I upgraded to the 100 Masters from my 10 year on Sennheisers. Before my purchase, I went through tons of research and actual comparisons and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase especially for the price.
In the end, it was between these and the Pioneer X10s and the M-100s were substationally better. The x10s were all highs with no bass. Not my favourite at all and were much more expensive. I use headphones primarily for DJing and also for regular listening. The V Modas have a rich baseline but not over the top with crisp mids and highs. They’re honestly perfect and I can’t imagine anything better at this price range. Comfort is great but I do wear glasses and they do squeeze abit more than I like. If you don’t wear glasses then these are awesome in the comfort category. Get these and stop your search.
Nutshell, is that I have gone through several sets of headphones for my DJ gigs, but always balked at the price of the Vmoda. They work perfectly, have enough power and clarity that I can hear my mixes and previews even in the middle of a dance at full volume. I do a lot of school dances so I need to be able to hear and censor some songs live, other headsets just were not up to the task. With these, I can hear every word, every nuance of the music.
I gave it 5* for noise cancelling for that reason. Call it ‘passive noise cancelling’.
They’re comfortable enough that I can wear them all night, and flexible enough that I can pull one off my ears and rest it on my head to hear the house mix. Just about the only gripe I have with these, is that they require twist lock pins for the wiring, so if you lose your cord you’ll need to get a compatible cord or if you’re in a pinch may need to shave down an existing one to fit.
Brilliant sound quality, comfortable to use even for a long period, and it looks stunning.
Metto prima le poche cose negative che ho potuto riscontrare:
Hanno qualche possibilit in meno di movimentarle come alcuni altri marchi, non c’ il cavo spiralato in dotazione (acquistabile a parte). Che un prodotto Premium lo si nota subito dalla scatola, i padiglioni sono morbidissimi, in confezione troviamo una custodia a conchiglia con cerniera protetta da pioggia, all’interno le cuffie ripiegate e due robusti cavi uno con microfono e l’altro sdoppiato per mixer consente l’attacco di un’altra cuffia, avendo impedenza a 32 ohm sono adatte a sia per uso con mixer e amplificatori, sia con smartphone, lettori audio, portatili e Tablet senza perdere le loro propriet audio
Le cuffie sono personalizzabili, hanno 2 anni di garanzia e sono abbastanza leggere rispetto la concorrenza nonostante siano di metallo
L’audio eccezionale e molto bilanciato le definirei neutre ma ho potuto confrontarle solo con le altre che possiedo di marca Pioneer che hanno le basse un po’ pi accentuate
Per le sue qualit audio nonostante dinamiche chiuse le trovo valide anche per produzione
Sono solo un po’ meno snodate per un uso live djing ma ci si abitua presto e il rapporto qualit prezzo ottimo confrontando le prestazioni simili di altre marche, la possibilit di personalizzarle poi le rende uniche
evidentemente tu sei abituato a sentire la musica da you tube con mp3 a 128 kpbs …..sei totalmente un incompetente di musica. sai cosa la musica HI-RES??? sicuramente no. per te troppa roba. queste cuffie V-moda 100 master sono considerate da me in primis, tecnico del suono da 30 anni di molti artisti italiani, ma da molte riviste specializzate fra le top 5 delle migliori cuffie : I padiglioni in pelle Pu 100% vegan e con tecnologia memory foam, assicurano il giusto comfort e un buon isolamento acustico passivo. Degna di nota la possibilit di personalizzare i copri-padiglioni con stampe a colori o incisioni laser e puoi addirittura optare per copri-padiglioni in platino o in oro 24 carati.
Con un driver a doppio diaframma da 50 mm con bobine CCAW giapponesi, queste cuffie V-Moda sono state certificate per l’audio Hi-Res e ti garantiranno un suono completo, bassi profondi e frequenze medie e alte chiare e cristalline.
Ich muss ehrlich gestehen, dass mein breit gefcherter Musikgeschmack es mir immer etwas schwierig gemacht hat, Kopfhrer zu finden die sich erstens bezahlen lassen und trotzdem mit einem breiten Musikgeschmack sauber und krftig klingen.
Eines vorweg : Diesen Kopfhrern ist es egal ob Mozart oder Kollegah luft. Der Sound ist glasklar. Der Bass ist hervorragend, przise und “bersteuert” nicht. Auch die Hhen sind ausgezeichnet abgebildet werden aber im Gegensatz zu so manchem Sennheiser nicht zu stark in den Vordergrund gestellt.Die maximale Lautstrke knnte meiner Meinung nach noch ein kleeeeein wenig hher sein…aber ich denke mal dass dann permanente Hrschden nicht auszuschlieen wren.
Wer einfach nur Musik hren, oder Filme schauen oder auch beim Zocken wundervollen Stereosound haben will, der wird mit diesen Kopfhrern mehr als glcklich !
He probado de todo (s tengo un vico por audfonos jaja), pero bueno tampoco voy a escribir diciendo que son mejores que unos Sennheiser 600 S Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro (tengo ambos) correctamente amplificados a travs deun DAC + Amp combo. Porque no, no suenan mejor que esos dos audfonos reference.
Pero tengo que decir que pese a eso disfruto muchsimo su sound signature, sobre todos los bajos potentes y controlados, en general los audfonos manejan muy bien la frecuencias. Lo ms parecido por abajo seran los Sony MD7506 Audio Technica M40X (no soy muy fan de los M50X, los M40X como muchos dicen, son mucho mejores especialmente con unos Wicked Cushions Velour pads). Pero vaya los bajos, es lo que me hizo regresar a la marca como los disfruto para ver pelculas y series.
Su mayor PRO sera que NO necesitan DAC/AMP para sonar bien. Eso es cierto desde mis primeros V-Moda, eso es algo ninguno de los audfonos que mencion arriba puede decir. Todos requieren DAC/AMP para sonar adecuadamente, no as los V-Moda.
