@@RealTalk532 yeah, I hope he's having a blast of a retirement. He is one of those guys you wish he'd live forever 😅 he's the Stan Lee of headphones 😎👍
I'm a pro drummer who has used and trashed many different headphones and tho I got my M-200's for 300.00 I'm more than happy with them. I got a pair of crossfades and M-100 a few years back to use for stage/studio and they are still functioning 100% after getting a complete beatdown, they are the most bomber build I've used for sure. I do notice distortion at higher lvl but I use a limiter most of the time for stage monitoring which does help their performance. IDK if you're looking for bomber v-moda is good to go
I still have my M100 and it was my favorite headphones ever, I beat it to pulp and now is still in desperate condition. Sadly Val was struggling financially and part of the company if not in its entirety got sold off. This M200 look nostalgic to me, but now enough to justify the steep high price and lack of features. That's very sad.
You’re comparing a studio headphone to consumer headphones. It’s fascinating how you failed to mention this. Vmoda is not aiming for the Sony market. Ridiculous oversight on your part.
Well yes they make studio headphones as well, and they are the most popular brand among DJs. But Vmoda only has 3 studio headphones (The original M-200, M-100 and the Crossfade LP2) All other heaphones including M-200 ANC is consumer headphones
Can you please review the Yamaha YH-E700A and the Rolfstone Focus . You use the Sennheiser Momentum 3 , Bose 700 and Sony WH-1000XM4 as a reference but what happened to the Bower and Wilkins PX7? Do you still like those headphones?
Fun fact. M-200 ANC baseline sound is flat like their studio focused wired only counterpart. You need to use the app to EQ the headphones. Also. V-moda doesn't say this anywhere.. but you need 40+ hrs to burn in the drivers. Anyone buying expensive headphones and not properly burning them in probably shouldn't be into expensive headphones. The standard M-200s were underwhelming @ $350 until I burned them in and applied a custom EQ for gaming or music. Even flat, the base M-200s sound really good for what their intended use.
The owner Val did sell part of the company to some Japanese/Chinese company I don't remember the details, but it's ture they were struggling financially. But I have the M100 headphones and it was my favorite cans, but I've beat them to crumbs, they still work, but they are in desperate conditions 😂. For the price this M200 is a no go sadly.
@E. O. I'm not sure about now, but back in the days you could laser print and 3d print the side plates on each ear cup, and that was the main reason why the design remained. I still got my custom side plates.
@@badomen8262 Crossfade Wireless 2 Codex is a great-sounding headphone, and looks better than the M-200 imo. I would stick to that unless you need ANC.
From what you said it sounds like they sound way worse than the V-MODA M100, is that right? If yes people should just leave the M200 (ANC) alone and go for the Crossfades 1, 2, Wireless, Codex Edtion whatever they all sound like the M100.
I've been a long time fanboy of V-Moda, but when Roland took over (or merged or whatever), it was painfully clear that quality suffered. The V-Modas of old (m-100s, Crossfade2, etc) aren't close to as good as they were. Very sad and as a result, I've not purchased V-Modas since.
Wow, on a set of studio monitors your first minute 15 intro sounds extremely muffled. Highly compressed. I want to change that up. Especially since you’re reviewing headphones and people are looking for clarity. Just a thought.
Justo me salió un anuncio de estos audífonos y gracias a este video me queda claro que no valen la pena Muchas gracias Ah y gracias también por los subtítulos
Thank you for the review. I’ve been a big fan of V-Moda since the Crossfade Wireless. I can’t believe that the 3 buttons that controls the volume and play are still very mushy. For $500, I would rather get a pair of Sony’s and Bose or an AirPod Max. Very disappointing. Seems almost like a cash grab for V-Moda.
I got these about two weeks ago and don't have the same complaints that this reviewer has BUT I haven't tried all of the other headphones he has either. I do feel that these were overpriced as the quality of certain aspects has dropped since Roland bought V-Moda, but these are worth around $400, at the full retail I am considering returning them since I'm still within the 60 day period. They're good enough but at this price point I expected better.
@@CybertroninfiniteOfficial I hadn't ever purchased anything from Roland or even did any research on them but since I had been a V-Moda customer for over a decade I thought that these would be much more of an upgrade and would have a similar level of quality as the other products I've bought from them since 2008. After nearly 2 months I'm still kinda... indifferent to these. I like the app but any equalizer app should do similar things. I like the fact that they charge via USB C, but that's not really a big deal. They sound good but not that different from the Crossfade Wireless 2 Codex edition that I got in October
Unfortunately as much as I wanted to like these headphones I have to agree 100% with everything this guy just said. I have a pair of wired v-moda's the first ones that came out and I prefer them instead of these. The sound is horrifying. I really don't give a s*** about noise cancellation but the noise cancellation is trash. The build quality is excellent for absolutely not $500 excellent. And on top of that the app never worked. So I actually prefer the older vintage v-moda's than this new models. But lucky for me I paid 20 bucks for mines. I just never thought that I was getting $20 of quality.
No mention of true burn in. Using them off and on for a few days isn't burning them in. The M-200 and these M-200ANC need 40+ hrs burn in for the drivers to shrug off distortion.
I am not even 50% with you on this view. I have a pair of the V-Moda M200 ANC and find them a very good and very comfortable pair of headphones. The sound is actually quite good and the base works very well also and especially with the new App equalizer, the ANC works very well for me. I have to say I honestly can't fault them very good, the headphones and very strong. all that needs updating for me is the buttons need to be cushioned, but otherwise very good pair of headphones.
Yo I got them too and for some odd reason they sound blurry? Bass is good but the quality and clearness of the sounds overall aren’t good I need help fixing that lol
Just coming out in 2014? Stereo bluetooth headphones were available way back in 2006, probably a few years earlier than that. That being said, I've had most V-Moda over ear headphones and though I like these they aren't worth the asking price. They're fine but for $500 I expected better.
I noticed you seem to hate on apple products. I own over 30 pairs of high end headphones and still enjoyed my airpod max experience. Yes I returned them but it had nothing to do with the ANC or even the sound quality.
You’re joking. I tried them recently and they’re so terrible against $350 Senn Momentum 4’s for example and my old Somt WH 1000 MX4 or whatver theyree called
I have been using v modas for 11 yrs I love there sound For these kinds of headphones u really need to go out n have alisten for urself n see if u like them or not Many ppl have different taste in sound n music.
@stars will fall he’s not the only reviewer that has said the exact same thing. And v-moda doesn’t have the weight to be putting out a $500 pair of headphones. 9/10 ppl will go for AirPods max at that price.
I had a pair of of V-moda ZN (in ear) and an over ear crossfade pair. They sound great. But NOW, in a market with Sennheisers, Bose, Sony, MW65, B&H.... the V-moda’s are irrelevant. Especially at that pricetag.
@@dvil51 True, 2nd-hand vmodas are the best tho. At usually 70-90$, you get clean smooth V-shaped sound with boomy bass if that's what you want. Other companies at that price point usually don't offer as much, though some have great sound that is more balanced and monitorable
I have a question. The thing is i have Sony WH-CH700N And i using them with my PC with bluetooth adapter. When i'm using them like that they are very boring. (No app on pc) Can you give me an advice what app on PC should i use or what headphones can i use on pc for wider soundstage. Doesn't matter wireless or wired.
he talk like he is musician .. bro at club non of this compares to V -moda with its base with its mids and highs.. not even beats pro is near to V moda ... stop this marketing shit
These are the worst headphones, don't waste your money. They sound good but the blue tooth is super weak and the battery needs to be plugged in most of the time. Did i mention how uncomfortable they are.
Not enough LOL considering his review of the AirPods Max was positive but certainly not perfect. He even said the Momentum 3s sounded better than the APM. I actually liked the VModas sound once I EQed them but other than that this review is on point.
2:17 don't promote animal skin on headphones... 4:40 V-moda offers XL earpads as an option, shouldn't be an option imo if you order from their website but that's just me.
I used vmoda almost 7 years, fell 100 times and is still alive😅

