![Z Review - Beyer-Dynamic DT1990 [Like a German Porno...]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-18wp68JHHs/mqdefault.jpg)
After literally a 5 month process of finding the 'right' headphones for me, I ended up buying the vmoda m100. I absolutely love these headphones, and during my process of researching I learned I am not an audiophile, but I do listen to a lot of music and enjoy it even more with a quality set of cans. I primarily listen to DnB, electronic and hip hop music, and the sound is dynamically clear with bass that hits deep enough to feel the thump, but blends well with the overall sound. I like bass and that was the basis for me selecting the right headphones for me, and these cans def does the job. I will say that I researched on a lot of headphones by reading articles and watching review videos, since it was tough for me to actually try most of these quality headphones. The only headphone I was thinking about getting and was able to try were the B.O H6 second gen, and though they were not bad it was not what I was looking for and sounded a little bland to me. I'm sure the type of music will play a role in finding the right headphones, but I'm glad I got these and my guess is they would be versatile enough to suit most genres of music.
Coming from someone else who is looking for a good bass headphone, your review is better than Zeos or whatever the hell this dudes called. They’re obviously marketed towards bass so can he just get to the sound & describe it with more detail & not compare it with Momentums which I’m sure a lot of other people haven’t heard before ? Fuck sake. Thank you btw
I read your comment instead of watching video, and thank you.
Hey S&K, I'm not sure if you still even use CZcams, but reading your comment I thought I wrote it. I've listened to DnB and electronic all my life and recently I started looking for headphones that would allow me to have the deep, clear, surrounding bass without any compromises. I've entered the 'audiophile' realm looking for such headphones, but turns out that 'audiophiles' like sound that I previously thought was just bad gear, meaning - flat, bassless, depthless sound. I bought Senn 6xx's only to find out that those supposedly amazing headphones are just like that. Lo and behold, I'm actually supposed to like it as an 'audiophile'? No thank you, I'll pass on that name then. I have recently found out about v-moda headphones and apart from akg 371's, I've got v-moda lp2's and m-100 master's shipping to me right now. I am wondering whether you have found anything that suits a DnB enjoyer in the last 4 years since you wrote this comment?
@@maxd3589 hey, i got myself some m100 masters a couple years back for DnB as well and they've been great, so im curious have u found anything that rivals them?
V-Moda XL ear pads take comfort to a whole new level..
Yep but how about sound level:????
12:00 Hexagon. You're looking for hexagon.
+Xathos *nucular
okay so this review is 100% spot on. . . i have had the m100's for a few weeks now and everything he is saying about them are true, the discomfort in the padding comes from it being to small in width and the weight because of its metal build. Thats why i ordered the XL memory padding in hopes that the comfort will match the sound quality.
The M-100 Master has just released. V-Moda says it has (and I quote) " a New driver and tuning co-engineered with Roland, new cushions for a more spacious sound, new headband material for improved comfort." Could you check it out and maybe compare it with the original M-100 (Preferably with XL cushions) and/or the wireless series? I'm really curious how it really differs.
Also, I wanted to say that I really enjoy your content! This is by far my favorite audiophile channel on CZcams! You always give great information and have a good, dry sense of humor. Thank you and keep it up!
There are XL pads made for them, or w/e they are called. Its been so long since I got my M100's when they launched, but they've held up incredibly well. Use them for gaming, Music, on the go, and drumming on the studio roland kit.
can these be run balanced in its existing configuration? if you can plug into either cup maybe just a snipped wire and you can run these balanced is what I'm thinking.
You're right about the comfort, but I wear my LP-2's for hours upon hours everyday and I've gotten used to them with their standard ear pads, it really only bugged my right ear but definitely the XL memory foam pads make a difference.