Love
Sound Quality 5 star , Build Quality 5 star , Packaging 5 star
Hate
As someone who loves to mix , hours at a time , I find myself constantly adjusting them as they become uncomfortable over time and I imagine as they get worn they will become more uncomfortable.
Questioning
These headphones cost almost 400 Cad and don’t even come with a spare set of earphone pads. yet my Hyper x headphones which cost 3 times less came with a spare set. I think for that price that should have been a no brainer.
SEGUNDA OPININ:
Tras ms tiempo de prueba he de reconocer que mi primera opinin ha sido un poco precipitada. Y creo conveniente matizar algunas cosas.
Con respecto a la falta de graves, esta no existe. Si le das la ecualizacin que necesita aparecen los bajos, y adems muy bien definidos. Se oye el bombo perfectamente, y se pueden conseguir graves no pastosos.
Le haba dado 4 estrellas pero ahora le doy 5. Se oyen genial, con claridad y contundencia. Eso s, son tan buenos que como la fuente de audio sea cutre, sonar cutre.
Estoy muy contento con la compra, y los recomiendo sin duda.
PRIMERA OPININ:
Los cascos son buenos, se ven bien acabados, tienen un sonido claro, pesan y ocupan poco.
A m me dejaron un poco fro ya que esperaba que fueran ms contundentes. Al menos para escuchar Rock, Blues y estos tipos de msica se quedan cortos.
Si te gusta or el bombo y los graves profundos estos no son tus auriculares.
Probados en un equipo HIFI por mdulos, y en el FIIO M3 PRO.
No los volvera a comprar.
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.
Muy contenta, cuando cojes el producto te ds cuenta que son unos auriculares premium.
El nivel de agudos y graves es perfecto ya que no se come los medios, la calidad del sonido es espectacular ya que un exceso de graves podria llegar a distorsionar el sonido pero de esta forma el sonido es muy limpio.
El embalaje es muy bonito con una caja con un precinto de garanta y trae una funda redonda con dos cables.
El cable naranja incorpora un micro que no esta mal.
Las espumas de los auriculares son un poco pequeas, seria recomendable unas un poco ms grandes dependiendo de la persona. El tamao es de unos 6cm de largo y 3,5cm de ancho.
La diadema es muy comoda y por fuera tiene inscrito el logo de la marca.
Muy recomendables.
Dopo anni di utilizzo delle mia vecchie Beats Mixr, ho deciso di acquistare queste V-Moda e confermo la loro qualit top sia per quanto riguarda i materiali che a livello di prestazioni. Le utilizzo principalmente per l’attivit di Dj ed in disco, con i volumi alti, offrono un buon isolamento. Hanno una risposta in frequenza fantastica che mi permette di utilizzarle anche in studio per produrre, mixare e masterizzare tracce. Utilizzo a 360 gradi. Non sono pesanti il che permette di indossarle per molte ore senza avere troppo fastidio alle orecchie.
Ich hab ber die letzten 2 Jahre gefhlt 5 unterschiedliche Kopfhrer allermglichen Preisklassen ausprobiert und keiner konnte mich so wirklich 100% zufrieden stellen. Ich hatte damals nur Sony’s benutzt wie z.b. ein lterer highend MDR und auch ein XB700 aber da Sony, meiner Meinung nach, die letzten Jahre echt nur noch Grtze rausbringt, mich nach einer neuen Marke umgeschaut. Hier mal ein kurzer Abriss dessen.
AT-M50X: Toller look aber klanglich absolut nicht meins. Definitiv kein Spahrer und so ein merkwrdiger on und around ear Mix. Absolut nicht meins. Keine Ahnung warum so viele den feiern.
Teufel Massive: Ach du… Also der war ja echt ein riesiger Griff ins Klo. Bass hat er, aber VIEL zu VIEL und hrt sich an wie in einer dumpfen Badewanne. Und auch der ist wieder so ein merkwrdiger on und around ear Mix. Vielleicht sind meine Ohren einfach zu gro aber bezweifel ich. NEXT…
Sennheier HD 58X: Oh wow, also den LIEBE ich. Toller rumlicher Klang und perfekt fr Filme, Videospiele und Soundtracks. Aber ist leider open back und ich hre meine Elektronische Musik lieber mit closed und viel Bass. Ich habe den aber wohlgemerkt behalten und nutze ihn immer noch am PC! Absolut super, nur nicht fr mich was Musik angeht. Also die Musik Kopfhrer Suche geht weiter.
Beyerdynamic Custome One Pro: Hm. Also der gefllt mir bis jetzt am besten was Musik angeht. Der dynamische Bass Regler ist genial. Auch Komfort und Design ist einfach toll. Es gibt da nur ein Ding… Irgendwie gefallen mir die Hhen nicht so wirklich. Vielleicht ist das der “Beyer Peak” aber finde ich zu extrem und nervend… Man gewhnt sich zwar etwas dran aber gerade bei Soundtracks oder Orchestral Zeugs finde ich es anstrengend. Ist wohl doch nicht 100% meins. Hab den aber auch behalten weil mir der Bassregler und Klang allgemein zusagt. Tja aber auch der ist nicht perfekt. Bin vielleicht einfach zu picky… Bereits nach einem Jahr ist wohl die rechte Membran hin da der bei Tiefenbass flattert… Zum Glck ist Garantie drauf, macht aber keinen wirklich wertigen Eindruck.
Und jetzt kommen wir zu den M-100 Master von V-Moda. Ich wollte mir die schon lnger mal gnnen und ausprobieren aber preislich waren die halt echt nicht ohne, mal abgesehen davon, dass ich auch XL Polster brauche. Naja was solls… Gnnt man sich dann mal.
