my tv, but I could not stand random interference with my modem, phone, or even remote control. So it was my last experience with wireless headphones. Wired headphones are just better for the sound. You pay only for the sound, and you know you will not have audio-skips. I tested many songs through the XBOX Deezer Hifi app, and sound is amazing. I love EDM but also acoustics. And acoustics gave me the best effect right now cause of it's spatial sound. Very surprising for closed-back headphones. On my amplifier, I have the option ''sound retriever'' and it changes absolutely everything when you put that on. It gives you way more detailed sounding and much deeper bass, which sometimes is a lot, especially on a hard-bass rocking song. So be sure to play with your AV receiver audio options, it might surprises you. Songs by Ed Sheeran, Lana Del Rey, or The passenger sound amazing. Of course, it depends of the quality production of the songs you listen to. EDM music like Tiesto, David Guetta, Benny Benassi have a tasty sound, with enveloping bass. I don't thinks somebody can be deceived by the bass. I like bass, and as I said, sometimes I thought it was a bit too much. But it can all be adjusted with the equalizer of your music app. As for general TV, the dialogues are super clear, so I know movies will be great. Of course, I recommend the product.