These are my travel cans, and just like minerlolz mentioned they sell XL pads which I have because my ear would touch the diaphragm. You can put the cable in one ear cup and daisy chain straight out the other ear piece, which helps if the other person is sitting away from the ear phone jack or if there are 3 of you. Lastly you can customize the shields on the headphones and put your own logo (just like your HD600s). I have different designs and colors that I can switch from. Love the bass response on these. Thanks again for recommending the HD700s, they arrive tomorrow.
is that the standard LP's? or the LP2's? if so, would you try to compare them?
Glad you finally got around to these. I bought 2 pairs for me and a friend for $110 a pop, have thoroughly enjoyed them. The only downside is the ear pads can be uncomfortable after a while, even with the XL Cushion pads.
+Nathan McAdams the xl pads just aren't thick enough is why.. they get depressed
Let me explain something that I found while modding my Lp2, when I was modding it someone brought their M100 over so he let me look at the driver, when I did I noticed that the driver looked exactly the same but there was a cover on a HUGE massive hole on the center of the driver, the one on the Lp2 was fully open while the M100 is closed so that explains the difference in their signature. They have the same driver.
I have a pair of LPs that I use for gaming and you're right the weight and compression of the band does get irritating after a while, but I do find that they are suited well for FPS games because they have a nice punchy bass and make footsteps louder
5:08 its because these are also marketed towards dj's. A lot of mixers have only 1 headphone output so having an option to split the audio is quite handy when ur doing a b2b or something
How's the bass on the m100?
It's just I am searching for a headphone that has a quality bass, but with great bass impact.
This is because I am in love with hd 598's, but bass is not enough :(
The Vmoda Cross fade M100's are awesome for gaming. Just got a pair and put on the XL ear pads and it really helps offset the discomfort compared to the standard pads. I cant tell you the sound difference between standard and xl since the moment i got them i put the xl pads on right away. I can tell you i tried them on with the stanard pads before applying the xl pads and wow they do help a lot with comfort. Not as much as i would like. The xl pad could be a few mm thicker to help the depth but they sound so good that you will forget about it.
how about a review on your fireplace may be on your other channel?
hey Zeos another awesome review! sorry I got busy with midterms but I will send the philips l2 tomorrow. Will also email the tracking number.
I'd like to see a review of the V-Moda Crossfade Wireless they look nice!
I own the LP², and they're supposed to be better in the highs than their predecessors, and I'm not dissatisfied by them. I do power them properly, and they have all the bass. Which is why I bought them. I bought the deeper ear pads, cause the standard ones hurt my ear tips after a while, and since I wear them all day pretty much at times, the deeper pads are great. I also bought the boom microphone which is great if you connect it to something that can use it (for some reason, most standard sound cards for PCs do not do that).
In any case, I recommend trying them, it would be interesting to see what your thoughts are on them.
That light as a feather part made me lol
DT 770 80s or these for gaming, music, mixing?
Mey man, looking for some advice. I have a pair of philips fidelio x2 (got them from your recommendation) and I LOVE them! But people don't love hearing themselves and my sound through my microphone due to being open back while we paly games. What would you recommend for around the 200 dollar price range? Im a bit of a basshead put also like a clean sound. I would rather have clean sound over more bass but have both would be great! Thanks for all your reviews, you have helped me so much on finding headphones.
I really like my pair. The other great part is that it's pretty compact. They are my go-to for traveling. The only issue I had was the clamp strength. I had to stretch them out a bit by putting some books when they weren't being worn. As you were saying at the end, anything over an hour or so requires a break for your head and ears.
I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the bit about the fanny pack...
Also, the SHP9500 price has finally started to come down after your review came out!!! :P
also, if possible you might want to try the Vmoda XL pads, I think that's a thing with these, anyway.
