I recommend getting the XL earcups, not only do they alleviate the comfort issue, but they make the soundstage and bass much better
Do they make them look much bigger on your head? I have a small head so don't want them to look huge.
H1NCH It's memory foam so it would compress when you put them on. So no, they should not look big on you
Purchased the Pulse on your recommendation a few years back and luved it. Recently it cracked up and needed replacing. Due to this review, a M100 is on its way. Thanks for the reviews and your insight!
Thanks for the review but one small correction. The 1 million bends was for the cable not the actual headset. Although, I am sure it would last just wanted the clarify the information from the packaging.
Finally! Told you to give them a shot a long time ago man! Glad you loved them, it's also one of my favorite sets
These are incredible. Testing them on my iTouch, the only EQ option I could really chose was Flat or Off since all the other options muddled the tracks. With Flat and Off these headphones were just too much. Really bright. Had to jack the volume high for some bass response. I bought the "Poweramp" App for my GS3 and it has really brought my m100's to life. I EQed the sound so that the mid was more pronounced. But then there's the "TONE " option which let's you crank the bass and treble. It adds a new dimension to the music.You can turn the bass dial to right before it starts distorting and these things THUD. It rattles my thalamus. The treble option really crisps everything up. Like thoroughly clean tops with thudding bass. It's remarkable. The Solo HD's definitely can't handle the EQing. These M100's will have you snobbing left and right. Music just doesn't get funner then this.
hi ryan thanks for your reply , yea its a shame more people don't know about the mad dogs i really appreciate what dan from mr speakers created and if he sells loads more then i would love to see what he comes out with in the future i hope everything he does is a success coz his products are one of a kind , im glad your enjoying the mad dogs and i think your right as most folk cant afford headphones like audeze,s ect and mad dogs are a fantastic alternative and brilliant value for money
Great review, covered all the little details. I think these are gonna be my next cans in a few months.
I was going to get the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0s, but I decided on these as of this video because I listed to more new music than what the Momentums are for. I also, love bass. Thank you for the video!
I just got the XL pads and there is a huge improvement in comfort. I highly recommend them.
I'm getting these for my B-Day, so hyped!!!
nice review been waiting for this one, these are on the shopping list, thanks for the review
Your videos and reviews are awesome
Thanks man. I actually received the M100s yesterday.
The M100s do tend to drown out the mids a little bit though... and the highs are a little bright. Depending on what you're listening to the headphones can sound pretty bad.
But once you turn on a great hip hop or dubstep track these things are like a rollercoaster for your ear drums. Very fun experience and makes you want to listen to music a lot more often.
One problem is my ears are sore after extended use. Prolly need the XL pads.
I have the Westone ES5 and I find the M100 feeds my desire for that fun and lively sound that warm and balanced sounding cans like the ES5 seem disregard. Great to have best of both worlds. =)
I currently own the Crossfade LP2. Had them for almost 2 years now. Never really treated them with the respect they deserve, but they've never flat-out broke on me. I dropped them many times and the earpiece fell out once or twice snapped it back into place and they're good as new. From what I hear the M100 are even more durable. As far as the sound goes, the M100 are a bit on the bassy side, but they don't drown out any other frequencies, but from what I hear the XL pads really balance them out
Mostly I knew about the quality of these headphones. What I cared about was how they seemed in size and you explained they were not very large and you put them on. That is what I cared about most. Thanks.
Thanks a lot, I already have the New Beats Studio and I really like them. They are so comfortable, especially with the ear cups. I am a bit concerned about the V-Moda's ear cups though. Thanks for getting back to me!
Getting these headphones tomorrow :) can't wait !
thanks man i see that you help people and i respect that thank you wish you the best of luck
I use them for DJ'ing and the work perfectly because they cancel noise easily and they are eye appealing when traveling so good
If you get these (which you should), get the XL earpads. They make a HUGE difference.
This is understated, unless you have small ears the stock will hurt your earlobes. They also increase soundstage and make the highs less harsh. I can’t use these without them, well worth the $20, even adds more plush comfort.
Edit: 5 years late 😂 just trying to convince my self to find those hinge screws and fix em. I liked them that much!
I just got mine and i love them.
Yea that would be a great choice! I plan on buying VModas next year or two
Nice review! I've been planning to get these headphones for a while. I'll most likely buy them in a month or so.