Und wow, was soll ich sagen… PERFEKT. Der Klang gefllt mir super! Starker aber nicht extremer und nervttender Bass welche auch SEHR tief geht und Details offenbart die ich bis dato nie bemerkt habe. Und dazu sind die Mitten und Hhen fr mich sehr gut ausbalanciert ohne das irgendwas zu schwach oder zu stark wirkt. Allgemein wrde ich den persnlich als relativ Neutral bezeichnen aber mit kleiner Emphasis auf Bass aber nicht zu viel. Also fr meine Elektronische Musik einfach perfekt! Auch Rap, Rock, Metal und Soundtracks funktionieren aber echt gut mit dem, auch wenn ich bei Soundtracks mit klassischen Instrumenten und viel hhen dann doch eher zu meinem Sennheier HD 58X Open Back greife einfach weil die Musik da freier und rumlicher klingt. Aber was Musik allgemein und vor allem Techno, EDM, Industrial, Trance, etc angeht, sind die M-100 Master unschlagbar und eine wahre wonne.
Einen kleinen Abstrich mache ich dann aber beim Komfort. Dieser ist zwar gut aber nicht perfekt und gerade Leute mit groen Ohren oder Kopf werden definitiv keinen Spa an dem Hrer haben. Meine Kopf gre ist leicht berdurchschnittlich und ich muss den komplett aufs maximale Auseinanderziehen um die richtige Lnge zu haben. Definitiv die kleinsten Bgel von allen bisher getesteten Kopfhrern. Geht zwar in meinem Fall gerade so noch aber alle mit groem Kopf sollten definitiv dem Hrer fern bleiben da sonst der Bgel zu sehr drckt. Die Ohrpolster sind mit den Standard gelieferten auch VIEL zu klein und erinnern an on the go 50 Euro Kopfhrer. Drckt definitiv an den Ohren und ist fr mehrere Stunden nicht geeignet. Die XL Pads beheben das und meine Ohren passen genau drunter ohne zu drcken. Bei 200 Euro wrde ich eigentlich erwarten, dass die XL Pads Standard sind aber naja… Der Wechsel der Pads ist kinderleicht. VORSICHT: Es gibt hier auf Amazon fake Hndler die keine richtigen offizielen XL Pads verkaufen! Einige Leute beschweren sich in den Reviews darber, dass die XL Pads genauso gro sind aber das sind sie nicht! Der Unterschied ich merkbar. Ich habe mir die offizielen V-Moda Pads geholt, nicht die billigen China alternativen.
Sound: 9.5/10
Komfort: 7/10 (9/10 mit XL Pads)
Verpackung und Zubehr 9/10 (Htten Standardmig XL Pads in der Master Variante haben sollen)
Super happy mit den Kopfhrern. Kann ich nur empfehlen, es sei denn man hat einen groen Kopf oder Ohren.
Super Klang, besonders zum vorhren neuer tracks, da merkt man deutlich das noise isolating
Noch nie so gut Kopfhrer gehabt.
Angefangen von den tiefen Frequenzen bis hin zu den hohen Frequenzen decken die V-Moda alles perfekt, ohne einma ein rauschen von sich zu geben ab.
So ein glasklarer Klang das die Hlfte genug wre.
Wahnsinnig gute Qualitt.
My first pair of v-moda headphones was the m100 crossfade. They lasted five years before showing signs they needed to be replaced. So I bought the m100 master and so far they are just like the crossfade. Altough the first thing I noticed is these are super uncomfortable. Less comfortable than the crossfade. It’s not acceptable for V-moda to charge $250 and make the ear cups so unbearable. I am constantly adjusting these on my head to try and find a spot they don’t hurt my ears. They also aren’t deep enough, so your ears will most likely touch the inside of the ear cup. If you want to buy these, expect to pay more for the better ear pads.
This is a great product, I was a little hesitant buying them because 200 pounds its quite a lot of money for me but I’ve wanted a quality set of headphones for a while so I treated myself. As soon as I looked at the box I felt like I was looking at quality, beautiful packaging and it comes with a 2 year warrantee from the manufacturer if you sign up for it on the V-MODA website. I was a little worried that I wouldn’t get this because I didn’t order it from their website but was pleasantly surprised to find that I do. The sound is great, they are very sturdy. Would recommend to anyone considering this product.
Leute, der Sound is super!
Fr DJs einfach genial oder auch nur am Computer (vorausgesetzt ihr habt einen guten DAC natrlich)
Aber wenn ihr euch die Dinger holt, dann braucht ihr UNBEDINGT die XL Ohrpolster.
Ich kann euch sagen, dass ich schon echt kleine Ohren hab und trotzdem sind mir die normalen Polster zu klein, das hat echt nichts mit Over-Ear mehr zu tun daher auch rin Stern abzug.
Ansonsten sind das echt geile Bchsen.
Falls sie auch nur annhernd wie die ersten m100s sind dann braucht man auch eine schraubensicherung bei den 8 schrauben die alles zusammenhalten aber das werde ich erst nach paar Monaten Nutzung sehen knnen.
Aber im Groen und Ganzen empfehlenswerte Kopfhrer.
Ho regalato queste cuffie per il mio ragazzo che fa il Dj! Ne rimasto molto soddisfatto, prodotto di altissima qualita! Consiglio a tutti
Amazing set of cans. People say these are for bass heads but I couldn’t disagree more. Yes they do have amazing bass but it’s not like having a 15″ sub in your trunk. Couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase. I do a lot of recording within my home studio and am an avid gamer as well. Noise isolation is decent with the stock pads but I HIGHLY recommend going with the replacement pads by AHG. Sound quality is really good. I’ve owned my fair share of cans from audio technical to senheisser and these hands down are by far my favorite. Whether I’m in the studio tracking ( I mix with my LP6s ) making beats, watching a movie or enjoying a gaming session, these headphones give me the immersion that the others were always lacking. The bass is spot on giving you a nice FULL sound whatever your doing without being to overpowering. The build quality….. honestly…… I have yet to own a pair of headphones that are as well built as these while still retaining comfort for the user. Solid solid SOLID construction. Great job V-Moda on an amazing set of cans!!! Highly Recommended for anyone that does studio work ( hip hop, edm, rock ) is in to gaming or anyone that just wants an amazing headphones with amazing build quality that will truly immerse you into whatever your doing with a rich full sound.