I have the V-Moda M-100 Master's and they just sound amazing. I know they are not wireless but I don't really care if they are wireless or not.
Yeah thats what I have and I think they are the best set they have out right now
M100 master or the wireless 3 plugged in will smoke any if these headphones
I got the v moda m100 master, sennheiser m3 and beyerdynamic 770 and sony xm3. V moda m100 master wins on the sound department 100%

V-Moda should just give up. They've been using the same headphone design for years... Shows a lack of resources to improve.

It's their design DNA. Think Sennheiser Momentum, Bang & Olufsen H series and Sony XM series.
@@williamaungleyraud you can still do that. Why would they remove that brand feature
Their build quality is phenomenal but everything else is lackluster to put it politely.
They’re not even using the dual-diaphragm drivers that made the Crossfade series famous. This seems like a bit of a misfire from V-MODA.
Really!? I didn't know what. Honestly I would just stick with the crossfade. With volume I really don't need anc
@@badomen8262 Crossfade Wireless 2 Codex is a great-sounding headphone, and looks better than the M-200 imo. I would stick to that unless you need ANC.
Aren't these studio monitor headphones? That's majorly different than just ur standard everyday listening. Correct me if I'm wrong.
you should definitely try denon ah-gc30, theyre an audiophile brand but have bassy signature sound
From what you said it sounds like they sound way worse than the V-MODA M100, is that right? If yes people should just leave the M200 (ANC) alone and go for the Crossfades 1, 2, Wireless, Codex Edtion whatever they all sound like the M100.

Wow, on a set of studio monitors your first minute 15 intro sounds extremely muffled. Highly compressed. I want to change that up. Especially since you’re reviewing headphones and people are looking for clarity. Just a thought.
Quality of VModa headphones have gone down considerably, M100, a wired pair of headphones were the last good one they made.
I have been using my M100s daily for 8+ hours a day for almost 8 years. They just won't die.
Put the sound quality at first so we don't have to watch the rest of the video
Returned my set. Huge letdown. The ANC was better on my free Galaxy Buds Pro that came with my phone.