I have V-Moda LP2s and I love them. I really think it depends on the predominant style of music that you listen to. So far I have loved everything that I have thrown at the LP2s but if you like bass heavy dubstep, drum and bass, electro, and EDM you may like these. But they are not the most comfortable... One hour at most for me but then I have to take a break...
now vmoda wireless beats studio and sony mdr100abn ar at 250 can u say which one sounds better.. and bass and over all.i need a purches dicession
The LP2 is a DJ headphone. I have used them extensively in the field and they are great. They are bass heavy and punchy.. not Hi-Fi headphones like the M-100s.. which are Hi Fi headphones built into a body like DJ phones... the LP2s were designed to be hella durable and loud in one ear in a club and look cool. They do those things very very very well. If you are not a DJ and looking for Hi Fi headphones that are for some reason indestructable, then yes the 100s will be better for you and twice the price.. you can also buy headphones that sound just as great that aren't indestructable for half the price as well by Sony and other brands. LP2s are fantastic DJ headphones.
A thing for style with these and actually all of their headphones, including the newer xs and the old m80/v80s, is that the "shields" on each ear cup, you can change out and get different colors and designs. Plus the xl ear pads imo are much much more comfy like Hell Potato said. Havent really heard the m100s before except at best buy but that doesnt count because people always blast them and fuck up the displays.
Sound-wise, how do the M 100's compare to Audio Technica's MSR7 and Sony's MDR 1A cans? Trying to narrow down my search for a pair of headphones in the mobile category and I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the MSR7's.
I'm literally in the same boat as you my friend. Zeos please answer this question!
Not sure if you're still looking for an answer, but for future generations:
ATH MSR-7's are very neutral sounding, but are obviously awesome. Very clean, the bass is there but not emphasized. These work for pretty much all genre's. These are for an audiophile who wants a neutral sound.
M-100's are not neutral, they have a substantial bass imprint. These are fun sounding. The bass is clean and punchy, the mids and highs are accurate, lower mids perhaps slightly pulled back.
So for my uses - i.e. electronic music/hip hop/rock, I like my M-100's more. I haven't touched the MSR7's since I bought the M-100's.
I'll definitely use them again, but really it all depends on what you want from your headphones.
TLDR;
You can't really go wrong. 1 for a slightly bass-y experience, the other for a neutral experience.
I ended up buying the M-100 because of a discount. got them for 149$ so it was a give in! Thanks for the input
freyafreyat hmm (checks Spotify library) only has playslists for metal/rock and edm hmmm...
how large is the headband on these? I want a bassier headphone, I own the sennheiser hd598 and hd598 cs (the cs version are actually my partner's which she uses a lot otherwise I'd be using these as my daily). The cs version has a smaller/tighter headband that fits me perfectly where the hd 598s headband is too wide which makes for an awkward fit. They're not unwearable per se, but the fit is funny because I try to make the headphones only 2 clicks/notches down from the smallest and this makes them ride up a bit on the bottom of my ears but if I put them to 3 clicks/notches they feel quite big and if I shake my head at all or look downwards and move my head a bit they will fall off. From the sound part of the m-100s, it sounds perfect for what I'm looking for. Just wondering about the fit though. My ears are small so I wouldn't need XL pads I think, but I have a problem with how wide headbands are on headphones. My audio-technica m50xs were also way too wide, and I got rid of them anyways because I didn't really know anything about headphones then and ended up not liking them very much once I upgraded a bit. The hd 598s are definitely smaller than the M50x's but still a bit large. If anyone has the m-100s and could let me know what they think of the size or even better compare them to another headphone I may have tried that'd be awesome. Another plus to the m-100s is the boompro mic compatibility. I also game and atm using a mod mic 5.0 on my hd598s but Im looking for a less neutral more "fun" or warmer/bassier headphone that also fits my small head.
thinking about buying the m100's as a portable on the go headphone, doesn't seem to be a better choice
can anyone recommend a decent portable amp/dac to use with an android phone?
How are they compared to closed Status? A lot of people like Vmoda's bass.
Is there a difference between the crossfade LP2 and the lp1
@zeeviews you must review the vmoda m100 master. I thought they sounded like the meze noir 99 on a lil lower level 😊
now they are in sale.... do you think 150 its ok? or are better options
Any word on LP2's?
