I went through 4 cables, before I went through a single problem with the headset itself.
It’s a little too heavy on the bass for me, as is reflected on the frequency response graphs, but it doesn’t sound muddy, and the high end is relatively clear considering. blocks sound VERY well, considering it’s purely passive.
Cups are a little small, so make sure that you don’t have very large ears if you want a 10/10 experience.
bluetooth and cable connections are both very good, though, if you only have the right ear on in bluetooth, clear dust from the 3.5mm jack, and cycle the cable a few times, makes it work again.
Reason for 4/5 stars: They get warm in the summer. Very warm. Would strongly recommend use in winter, less so in summer. Audio quality is the rest of it. good, but not great. you pay for bass and durability, here.
Son muy buenos estos auriculares, lo nico extra es comprar las almohadillas XXL porque las que vienen por defecto no son cmodas, creo que para personas que tengas orejas pequeas les va estupendo. De resto el producto es perfecto, el sonido es de una excelente calidad y los materiales con los que est hecho el producto son resistentes y dan una comodidad espectacular y no pesa para nada el producto.
Simply put this set of headphones just does everything, good design, good sound quality, good sound balance and good options for both wireless and wired listening.
But it is expensive and there are other comparable headphones on the market, be wise and shop smart. These headphones might suit me but they might not suit you.
Me llegaron antes de tiempo, estn super padres y en sonido WOW.
Amazing set of headphones, light comfy and the sound is amazing, balanced crisp clean and clear. Base is perfect, definitely worth the money, the only down side is the rest of the family want a set now!
I was after a sturdy pair of Bluetooth headphones and after a few months I was not disappointed. I gave it 4 stars because:
1)The sound quality is good but not the best. I find the minimum sound level to be higher then I hoped, with the good sound insulation I was hoping to be able to have a lower in ear sound.
2) they came without clear instructions and although most commands are intuitive there are a few things I had to research online to figure out. Shame as the packaging is awesome.
3)Being very sturdy they are also quite heavy to keep using for long hours especially as I wear glasses.
I would still recommend this pair as it fits my lifestyle plus they look good.
I purchased this headphones simply because I needed something stronger and long lasting given that I have accidentally broken at least four of the regular ones between mid 2020 to now.
I totally love these headphones! They are strong, classy, the casing is impressive and most importantly they are just right regarding the purchase objective. So now I’m a super Mom with fantastic looking headphones that my kids nor I could break and I could work smoothly as well as enjoy the luxury of leisure listening after hours.
These are the finest headphones you will ever buy. Play women singing nicely, like Katie melua or jasmine Thompson or Dubstep and these will always be the winner of any test.
These headphones are NOT waterproof. Either protect the 3 way power function pairing switch or have 1 set of v moda headphones and 3 that only work via a 3.5mm jack cable.
The only way to understand these headphones is to go and find the best pair of headphones you have experienced and then compare to this.
Product failings: the failure point on your headphones will be the switch.
Other failings: if the Bluetooth is disconnected it beeps at you. So you are in your office and it connects to your Samsung vl351 or vl350, when you leave your office it beeps at you continually. To warn and remind you that you are out of range . This was also present on v moda non aptx.
Eli5 if you use multiple Bluetooth technologies, disconnecting from any other source will cause these headphones to beep and br unusable. The warning that a bluetooth device has disconnected programming ruined the 2014 v moda headphones, ruined v moda 2 and persist today .
Workaround: Turn off and on headphones each time you disconnect a Bluetooth device. Have to reboot headphones every time I walk the dog. .