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’ve bought these headphones for Dj-ing purposes, which I’m quite satisfied with. It’s not an audiophile pair of headphones, but the sound what you get is excellent! For me, the bass is bit too harsh, which fades a bit the mids a bit, but for Dj-ing it’s perfect!
These headphones are amazing! Best headphones I’ve ever had!! Very comfortable and brilliant sound quality
Hat einen Klasse Sound, ist fr Gaming und auch fr’s Djing / Musikhren bestens geeignet.
vengo de unos M100 anteriores, usandolos a diario todo el da, desde 2016. una maravilla, decid comprar estos para ver, ya que en estos aos he probado un monton de marcas y siempre caigo en V-Moda, son los mejores, tienen un sonido y una calidad de construccin que no se iguala con nada.
War lange auf der Suche nach einen anstndigen Kopfhrer fr das E-Drumming als auch zum tglichen Gebrauch. Bin mit dem Sound des Kopfhrers sehr zufrieden. Ist schn Bass betont und die Hhen sind auch sehr prsent, aber fein abgestimmt. Insgesamt also ein warmer Klang. Durch die Lautstrke mit 32 Ohm und einer Empfindlichkeit von 107 dB eignet sich der Kopfhrer auch perfekt fr das Smartphone. Zum Tragekomfort; Er sitzt schon relativ fest am Kopf. Fr mich ist das jedoch kein Problem bzw. finde es nicht strend.
L’tui fourni est rigide, de dimension tout fait raisonnables, ce qui est ABSOLUMENT INDISPENSABLE pour ceux qui se dplacent avec tous les jours. Le premier fil, orange, a un micro et un bouton multifonction. Le bouton n’est pas trs solide… 2me 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 dbrancher votre casque volont. 6mm vers 3.5mm fourni, je n’en ai pas l’usage. Le casque a deux prises jack. Vous pouvez Brancher un deuxime casque en srie donc, mais aussi utiliser les deux comme entres. Des bouchons en plastique sont fournis pour boucher les prises jack lorsque rien n’est branch, afin d’viter l’entre de grains de poussire. Trs bon package donc, l’exeption du bouton multifonctions sur le fil.
Egalement, V-Moda vend sparment un fil avec un micro (type casque gamer) dont j’ai entendu de trs bons retours.
Venant d’un casque bluetooth sennheiser, je ne regrette pas d’tre repass en filaire, bien plus pratique, condition bien sr d’avoir une prise jack sur son tlphone. 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 sparment par V-Moda, mais si vous avez de grandes oreilles n’hsitez 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 rduction de bruit active, l’isolation phonique passive est correcte. vous de juger si a vous est indispensable.
Los compr para sustituir a mis venerados HD25-II, por lo que os voy a dar mi feedback comparando ambos.
Hablando del audio puramente, son superiores claramente, en cuanto los pones notas que mejoran en frecuencias medias y altas a los HD25, con ms escena y amplitud. No obstante, tienen una serie de defectos que han hecho que solo los use en determinadas circunstancias, el resto del tiempo, sigo usando los HD25.
Soy corpulento y tengo una cabeza acorde, lo cual ha provocado que use los V-MODA con toda la horquilla extendida e incluso tener que comprar las almohadillas XL (totalmente recomendables!) para ganar algunos milimetros y que finalmente me los pueda poner con comodidad, no obstante, lejos del ajuste desde el minuto 1 que me dieron los HD25.
Pesan bastante ms que los HD25, en cuanto te acercas a la hora de uso, ya molestan y tienes que reajustarlos sobre la cabeza.
La presentacin es inmejorable y se ven de mucha calidad, me sorprendi positivamente pues los HD25 son de plstico y de aspecto ms “pobre” (la realidad es que esto ltimo los hace casi irrompibles). Esperaba que aislaran ms esos s, ah me sorprendieron negativamente. Los HD25 son muy superiores en este aspecto.
Estoy contento con la compra pero no los veo para tenerlos colgados del cuello todo el da. Yo teletrabajando no tengo duda de cual usar (ligereza y aislamiento) pero cuando escucho en el sof algo de “calidad” que requiera de ese punto de detalle que los HD25 no tienen, ah es donde los V-MODA sacan msculo y te provocan la sonrisa. En este rango de precio, yo que escucho electrnica, metal, hip-hop,… no veo una compra mejor.
This Vmoda M100 Master is it! Beyond the bass, it provides that inexplicable energy that you want to hear from EDM.
The Beyerdynamic, AKG, and Sennheiser headsets in our stable have other uses and I still have not obtained the “endgame” headphone. But I will have to look no further when listening to electronic music.
BTW – the Vmoda site is great about providing replacement earpads and cables for older gear and for customizing options.
Besser geht es nicht. Verkufer hat meine Frage sofort beantwortet, weshalb ich mich auch gleich fr einen Kauf entscheiden habe. Die Kopfhrer sind recht schnell geliefert worden und waren auch original Verpackt mit Seriennummer.
Die Kopfhrer selber sind der Hammer. Der Klang ist perfekt und sie sitzen perfekt. Ein angenehmes Tragegefhl.
Ich werde jederzeit wieder hier bestellen.
Vielen Dank
Sound is great as is the built quality. Noise isolation in my view is good, maybe not as great as Bose QC35, but still good enough. My only complaint is that the standard cushions are not very comfortable at the beginning. Within 20-30 minutes of use, I would feel a discomfort. They gradually molded around the shape of my head and I can now use the headphones at hours at a time. V-Moda also makes extra large cushions which I intent to try out.