The grey/black xl cushions are recently available. It's like laying my head on a pillow, very comfortable with long term listening. I asked them about white variations they said they hope to have them in the future.
another great product, thanks for reviewing these headphones.
Keep up the great work!
Great review bro, it really help me to choose a new pair of headphones! Thumbs up for you!
For the comfort, there is a paper towel fix to put under the cushion and it'll solve the comfort problem just look it up. These have been the headphones i've been saving up for for a while because I feel like they are better than most other headphones for the price. So thank you for your review :)
Great review as always.
i listen to a range of music from classical to edm, would you recommend these.
cool review bro- ima be making these my favs toos!!
Best sounding 300$ of headphones by far. Metal > Plastic as well. I got mine a year ago. still sound great. Love customizing the shields.
fantastic review. I'm genuinely surprised at how good they look on. Please review the MDR-1Rs now, I've been waiting for months
Awesome new intro!
thanks for this helpful review. I am going for the matt black very soon....
Great review! Think I might have to invest in a pair of these at some point
Great cans, great review. Nuff said.
You look funny trying to smile and talk at the same time."let's get right into it" lol
I like a simple yet stylish desighn so i dont think the industrial style does it for me. But i love the way it folds up and i bet everything else about it is brilliant
Yes!! I've been waiting for this video :D
v moda m100 or senheisser hd 25 1 ii for dj use, what do you think?
Exact same dimensions, (minus those awesome hinges for portability) I believe. The ear-pads were interchangeable as well the shields.
Finally watching this video with this pair of headphones on!
That is true. You're right. But just for clarification, poweramp is a music app on the play store not an actual amp and you can try it for free for 14 days. People usually buy it after the trial. They're that good lol
good review man chears for putting this vid up, these are 100% going on the shopping list, ps have you ever seen mr speakers mad doggs? and the beautiful meze 88? thanks
I've kind of realized that I don't like scooped cans for the most part, even for casual use. That's just me, though, and I still do use ye olde DT-990 pro when I feel like it. Like you said, it's always good to have both options.
Great headphones with great bass for those that like listening Hip Hop. But its true, after an hour or two they do tend to bother my ears as well. I've had these since January and love the sound and built quality!
They do get better in time. They never remain fully comfy due to the design for a lot of ears but in a few days you will see an improvement.
Depends on your style, if you want insane great bass, VModa m100s. If you want a great overall headphone that works great on every genre, the momentums
JUST A HEADS UP! IF YOU BUY THESE GET THE FIIO E18! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! The FiiO E18 brings these headphones to life! if you have an android phone its worth buying and using with your phone. If you have an Amp at home or a really good sound card on your PC to hear the true beauty of these headphones you will enjoy it! they are worth 300 for sure just because the built quality is top tier how small it is when you carry it and the warranty plan they have after 2 years are up they give you 50% off your next pair. That alone is just amazing. I got these and popped them on my Galaxy S3 and was upset because how basic it sounds on the GS3 without the amp. I ended up doing research online and found the FiiO E18 and never expected to hear serious bass and how high quality the audio was. Even for movies blu ray movies on my PC sound stunning! bass is so nicely balanced it sounds amazing and has a clean bang to your ears instead of a muddy super bass sound that mess with the mids drastically. Enjoy them, because i know i am.
is this headphone good if i have E11??
Eh just get the E18 they're VERY WELL
Erwin Smith i alrdy have e11 i dont feel like buying e18 atm :(
***** xD well you can try them with the E11,i dont have them
Dude, you are my fucking hero. I have been searching for something to give me some boost on my android, thanks bro!!
Review by someone who actually owns these headphones:
.Extremely bass intensive, though never to colorize, or distort the latter.
Extremely recessed mids, may seem hard to find detail in mid-range sounds, may drown out some sounds and vocals completely.
. These are genre specific, okay for some Rock music or indie rock, pop, not ideal for classical, all in all, these were designed for the basshead who dabbles in copious amounts of electronica.
JONAHonTHEhill I’ve owned these headphones up until they got stolen plan on buying a new pair today I had lp2 but plan to jump up to m100 these are the best headphones for the money for sure
Bass intensive is a little exaggerated, the bass is punchy and fun, it doesn’t smear the sound like some Beats do. I don’t think the mids are recessed either, mids and high are pretty good and vibrant but if you really want better soundstage and comfort the XL pads are a must, these are not big ear friendly stock, and the XL will also take some of the harshness from the highs off.