I have a pair of lps I picked up about 5 years ago, recently changed the pads to the XL, and they are much more comfortable. Went from about an hour max wearing them to about 3 hours. Better, but not as good as my AD900x.
Which one of these are the crossfade wireless based on?
Got the m100 master (new version) and suffered the pads for a bit, getting XL ones helped, but comfort was still an issue. In the end the ones that really made me happy about them are called Wicked Cushions, just check them out on amazon, they are quite amazing.
I got the Masters almost a month ago with the Wicked Cushions too.
You should review the new wireless v-modas that just came out
Anyone know if we can out zmf pads on those? They have the weird shape that makes me think twice.
Have you tried the Sennhiser HD8 DJ headphones? I was trying to decide between them and the m110s. I ended up buying the HD8 DJs and I was not disappointed.
+VFDB I used them for 2 minutes at the RMAF and the bass wheel does work. Quite well actually.
nice review. keep up the good work.
there are XL ear cups for the m100, makes them more comfortable.
Have a shipment of v-modas coming in next week and i was thinking about keeping a pair for myself but the look reminds me of stink bugs lol. I'll keep rocking the mk3's.
While you're doing closed headphones, why not try out a Denon or two?
Maybe the more affordable Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros would be it's more immediate competitor, especially with the customization of it's headband/ear cup plates and both are bass specific headphones.
You should review b&w p7
Want to review the crossfades 2 I just acquired?
Z, Great reviews. Quick question: I have the Takstar PRO80's (AKA HyperX Cloud) headphones, If sound is my only concern, would it be worth it for me to upgrade to the V-Moda M-100's? (ps: I like bass.) Thanks,
Yeah I can see that.
Awesome! Do you have a better suggestion? (For gaming, music and sometimes movies?) Thanks again.
Have you tried the wireless ones?
lp1 or lp2's were on test?
The sell v-moda wires on Amazon.
I noticed the M100s are not on your list for gaming headphones. So how do they compare to the ATH-MSR7s, not including comfort differences?
Very decent. I still like the MSR7's for their sound.
have u heard the lp2 and any opinions on those vs the m100? still looking for a decent closed set for work and when the wife is annoyed otherwise I prefer open back
+Th3 Drizzl3 the lp2s are like a more bassy lp, thats it really. the m100s are basically better in all departments.
when will you do a review on the big green ball in the corner? thinking of getting one.
+Detective Yates The Yoga ball chairs may get a review. Because why not.
I have the LP's as my daily drivers at work and they're really comfy for me, even for 8 hours a day. Really happy with them for the price, paid $90 for mine. Just bought them to test out before I upgrade to M-100 or XS's.
They're built like tanks too, which is nice. I haven't been able to break my Sennheiser HD25sp's in 15 years though...
+Esa Edvik I recently purchased the LP2's for $120, I love them, wear them every day. I do agree they get a bit annoying after awhile and I have to give my ears a break. I would rather have purchased the m-100's, but I could not justify double the price. I definitely think he should have given the LP's a better chance, and also paired them up with a similar priced v-shaped set of cans.
Hey Z! Are you ever going to review the LP2's? Or the XL's? I see that many other's are also awaiting the reviews on these. So what's the word? I am about to buy a pair but then again, I think that since I don't own an interface yet, I'm thinking of just buying one of those bundles with either a Scarlett or Presonus interface with the included headphones for around $200 instead of a pair of LP2's. Not sure yet but, I am getting all of my equipment through American Musical Supply.
I enjoy watching many of your reviews which is why I would like to know what you think of the V-Moda's that you haven't reviewed yet.
So the Presonus recording bundle comes with their HD7 headphones and the Focusrite bundle includes their Scarlett headphones.
Any suggestions/recommendations? I am willing to accept anyone's experienced advice.