Overall, after 1 month of ownership and almost daily use, I am very satisfied with the headphones.
Well built headphones! they seem they’ll last for a long time. They look nice like some kind of lambos headphones.
Sound quality is very good but in some kinds of music it isn’t. Still I would recommend them as they are actually worth it.
Zeer goede hoofdtelefoon kwa prijs/kwaliteit! Ik heb er verschillende getest en deze was voor mij de beste. Zeer goede bas en zeer helder geluid.
Sar breve e conciso:
– Qualit del suono: ottima ma non perfetta (un pelo inferiore alle qc35 ii per intenderci)
– Isolamento attivo: non presente, come del resto in (quasi?) tutte le cuffie wired
– Isolamento passivo: nella media
– Comodit: qui il punto dolente, i cuscinetti sono piccoli e le cuffie dure, non sono il massimo della comodit insomma soprattutto se come me portate gli occhiali
I think the headphones are extremely sturdy. The masters have ear cups with holes in them for air, I guess. The sound is fine, but “s’s” are rather sharp and treble could be a bit too tough; which is fine. I use an external DAC and amp anyway. I’m hoping that the sharp trebles disappear after burning the headphones in. If the treble pain goes away, I’ll come back and edit my review and scoring.
Oh yeah, the amazon sold V moda’s? I could not register my product on Vmoda’s website. A technician told me to just hold onto the receipt and everything will be fine.. makes me feel a bit off that the serial numbers don’t register for amazon purchased v moda products.
These are without any shadow of a doubt the best bang-for the buck headphones I’ve ever owned.
– the sound quality is AMAZING. Absolutely on par with Bose
– they are incredibly comfortable – they stay firmly in place but don’t at all grip your head like a vice
– they are built to last. Many metal parts vs. the plastic build of headphones twice the price
– they fold up into a very small but extremely durable carrying case (which I leave clipped to my backpack so I can have these wherever I go)
I’d honestly give them 6 stars if that was an option. There’s nothing at all I would improve on.
Compr estos auriculares en busca de reemplazar unos Sennheiser que ya haban finalizado su plazo de vida. Buscaba un sonido con refuerzo en graves pero sin llegar a tapar el resto de frecuencia.
Estos V-Moda cumplen ms que bien, teniendo unos graves potentes, pero a la vez controlados, y destacan un poco los agudos. A nivel de sonido ya se sabe que es un tema personal en muchos casos.
Un punto que me parece bastante personal es la sensacin de profundidad, el sonido es en general mucho ms envolvente que mis anteriores auriculares, se distinguen bien todos los instrumentos y frecuencias. Cuesta un poco habituarse a este efecto, ya que canciones con instrumentos muy posicionados en estreo ven este efecto multiplicado.
El tamao de las almohadillas no es especialmente grande, pero no he tenido problema con ello. Al llevarlo un poco de tiempo no “aprieta” tanto, aislan perfectamente.
Ahora bien, como puntos negativos, mencionar que la primera unidad tena uno de los agarres del auricular suelto, por lo que solicit un reemplazo (-1 estrella). Tambin la sujeccin da la sensacin de ser algo frgil, ya que por ejemplo el eje al que va cada auricular no es completamente fijo.
Por el momento, contento con la compra
It is a very well built headphone. Sound quality is pretty decent. I have run it for about 40-50 hours ish, bass, treble and mids are pretty balanced. Bass and treble are a bit more than mids but not too over. The only thing I don’t like about the sound is high-mids are too soft, female vocal sounds very far away and weak. It isn’t that comfortable to have it on for hours. The headphone passed on the top of my head so hard, and it’s a little bit pressing on my ears… It would be a good headphone for gaming, movie, and music expect for classic and female vocal song. Btw, drum solo with this headphone is fantastic.

Geniales. Fueron para regalar a mi hermano que estudia produccin musical, y est encantado
Estos V-MODA Crossfade M-100 Master destacan desde el segundo uno por sus graves de fuerte presencia, si bien consiguen que las demas frecuencias no se pierdan entre tanto impacto de bajos. Hacen un gran trabajo resolviendo los medios y agudos pero en ningun momento pueden hacer que pasen mas desapercibidos esos bajos tan potentes que desprenden. Su genero es la musica electronica indiscutiblemente aunque se disfrutan mucho tambien con canciones pop o metal por ejemplo. Los ATH-MSR7B son todo lo contrario, equilibrados, mas detallados en todas las frecuencias, con cierta presencia de graves pero incomparables en este aspecto a los V-MODA. Si te gusta la musica electronica adelante, si escuchas de todo un poco no me iria a por ellos.
Compre los cascos para mi hijo que es DJ por peticin suya claro. Mi hijo los usa para el trabajo de DJ y produccin de msica. Esta muy contento. El estuche viene muy bien para llevrtelos sin que sufran dao alguno.
El pedido llego muy rpido, lo cual se agradece.
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.
Ich hre von Elektro ber Rock bis Klassik so ziemlich alles und bin mit diesen Kopfhrern mehr als zufrieden.
Ich bin auch ein Fan davon, dass KEIN Noice-Cancelling verbaut wurde.
Lediglich die Polster waren fr meine Ohren etwas klein. Deshalb habe ich mir die XL-Polster nachtrglich bestellt. (Ca. 20)
Der Austausch funktionierte Problemlos.
Fr Unterwegs vergebe ich “nur” 4 Sterne da es super wre, wenn sich die Ohrmuscheln rotieren lassen wrden. Fr mich aber kein muss.
Klare Empfehlung!
