I have the original M-100 Crossfades. I love them so much but they are so beat up after 5-6 years. I want a new pair but only if they have changed anything. The bass is so nice and punchy, not all crappy and muddy like most base headphones.
Its the same driver used in the Masters and the Codex Editions. Being that the M-100M are wired, you get superior sound compared to running the Codex wirelessly
@@NyteStalker89 I have the Crossfade wireless (gen 1) which according to Vmoda uses a 'Refined M100 driver" so it basically the M100 v2. and this "Master" version is v3 i guess. I wonder if there is any real difference in sound quality between my old C.W g1 and the M100 M. (i only use them in wired mode)
@@NyteStalker89 you need a good soundcard or dac for that..if yours is from the motherboard or only powered by usb it's likely too weak and will distort and lose bass as you raise volume this is why I still have my 10+ years soundblaster Zxr in the pc
Good Lord! I had Vibes 10 years ago. The Crossfade was a brand new design back then. I had a couple pair of original Crossfade LP's in 2012. I cannot believe they have not updated the design in all these years. I got tired of my expensive headphones and earbuds breaking, wearing out, or falling apart for all the money they want. Great sound tho. I was completely in love with my Vibes, Vibe Duo's, and Vibe ii's, (which btw, looked *_EXACTLY_* like the Zn they have now) V-Moda is big on marketing, not so much on design.
@@heinzkitzvelvet because they are the same. They are also Assholes. They released the first pair of wireless headphones without the clickfold hinge .The wireless 2 are with the clickfold.Come one they could have released both the the clickfold
They also have updated the headband to better form to your head. Minor adjustments, but they do make the exp better. The sound quality is better too imo

Not specifically those two models, but I have listened to the M100's, Crossfade I & II's, XS's, and I do believe the Wireless II's to sound better and clearer than the M100's and the first croassade wireless
Closed back. builds up head pressure - very true. fake leather does not last long time and peels off easily. I have m-100 and I see no change. Just the name change and the same cool looking design that makes you overlook the high price and comfort.
I have two of these, each with different shields. Good to see you have some nice looking shields here. Good accurate review too.
Very good review, thanks for this.
Just broke my vmoda LPs after 4 years! love the vmoda quality and i’m hoping these headphones will be even better!

if you want bass use an EQ. stop fucking up headphones by putting extra bass into the speakers
this is better than the m50x hands down, any use case (had both, gave the AT ones away).
Sound-wise how would you compare it to the Crossfade Wireless 2 Codex?
About the same.

Are these bassy? I have the M100 are these less bassy?
Yes, less bassy than the M100.
@@dalethorn2 Thanks for the reply. Would you say they're balanced?
they are not less bassy at all lol. The bass is acutally better and more punch compared to the m100. They sounds overall better than the m100.
@@KingHenzie Seems to be some conflicting answers here, so I'm unsure whether to upgrade or not lol.
@@MrEncore91 i guess everyone on the internet is too stupid to just measure the sound signatures properly so we can see the truth on bass

They updated the design 1) With CliqFold, 2) With all kinds of shields, 3) With better drivers, 4) Other things I forgot....
Yet somehow, they look virtually identical to my LP's from 2012.🤔

I have the sennheiser hd8 djs and nothing has come close in terms of sound and bass impact. I wish someone can do a comparison with these 2.
if you want bass use an EQ. stop fucking up headphones by putting extra bass into the speakers moron
does this headphone closed back?
Yeah they are closed back.
yes
Do these need some burn in or do they sound good out of the box?
Burn is and amp makes these gods
So much better than the dt770 pro
@@SashSmo Have you heard both of the headphones? I'm looking to get either one.
@@SashSmo I heard the XL pads help, you tried em? I have 990's and i do have to say they are like clouds.
@@SashSmo The XL pads really do help a lot, i can never go back to the stock pads
@@SashSmo They do not, and why would you go with the dt770 over these babies?
@@SashSmo Do you use an amp for your dt770 pros? I heard the m100 doesn't require one.

@@natskar I had found some page on vmoda's site that stated the difference. the gen 1 are a bit more tuned for bass it says
@@Tibadude they are yes
i listen to mostly rock and jazz would these be really good for it?
definitely. Both sound great even on the originals.

I have just received mine few days ago and burned in for 40 hours so far. Is it normal that female vocal sounds very far away?
that might be your mom shouting at you while you listening to some tunes :P