BTW what do you like the MOST Zeos for closed headphones within the $150-$250 range? The Mad Dog's? I'm only asking because you speak of them quite a bit but, I don't know if they fall in that price range?
junglist1soldier LP2s sound pretty close to how he described the LP1s. Probably the worst headphone purchase I've made. Sound leaks from the ports so you can't really use them in public.
fun fact: v-moda offers $20 XL cushions that are bigger and more comfortable... instead of the protective lining of the box... the pads are replaceable... omg X'D that mod you made last minute
Don't V-MODA's have a burn-in or break-in time of like 24 hours or so?
Both were loaned to me used. They were ready for this.
Would you recommend the m100 or sennheiser momentum 2.0 as an upgrade to the audio technica ath m50? If not, any other suggestions? I'm not a bass head. I prefer classic rock, metal and jazz music.
Prajjwal Mahajan Hope you did choose M100, Z said M2 is better but for my taste M100 is way way better, sound signature more fun, more clarity and more bass, especially when you go out and drive it just by your phone.
M2 would be the best suited for your genres as they have more forward mids than the m100
I've had the m-100s and they are great but I'm thinking about getting a set of the new momentum 3 so I can have a wireless setup as well.
How are this 2 compared to the m40x? I saw your m40s review a few days ago and I really liked them. I'm looking for a pair of close backs for drumming practice.
You should definitely review Marshall Monitor headphones. Those are very very very underrated, they are a direct competitor to Momentum and M-100 imo.
Anyone use these for gaming? If so how do you like them?
pls do review of v moda wirless vs m100
Z, would you be able to review the V Moda Crossfade Wireless 2? They’re supposed to a new generation of V Modas. I am considering the crossfade wireless 2 as a versatile music and gaming headset. Thx.
Xii18t just got that pair. They’re good. I’ve only listed to them wireless, which vmoda claims is still cd quality audio. Still need to hear them wired. Vmoda claims wired is hifi audio. I’d definitely get the xl ear pads if you get these. I’ll send them to z if he would like to review them.
i have.the crossfade lp.man they are great.i use them everyday.they sound even better when burned in.they open up.
I feel bad having bought the Crossfade LP's a couple years ago. Although, they are built well and obviously work with the Boom Pro mic, so there's that.. but that's about it.
+VII VII Yeah I think I've had them since like late 2014, the only problem I've had with the build quality is that the metal has some scratches in it and it's a major fingerprint magnet. Other than that and the muddy sound I don't have any complaints. Both wires still work perfectly as well, although I don't think the mic on the 3 button one still works, and the wires tend to hold their shape and get kinda kinked.
*m100 are among the best sounding closed back headphones around*
I have the M100s, which took a while to break in. They sound powerful, but they have some of the most uncomfortable pads that don't fit over the whole ear. The bottom half of my lobe sticks out. I first tried to correct this with the $20 V-moda XL pads, which destroyed the punchy sound and made them boring and mushy. Recently I took some other generic XL memory foam pads that actually can fit over the existing pads, and bam instant audiophile quality. They look huge now. I shouldn't have had to do that, but I already had those pads lying around.
Which pads did you get?
I heard the m100’s in bestbuy it sounds really good. It’s a little bassy but its good bass and detailed. Highs are good. Not too much not too little midrange is good.
Inner fidelity loved the m100. Bass was awesome according to him
I NEED TO GET YOUR VIEW ON THE VMODA M-200.
If I were to get a headphone for gaming and music and only care about audio quality. Should I go for the M100s or the Fidelio X2?
I love my X1's so X2 is how to go about this.
How is the M100 compare to the HifiMan 400i? would you spend a bit more to get the 400i?
+jincuteguy I would. The Planar is worth it.
Hey Zeos how would these compare to the Marshall monitoring headphones and the MSR7?
Until I spend time with the marshalls I don't
I just bought a pair of the Marshalls. Do you want to borrow them at some point and make a review? I wouldn't mind. But I would want them sent back to me within 1 week of delivery since I'm a student and over ear headphones I really need to study haha.