This is my “Big Boy” in the Media Room. This set gives you superior STUDIO QUALITY crystal clear sound. This is my personal set that I don’t allow anyone else to use if that speaks for anything. I have to say that this oen leaves all of my others (I have many sets) sitting in the dust as far as quality goes and it has never given me a speck of trouble with anything, it has been nothing but perfection for me. So is the price justified? If you are looking for Ultra Premium Quality and reliability then yes it’s justified. I wasn’t real convinced when it first arrived but that first use showed me the difference between mediocre sound and this great set. It’s comfortable to wear and easy to set up, just plug it in and go. As far as quality goes it’s a 5 star item but overall it’s a 4 star item.

If I were rich and didn’t have little kids, I’d be an audiophile. I’m not so I’m always on the lookout for the best sound under $500. I won’t be able to give you comparisons to truly excellent headphones or be able to tell your what they sound like through beautiful systems, but what I can tell you is if you’re listening to these through your laptop, they are the best sound you can get in this price range, and I’ve tested many many. They’re not quite professional studio quality, of which I’ve only sampled two, but they’re close. The detail is great without being too bright and the lows aren’t distorted. The one drawback for me is that they’re not the most comfortable to wear all day. I’ll take that in exchange for this level of sound quality, though. If you’re tight on funds but love good sound, get these.
Compared to some of my favorite studio headphones over the years these compare quite favorably.
The sound quality is very good. Not the absolute best I have heard but for the price they are comparatively great sounding. I do like the compacting folding design. The nice protective storage case. The quality cords and jacks. I find the metal frame and brackets a little hard around the edges and can catch your hair in them at times. They do fit a little tight and are good for a few hours at most for me. Still, I would rank them in my top 5 of all time. If your a V-Moda follower or new to them, they do have a large fan base and following. I can see and hear why. Excellent quality.
I highly recommend the Crossfade OVER-EAR headphones. You can trust V-Moda’s high quality sound reproduction which allows the listener to distinguish all the aspects of the source recording.
I got these for my dad to try because he loves listening to headphones. He doesn’t care for ear buds only over the ear ear phones. I tested then myself. The noise cancellation is fantastic. The music sounds great. Although they’re are si many things you can use these for (such as recording music/singing) For the basic music lover like us every genre of music sounds amazing. You can hear every instrument clearly. It comes with a great case to carry them in so if you drop it it won’t break. It comes with 2 wires one with a mic the other liner and fabric to use listen on a computer and or tablet. These head phones are worth every cent!
I’m familiar with brands such as Audio Technica and usually the ATH-M50X is my go to. The Crossfade I have found out creates an extremely enjoyable pair of headphones to appreciate and or create music with, but in certain situations I find them to be somewhat lackluster.
One of the first things I noticed about these headphones are they’re small and heavy. Unfortunately I have been blessed with a big head so these things are noticeable to me, around 4 to 5 hours of use I begin to feel discomfort.
Aesthetically these headphones are amazing and deliver an extremely sleek design. Sound quality wise these headphones are on par with other headphones within their price-range. I noticed one area in which these headphones stand out is bass oriented songs. Hip hop is the main genre I listen to and everything sounds notably different than other headphones.
Whenever a new album comes out these are typically my go-to headphones, any activity beyond a few hours I’ll usually resort to another pair of headphones.
Overall, if your head is smaller these headphones would be perfect for all activities, if your head is on the larger side, I would look into other options. Quality wise, as I had mentioned before, these headphones are amazing and perform perfectly in studio environments.
Wow they are an awesome headphones, it was looking between Senheisser Momentun, Bose, and Sony, the problem with Bose it the sound que his ANC, it change the soung when we have the ANC off, and after few days i really love this headphones!!! they are warm but clear, they are analitycal but same time warm and enjoyable
I’m not sure if the perfect headphones exist, however these are pretty close. Let me say right off the bat that I am not an audiophile or a sound engineer, so others may have a different opinion. My opinion is coming from your average music listener. I do have a bit of a headphone problem, constantly buying different types in search of the perfect pair, I do have some noise canceling wireless headphones that I’m really happy with. These are wired, so I only use them at my computer for gaming or music while working. I have to say that the clarity of sound through these is pretty amazing and the whole range is represented well, good bass, mids, and treble. I sought out some audiophile test tracks to really put them through their paces and they did not disappoint. Construction is also really great, high quality materials, very comfortable. So yeah, they’re perfect for me, until I find a better pair. 🙂
I am not a gamer but am a former showroom sound engineer and still love playing with audio gear. I am over 50, however, and therefore can’t claim that my hearing is what it used to be. So I enlisted the help of a 16 year with great hearing and a love of music to help with this review.
First, the M-100’s are super comfortable and very musical. They have a pleasing sound and the over-ear design keeps them comfortable for hours. From all appearances, this is a premium product, and the build quality is great. They come with a nice case, two cables, and fold up nicely. I’m not going to focus on these details, however, as the big question is “how do they sound”?
We compared these headphones to a sound system with JBL 4313 studio control room monitors, as well as a pair of Oppo PM-3 closed-back planar magnetic headphones (over the ear, a comparable design), and a pair of Phiaton MS 400 carbon fiber headphones that are described as over-ear but are really on-ear. We used a
Behringer Control 1 headphone amplifier to match levels when doing comparisons. Pricing for the various headphones was Crossfade at the lower end, Phiaton in the middle, and Oppo at the top, although the price difference from top to bottom (when the Oppo was available) was about $150.00.
We started with comparing the headphones to the speakers (we both liked the speakers better), but moved on to headphone comparisons. All sounded good, although the Phiaton dropped out of the running quickly. The on-ear design was less comfortable and it was hard for us to compare that. So, when comparing the Oppo with the Crossfades, the accuracy of the Oppo showed up better. When listening to the bass guitar on Toto’s “I Will Remember”, you could hear the individual notes and the attack on the string; with the Crossfade it sounded like a synthesizer with no attack on the notes. Similarly, you could pick out individual instruments much better on the Oppo; the Crossfade was pleasing but a little muddy and lacked detail.