Overall: you will never find a pair of headphones that better v moda crossfade 2 aptx . It doesnt matter anyway, I have destroyed 5x v moda crossfade 2 by getting them wet, you cant afford 1x v moda crossfade
My Test
So I was strolling down west end London, and I came across a fancy audio store on the left corner of the street, it had prestigious looking headphones on display, I had the Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 Mobile Headsets at the time, and that was after buying and returning many other brands, I’m a composer so crazy about finding the perfect sound emitting headphones, so I walked in to the store and though I was satisfied with the headsets I had I was curious as to if there was better out there… I tried everything they had and then fell upon V-Moda’s crossfade the first edition, I was COMPLETELY blown away, there was no need to cross reference with any other previous ones I had tried, no comparison or reason for it, it beat products that were double it’s price and over… so I returned the pair I had to Amazon and purchase the crossfade 2 right? Why not… I’ve had these over/around 3 years or more (note I’ve purchased 2) can’t remember, and they still Work like day one, the build remains and I might be crazy to say this but I think the sound improves every day… I think think we’ll find a rival, be warned if you like your music extra loud, the loudest you’ll get from any headset I know and still want clear clean sounds, get this top dog… the only thing is that it’s so loud when turned up to the max people in the next room would here every word uttered in the song if played in a quiet environment… it’s not so much bad insulation it’s bad ass sounds that penetrated because they are so sharp rather than just loud, if you know what I mean… nothing comes close… put everything else in the bin…seriously just fake a test anytime you see before you buy and come back and like this review because I gave you heaven on a plate…
These are not the best headphones out there. But try for under 300$ find a better pair of all rounder headphones.
The wireless is excellent quality; the range is above average, not beating some gaming headsets but you won’t notice this under normal circumstances (probably the result of the focus on audio quality imo).
The fit for the cushions is perfect for my head size (which is slightly larger than average) So if you have a large head, the clamping force may be an issue for you but all it was was an adjustment for me.
I’m very happy with these headphones and if you have the budget for these headphones, these are an amazing treat for the ears.
These are fantastic headphones! A little heavy on the bass, but the sound quality is superb! And they are super sexy, especially the Rose Gold model.
I would love to give them a 5 star review, but the 1/4″ pro adapter didn’t come with them, even though it’s suppose to. Outside of that one little detail, I would highly recommend these Headphones to anyone.
I love these headphones work really well for gaming and jamming out to music
So in conclusion, expect to add another 20 to the cost of these and buy the pads when you place your order or trust me you will have to wait 2 days for them with cans you cant wear longer than 30 minutes.
BASS, plenty. I had to reduce my EQ’s low setting else I’d have bad headaches within 2 tunes.
TREBLE, from tenor/soprano voices and Meyer’s Fender Strat and flutes, sharp and crisp like I love them.
The reasons for knocking off a star, though I hate to are:
Worst buttons on any headset ever in my 40 years of buying headsets! I mean drugstore $14 ones have better. These are hard plastic. Located badly at the top of the ear cup. I have to take the set off to get at the multi function center button. And there’s no rewind/ffwd! At $350, are they kidding me? Solid gold accessiries available for 600 and buttons feel like they are from a cheap toy. The kind in the trash by Dec 26. AWWWFUL VModa.
Too much tension. Hurts the jaw and ear.
No Bluetooth during charging. No audble batt check feature until a blast of notes when unit is nearly out of power.
The matte case shows oil stains. So if you have on moisturizer you’ll have to wipe it off.
If you need noise cancelling these have little.
See pics of my fav PowerAmp app EQ setting for these.
If you’re a traveler the lack of noise cancellation might be a deal breaker for you, but I’ve take the original CFW2s on the plane and they did an outstanding job isolating the music and blocking out the airplane noise dramatically. I can’t get used to true noise cancelling headphones as the pressure bothers my ears, so these are definitely the next best thing.
The one area where V-MODA has not improved is their buttons. I’ve been complaining about the mushy and inaccurate buttons for years and that hasn’t changed. They may be a little more accurate but it’s just not a satisfying experience. The buttons just don’t feel great. They work fine, but I expect a little more clickyness in the 350 dollar price range. I still prefer the touch controls of some of the competitors. That said, they don’t sound as good, so I have to just live with that.
Anyway, to wrap it up, I can definitely recommend these headphones. Buttons aside, V-MODA continues to keep improving their wireless headphones and this obviously is the best version yet. Matte Black w/ APTX (for use w/ my OnePlus 6) is a dream. Sounds fantastic and looks great.