Nice new intro love it
Ok yes these headphones do hurt after 1 hour, just go on vmodas website and get the XL cushions that are $20, they will allow you to wear 5hours+ no discomfort, also will keep your ears warm outside in the winter :p
Most definitely!
Hi UrAvgConsumer, I'm trying to decide which color M100 to buy. Because of the shadow headband staining and becoming dirty would you recommend the matte black over it? I'm not a fan of the white, but I'm torn between both blacks because I really like the look of the Shadow but worry that it will stain.
Best headphones are v-moda for me. Bass and clarity you can't beat that
It is the kevlar reinforced cables that can be bent over 1million times, not the headband. The steelflex headband can only be bent flat approx 10+ times, which is more than enough if you want to adjust the clamping force. Don't bend them too much or they will break. The comfort issue will be addressed by the XL pads which can be separately preordered now from the VMODA website.
Oh definitely these. This beats almost all major branded life style headphones like beats and SOL Republic. The two best for life style headphones are the VModa m100s and the sennheiser momentums
Totally Agree with You
Best Headphones out there right now and totally worth the money
you should check out the v-moda crossfade wireless
These, they are similar but the VModa's build quality and clean bass and everything about it is just better
HEY THERE !
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHICH ONES ARE BETTER...
THE V MODA M 100 OR THE SOL REPUBLIC MASTER TRACKS ( XC ) ?
I DO CARE A LOT ABOUT THE LOWS MIDS AND HIGHS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHICH BASS IS MORE PRESENT AND VIBRANT.
PLS HELP!!!
dude i have the same exact watch!! awesome videos btw!
***** I was actually at a Best Buy a few hours to do a comparison on some headphones. I went ahead and turned in the new Beats by Dre Studios for a different pair of headphones. Not that I didn't like the pair, I love them and I listen to music everyday, if not, every week with that pair. So I compared the Studios 2.0 with some other headphones I saw at the time at Best Buy which were: Bose QC Soundtrue, QC 15 & 25; Monster 24k & Adidas; and Sony Extra Bass. After the comparisons, I did remember your review videos about the V Moda Crossfade M100 and they looked pretty good to try out. Hopefully they are as good as how you reviewed it and I make the right decision on what pair I should get.
The thing about the earpads, you can get an alternate XL pads off Vmoda's site for 20 bucks.
Yep now that new done the review... gotta go buy them
They are the best out there
You should use a portable headphone amplifier with these, The bass can get crazy hard and sounding clean its a day and night difference.
They are better than Audio Technica ATH-m50x??
*Yes*
I have the same comfort issues with mine m100. I look the earpads off and found tat the speaker grill is raised which did not go well with the already a bit thin earpads. Can't wear them for more than an hour or even less.
If you have troubles with the comfort of these headphones, get the XL pads from v-moda's website. They are the most comfortable headphone pads by far and they only cost 20$
Awesome review! Now try the LP2s. :D They have even more of that tight, hard-hitting bass, but take a slight hit to the mids.
Hi UrAvgConsumer! I am currently torn between getting the Momentums or the VModa M100s. Some of the key discussion points:
- Sound: I like the warm sound of the Senns for classical but also like the bassy punch of the VModas for EDM. I may listen more frequently to EDM though.
- Looks: The real leather in the Momentum looks amazing while the M100 is made with faux leather. The customization of the M100 looks very cool though
- Features: The option to daisy chain and plugging the cable on either side is very cool on the M100. It folds for more portability (only points for the M100 here)
Sorry to rant but I like the idea of owning both and want some insight before putting down $300. Thanks!
Honestly, I say go for the M100. Seems like you know most of the benefits of having it. I like the momentums but I find that the M100 cover a bit more ground. The M100s will also be just fine for classical music. The Momentum are excellent looking headphones but I think the customizability of the M100s not to mention its features, push me more in its direction.
Either one is a solid choice overall but I definitely enjoyed the M100s more, so it gets my vote.
***** exactly right
@@UrAvgConsumer why Do you think the m100 fits with classic music?😂
Sound quality is what i care for do u think these vmoda hit the spot for all rock genre as well as hip hop clarity and some bass?