In an objective test, with 16 year old ears, Matt liked the Crossfades better. To my trained ear, I liked the Oppo. However, when we did A/B blind comparisons, the Oppo won every time. Keep in mind these (Oppo) are exceptional headphones and known for detail and accuracy. The Crossfades were no slouches; very comfortable and pleasing, and if you’re looking for a “musical” pair of headphones with some coloration and a little loss of detail, look no further. If you want accuracy, there are some excellent alternatives in this price range you might want to audition as well. These are good for the money, but a little more money can get you a lot more accuracy.
These Crossfade M-100 Master Over-Ear Headphones were actually recommended to me by a fellow audiophile. While I’m no expert, I still love great quality sound, and I’m finicky about my headphones. I have a couple of sets of favs as far as wireless Bluetooth headphones go, but I haven’t really given more expensive, wired ones a big enough shot. When these came up for a chance to check them out and review them, I jumped at the chance.
And wow, I’m glad I did. The quality of the sound and the ranges of this set are amazing! Not only that, but you can REALLY hear ALL the details – whether you’re listening to music or using these for other things. There is a night and day difference from these to just about any other over the ear headphone set I’ve used before – and boy, have I used a TON of them! Everything is crisp and clear – like turning up a dial of pure clarity, for lack of a better term.
Listening to any kind of music – old or new – is a treat while using these, thanks to the incredible sound quality. Wow. WOW. Wow!
Not only that, but the ear cushions are well-crafted and very comfortable, even when you are wearing them for hours on end. Not that I’ve been doing that ever since I put these on or anything….;)
I’m going to have to rank these as my new fav now – if not my all-time favorites, then a very close contender with another $300+ pair of incredible wireless Bluetooth headphones that I own that I can’t get enough of…and that’s pretty hard to do. I thought I would be annoyed with these being wired…but it’s not all that bad…I’m just spoiled a little. That said, the quality more than makes up for that in spades, and that says a lot coming from picky ol’ me.
Overall, this is just something where I can’t imagine someone not being impressed with these. Sound quality is exquisite, and I’m shocked that I can hear details in stuff I never knew was there before in some things I’ve been listening to recently, which just makes the experience that much cooler and more fascinating. These are just plain ol’ awesome – two thumbs up from me!
Likes:
– Sound: frequency response curve. Sounds nice and flat with very low lows and high highs.
– Clarity. These put out remarkable separation and clarity which expose all the parts of your mix. Nothing can hide from these headphones, you hear it all. Thumping bass playing at the same time as some delicate upper mids does not mud or mix up the sound. You can still hear the different parts clearly even under high volumes.
– Comfortable. Lightweight and very nice cushions make extended wear no problem.
– Foldable into great included case. To protect your investment. The case even has optional air vents so they won’t get moldy if you store them after a sweaty show.
– Good isolation. These are pretty aggressive at isolating sound, cutting outside noise by a pretty large amount.
– Includes multiple cables.
– Compatible with smart phones (mic and button in cable).. in case you want to use the good headphones with your mobile.
– Value. Lower price than the predecessor yet these seem to be improved a bit. Now that Roland owns v-moda they’ve produced professional class headphones at a lower price. Roland has amazing sound tech so I’m glad to see these two companies join and work on the same headphones.
Dislikes:
– No complaints so far. These are a joy to use. Will update review if I hit any issues in the future.
Caveats:
– These are designed for monitoring. The bass is not boosted to make music sound “better” because audio engineers/ producers need a very plain, even response curve where the different frequencies (from low bass to high cymbals) all get the same amount of volume and clarity. Monitor speakers and headphones may sound “flat” or “plain” compared to consumer speakers and headphones. This is by design. As a listener, it allows you to hear music as the artists / producers intended. It may take some getting used to but IMO is the only way to listen to music.
This has excellent, very flat sound quality, an easy way to fold up into an included case, and a couple of options for braided cables. One of the cable options adds a second jack so a friend can plug their earbuds (or headphones) into the same sound source. The sound detail on these is incredible – it really highlights the difference between poorly-mastered and carefully-crafted music. They are comfortable, too, though my ears tend to get hot after a while with full surround cans like these. The only negative is that there isn’t a wireless option. These are wired, period.
I recently had the opportunity to get a V-MODA Crossfade M-100 Master headphone free in exchange for my review so I thought, why not? When I first opened the box I was surprised by how small the case is. It’s very compact and relatively light. Upon inspection of the headphone I found the build quality to be very good, materials used are good and the headphone looks very durable. This headphone is designed to be transported and it should hold up quite well.
I had never heard a V-MODA headphone before and wasn’t expecting much. After all, my everyday headphones cost many times more. I thought I’d listen to it for 15 to 20 minutes and stick it back into the box. Boy, was I wrong. Right out of the box the sound really impressed me. This is not a neutral headphone. The sound signature is slightly V shaped and biased toward the lower mid-range and bass frequencies which gives it a very robust and well-rounded sound without being muddy or boomy. It also has fairly good bass extension. The highs are also very good and have good clarity and sparkle. What impressed me was how airy the highs are for a closed back headphone. At times, even delicate. Very impressive. The center of the mid-range frequencies could be a little stronger but that would affect the overall tuning so maybe not a good idea. The soundstage isn’t as good as open back headphones but it’s good for a closed back headphone and quite acceptable. Sound isolation is about as good as it can be for a headphone without active noise cancellation. It’s very enjoyable to listen to for extended periods of time. My sound quality assessment was conducted using an iFi Micro-iDSD Black Label portable amp/DAC and a Burson Audio HA160 amp with Ustars AK4497 DAC playing FLAC and DSD files.