I am a sti down and stare and a screen for 5 hours gamer and I have those M100's with the upgraded pads and the boom pro. I dont regret buying them but for long periods they suck. I am buying the HD558 for my gaming sessions. I also power my headphones with the Fiio E17 btw.
Ive had my crossfade lp's for about 5 years now, and I completely agree with him. They are uncomfortable, the leather bs didn't last a year, and I picked up some Audio Technica M20x's for another closed back for 30$ on sale. I am completely serious when I say, the M20x's sound waayyyyyy better. They are more comfortable, better cable, less damage over time, and they isolate sound better. They are nowhere near my dt 990 pros, but that is to be expected considering they are closed back.
have you heard the LP2
I'm looking for some closed back, over ear, wired headphones for portable use and for under £250. I have a few ideas but would like a second opinion as there are so many options. I listen to bass heavy music mostly, but don't want to be completely limited by this as I can't know what I will be listening to in a year or so. What would you recommend?
Either V-MODA M-100, Focal Spirit Professional or Focal Spirit Classic
Your best bet is with the M-100's or if you're alright with non-foldable M-100's, the V-Moda Crossfade Wireless. They basically sound similar with a little more bass oomph to the Wireless model.
so what's the difference between open and closed back? I've been trying to get so headphones and I were to be looking at the Liberate XLBT Bluetooth headphones, but I want to know if they're worth it.
+Damian Reyes czcams.com/video/hy8wmGnuCbE/video.html
Z Reviews thank you
So What is a great sealed Can that I can get to use with my Iphone and no amp? Help
B&O H6? ATH-MSR7?
Would you recommend M-100 for video editing?
It has good clarity, but very bassy.
My left driver stopped responding to bass below like 140hz it's awful. Given vmodas "tough" marketing the headphones really didn't last all that long. I took them apart to check the soldering and it all seems good. The driver is just glued into the housing so I can't remove it for further inspection. I only had these around 3 years and I absolutely completely babied them. Compared to a pair of HD 380s I beat to absolute fuck and back DJing with in clubs that lasted like a decade.
Best headphones I have ever had
Who's you go with these, the DT 770pro 80, or the HM5s?
js_greene I have both these and the DT770 Pro 80 ohm, and they are both pretty different headphones. It really depends on your needs and the type of sound you want. The DT 770's, as far as the sound, I have a great deal more respect for the sound them versus the m100's. The DT 770's are just so much more neutral, whereas the m100's are very much bass oriented. The m100's don't sound bad at all, they are just aren't flat at all. The soundstage is a BIG difference between the two. The DT 770's have an amazing soundstage. Sounds like your wearing a small room on your head, probably a lot better for gaming too. Whereas, the m100's definitely sound more narrow, pretty much like your just wearing headphones. I love the m100 for portability though and customization. Again, it depends on what you need.
I really disagree with your opinion on the LP's. The sound is not muddy at all, and it's a great pair of headphones for the price
+Proxxifi Two things. Sound is relative to who's hearing it. But you can also use other headphones to compare against. For example, you should say something like "These aren't muddy at all compared to "x", otherwise, then you are literally stating an opinion against another opinion and it's almost useless. Unless you mention something like "I'm a basshead" which can somewhat be compare to Z being "a naturalist" for want of another term xD
+Proxxifi to me they are really muddy
+Durrant Miller Damn, you even beat everyone headphone reviews.
LOL
Those were terrible lol Worst things I have invested on so far. My se215 sounds way better than those.
Ok, so it's 2020. I guess I'm not an audiophile because no matter if I buy the Senheisser 58x Jubilee, or the AKG702 Limited Edition, Hifiman 400xx, I still comeback to my beatup M-100's because to my ears they sound just so fun and amazing to my ears.
How well do the m100 work without an amp? Eventually I will probably buy an amp but I would also like to use these on the go.
Seth Parker I own a pair for 3 months now they sound great especially for bassy electronic music (techno,acid etc) the only thing I'll say is that if you own an android you may want to buy a portable amp such as the fiio q1 as they could do with a little extra power. On my iPad they don't need any extra power imo. If you listen to bass heavy music but don't want muddy bass I'd say get these. Just my opinion I don't own any other headphones to compare them to.