Fantastic video
Hi uravgconsumer,
I’m deciding between the M100 and the Crossfade wireless 2. I listen to mostly hip hop and edm and am a bass lover. Which would you recommend? I may pair either with a FiiO A3 amp.
Thank you!
i paid 150 for my custom pair of the crossfade LP but it was around christmas time it comes with a leather band instead so my pair dont seem to have a problem with staying clean
Just bought my pair should be here soon, hopefully you are correct. Thank You
Does the shadow suede version show wear on the suede headband after using for a long time?
Can you do a video of v-moda m100 vs audio technica
I trust your reviews man
Use an app called Wavelet, it was day and night difference for the bass with the correct settings and yes you have to pay for all the settings but its cheap and well worth it
If you use them on an iPhone or any phone in general, will they still have awesome sound or do they only have good sound if you listen through other mediums like computers?
Ya I really want people to know there are better options out there than lets say beats. And another consideration for you could be the Sony MDR-1R, they sound great if you listen to a lot of vocalists.
wooh new intro haha, nice.
hey man i was wondering if theres any safe place where you can sell/companies buy your headphone (apart from ebay, amazon or CeX) thanks!
hey im a new subscriber and just have a question for you what should i get the vmoda m100 or the bose qc25 just looking for some advise. i want the more comfortable/ stylish one but i don't want beats as they are to easy to break
Nice video **Thumbs Up** and for the shields well how do I take them off does it come with a screwdriver or tool?
Super cool headphones
i have the matte black ones. awesome headphones i must say.
How well does that angled connector fit with an iPhone5 in a case? I'm looking to get these, but not sure about that connector.
Also does the metal part that connects to the ear cups seem durable or do you think they could snap easily? I don't need portability so durability is the most important thing for me.
Many times I listen to music on my couch and end up falling asleep. Just want to make sure it could withstand me laying on them by accident and that the ear cups won't snap off.
He mentions that they may get uncomfortable after a while, I have the Crossover LP version, which is pretty much the same in matters of shape and I can say if you upgrade the ear pads to the XL version they sell you get rid of that problem.
I have one week since I upgraded to XL and man, it really nails it. It's deeper, wider and a lot more comfortable.
where can u get the xl pads from in the uk? could not see it in amazon
jonneymendoza can you order them direct from the v-moda website? v-moda.com/xl-memory-cushions/
Damn that outro bass almost blew my siberia v2's to pieces...
HEY? Will the black color less stain the headband? The shadow stains as I can see.
Is it possible to replace the ear cups and if so send me a link to the best ones you can buy plz
Hi, I have been doing some research for weeks trying to find the right pair of headphones. I have been watching many of your reviews for guidance but just can't seem to find the perfect pair. So I figured I would ask you for recommendations. I have been using the same SONY MDR-XB700 for years now. I absolutely love them! They sound great and can really take the power I send them through my headphone amp. But I have used them so much that a lot of the material has started to rub off from the headband and cushions. So I have been on the market for a similar pair for a while now. It seems as though the market for large diaphragm ON/OVER EAR headphones has kind of inflated since I purchased these. But I have been having such a tough time finding a pair that comes with EXTRA LARGE cushions like these. Some of the parameters which I would be willing to compromise would be materials/sturdiness/clarity/portability. I really only care about one thing, which is comfort. I purchased a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-PRO700MK2 and although I was impressed with their build/sound quality, compared to my XB700s they're incredibly uncomfortable. Any chance you can help me find a new pair of headphones with GIANT cushions? Thanks
on his top 5 headphones, he stated the vmodas m100 are his go to headphone when going out, but his favourite are the sony pulses, however sony pulses arent that portable and lack portability.
Are these good for being in the gym and dealing with sweat and all? because I want but don't want to ruin them
These, the Amperior and HD-25 are great v-shaped cans, (the "v" or "u" is pronounced the least on the HDs and the most on the M-100 in terms of bass; you get the most detail with the Amperior), or if you want something darker/less harsh with a better midrange, the M-80 would probably be good.
I personally like the HD-25, but they might not have enough of a low-end hump for some of the more avid bass-lovers who cherish, say, the XB series. I would seriously recomend the M-100 and M-80 if so.