I’m not saying that the Crossfade M-100 Master sounds better than or as good as the HiFiMan Ananda or the Sennheiser HD800S. It doesn’t; but we’re talking about a different class of headphones. What I am saying is that spending $250 on the Crossfade M-100 Master will put you ahead of the game and you probably won’t find better sounding headphones for less than $500, let alone a portable headphone. I can honestly say that these are the best sounding portable headphones I’ve heard. Better than my Sennheiser PXC550 and easily better than the Bose QC 25 & 35. If you don’t need active noise cancellation, get the Crossfade M-100 Master. That’s my opinion, which is purely subjective. If at all possible, try before you buy.
Headphones like the V-MODA Crossfade M-100 Master and the HiFiMan HE5se are good examples of the 80/20 rule. You’ll pay 20% of the cost for 80% of the sound and 80% of the cost for the remaining 20% of the sound. The Ananda costs 4 times more than the Crossfade M-100 Master and the HD800S costs nearly 7 times more. By no means are they 4 and 7 times better sounding. They are incrementally better.
Your source and amplifier will affect sound quality. When I listened to the Crossfade M-100 Master using my Galaxy S10 cellphone, the sound was somewhat anemic and hollow. When I listened to the headphone with my Burson Audio HA160 amp, the sound quality was so improved that it sounded like a different headphone. A cellphone cannot do this headphone justice. If you must use this headphone with a cellphone you should use a portable DAC/amp for better sound quality. Especially if you’re listening to hi-res music. I connected my Galaxy S10 to a Fiio E17k Alpen 2 portable DAC/amp and the sound was much improved. Not as good as when connected to the Burson Audio HA160 but much better than the Galaxy S10 without the Fiio.
The only negatives I experienced with this headphone is that the stock ear cushions are small and they get warm after a while. I will try V-MODA’s XL ear cushions to see if there’s an improvement in comfort. I have not tried using the headphone to make/receive phone calls.
I give the V-MODA Crossfade M-100 Master 4 and a half stars, rounded up to 5.
UPDATED 8/26/19: I received the XL ear cushions a couple of days ago and have been using them since. They were fairly easy to install but the tricky part it the removal of the old cushions. I used a hard nylon pry tool for opening cell phones and other electronics to separate the old cushions from the ear cup housing. The new cushions are easy to snap into place but be mindful of it’s orientation in the ear cup. There is a top and bottom. The XL cushions are a real blessing for me because the comfort level of the Crossfade M-100 Master went way up. My ear fits into the XL cushions whereas the stock cushions sat partially on my ear. Over heating is not so much of a problem with the XL cup as long as I’m in a relatively cool environment. Sound quality is unchanged. I give the XL cushions 5 stars.
One other thing I should note and that is the sound quality when the Crossfade M-100 Master is used with a DAP. I listened to the headphone on my old AK70 and it sounded great. Almost as good as on my HA160 amp. I was quite surprised but I guess the AK70 has a better DAC than my cell phone and a lot more power. That means I can travel with my AK70 or AK300 DACs without the need for a portable headphone amp. Fantastic!
Incredibilmente soddisfatto al primo ascolto.
La cosa che apprezzo di pi, la percezione e tridimensionalit del suono, il dettaglio di tutti gli strumenti e riverberi ben separati, anche a volumi bassissimi!!!
Un mega WOW!!!!
Ho finalmente trovato quello che cercavo da anni….
Upon opening the box, I could tell that these were pricey consumer-grade headphones from the look and feel of the materials used. Lots of metal, with smooth paint free of imperfections. Most non-metallic surfaces are wrapped in a delicately soft imitation leather material. Briefly describing the sound quality, I would call it crisp and clear with a wide range.
Putting these up against Sony’s WH-XB700 headphones, these provide notable clearer sound, which allows for more of the light details in music to come through. They can’t compare to the heavy bass of the WH-XB700, but that is what Sony designed those headphones for. That said, these provide good bass at levels the studio intended. Unless I’m looking to blast the bass, these are my top choice every time.
And for gaming, I have put these up against CORSAIR’s Void PRO. While the Void PRO has the advantage of digital USB connectivity for true surround playback, they once again cannot compete with the clarity of M-100. Paired with virtual surround sound software (I use Razer Surround), these outperform the Void PRO.
Overall, these are one of the clearest headsets I have used. They cost more than each of the headsets I compared them against, but they demonstrated their value by outperforming each in sound quality, for two very different applications. If this is what you’re looking for in a headset, I would definitely consider these in your search.
But that’s JustMe.
let a few people from work try them and they were blown away with the audio quality
even has someone compare them to there beats that these sounded WAY better
I listen to a wide variety of music but so far this things are AWESOME
She’s been wearing these and loves them.
She also Just use them while she was mowing the grass. She said she could barely even hear the lawnmower. She said it’s great quality no crackling or anything like that. We already had an adapter to go with her iPhone XR.
Now, I don’t have to lose my mind when I get to the gym just to find out that I don’t have my headphones in my truck. She now has her own she can use.
A few years has passed and the drivers in the M100s have evolved. There seems to be a much cleaner and balanced sound overall. The bass has been slightly reduced, but not enough for you to really notice without listening back to back with the original. It just seems like it’s faster and tighter, which adds to the texture and responsiveness of the headphone. The mids and highs are a touch smoother with more articulation as well. The sound stage seems to be the same to me. So it really is just an evolution of the M100 sound…just refined V-MODA goodness.
The only real downside to them is the fit…for me, the ear pads were too shallow and too narrow (even with the XL pads). So I was hoping that the Master version would fix that issue. They tried, and mostly got it right, but they are still a touch too narrow for prolonged use. I can listen for about an hour to an hour and a half before my ears need a break. If I could give 4.5 stars, that’s what I would rate the Masters.
I just wonder where V-MODA goes next given that Roland owns them completely. Are they even going to exist in 2020?