Get an lg phone like the v30, v20 or g7. They have a separate DAC and amp and can drive headphones up to 600ohm
Usually the voice of your videos is so much better. Have you changed your set up?
Older video, GoPro Hero3 vs the new 4
what about the LP2?
i think they fixed the muffeled sound
+Chester Yonany I have both he M100s and LP2s and used to have the LPs. The LPs are garbage. Dunk your head in mud, play some 64kbps mp3s through a bluetooth speaker and that's what the LPs sound like. LP2s are much improved, but still not nearly as clear as the M100s. They have more bass than the M100s, but it's not as tight or refined. But the clarity of the M100s kills the LP2s.
+NiteWalker Thanks for the info :)
Huh. So is the soundstage really a significant difference from the m50x?
yes.
I'm getting those :)
i think that the v moda crossfades lps arent that bad, but it could beme couse they are the first expensive headphones i have, my forst kind a good headphone is the numark red wave carbon or something like that
I'm on the same boat where I've never owned good headphones but I'm not sure if I'm wanting to buy the LP2 or the M100 😔
M-100 easily.
Considering I have the LP, LP2, M100, and ATH-M50. I would say that the original LP, the one presented here isn't as bad as he's showing them to be, but to each their own. If you're an audiophile and LOVE your sound (as you can tell he does because he starts to get upset towards the end of the video, which is sad) then defiantly go for the m100s or even the ATH-M50. If you don't care that much the LP will be fine for you and if you can get the LP2 for a better sound quality.
The M50x and M-100 sound identical, to me at least though the M-100 have more lows than the M50x. Kinda interesting because both headphones have very different intended use cases.
Hey Z (and/or other experience audiophile) I'm looking at these and the SHP9500s to use for gaming (leaning towards the 9500s). I already have a pair of closed-back headphones for public use, and I don't need the benefits of noise isolation. Ignoring the difference in price, do you think that the 9500s are better for gaming due to it being open-back and it having a larger soundstage? I'll be using the BoomPro for gaming (RIP ModMic). I know you don't like to compare open-back and closed-back headphones but still. Anyone else other than Z is free to answer me as well.
Why such a price difference anyways? I'd say the SHP's are a bit better due to the soundstage, but I would recommend the Fidelio X2's instead of either of those pairs.
+nathaniel palmer Me and my friend were arguing about which one was better for gaming and his assumpion was the V-Modas because it "was impossible for a $60 pair of headphones to be better in any way compared to a $200 pair". I wanted to get someone with experiece with both headphones to prove me right.
+DeltaWolf X Oh, I'm not the best judge then since I haven't heard either :p the shp's are probably better for hearing foot steps and stuff, and the v moda might be better for just fun since they most likely have a good amount more bass
did you reviewed that ball chair?

I love my m100s, but the XL Pads are a must. I tried the lps and the m100s. The lps sounded like absolute shit. The lps sounded like 30.00 headphones with tincan ear pads. The m100s are my daily drivers. I will say the m100's cause ear fatigue but once you switch out the pads for the XL they not only sound a little warmer but are a lot more comfortable. The m100s are great without a amp and when amplified, sounds like a softer t50rp mayflower mod. You can get the m100 pretty cheap if you find a good buyer and I also love how easy it is to mod with faceplates. I would rate the m100s about a 6.85 out of 10. I only got the LPs because it was 25.00, had the cables and rem and rom plates.
I have a m100 and the strews have fallen out twist on the hinge I got the strews back in one time but I lost one of the strews the 2nd time and I need to send them back because vmoda won't send me a strew. Also vmoda makes XL pads for the m100 which alot better than the normal ones .
+MinerLOLZ Tiny screws that go missing suck. You can't even go to a hardware store to look for it.
I usually use mcmaster Carr for small hardware.
