V-MODA Crossfade M-100 Headphones Review

The V-MODA Crossfade M-100 headphones are a brand of over-ear noise-isolating metal headphones manufactured by V-MODA, a company that focuses on the production of high-end audio products. It is a merchandise that was fabricated from scratch not only for audiophiles but by audiophiles.

Features

Merely saying the audio quality of the M-100 Crossfade M-100 headphones is amazing does not truly paint the true picture of how awesome these headsets sound. The audio signals heard by the user is very clear and distinct in all ranges, and the voices sound very pure, thus giving the user a really immersive and rich auditory experience.

These headphones were designed with ruggedness in mind. This helps them to endure the rigors of being carried around during travel. Thanks to their robust design, these headphones can be taken anywhere and everywhere without any fears of possibly damaging them. This is one of the many strong points of the V-MODA Crossfade M-100 headphones as this does not apply to majority of the other headsets on the market because many of them are very prone to accidental breakage.

This product was designed with military-grade precision and there are very few headphones available today that are more durable than the Crossfade M-100. The level of detail that V-MODA put into the design of this product is highly commendable indeed. A good pointer to this fact is the fact that the M-100 are collapsible, that is, they can fall back on themselves using their distinctive CLIQFOLD design functionality, thereby reducing the amount of storage space they need.

The product unit is shipped with a hard carrying case which provides yet another level of protection for the headphones while traveling.

The presence of the double metal shields on the outside of each atrium further increases the robustness of these headphones, while giving it a unique look of its own. These metal shields are replaceable and the product’s manufacturer, V-MODA, has quite a few customized designs on their official website whereby their customers who buy the M-100 can further modify the look of their headphones, setting it further apart from those of other users.

Speaking in terms of cables and wiring, it has two audio cables that can be connected to either one of the left or the right cup. One of these cables has a microphone and an in-line remote control which can be used to pause, playback or even pick up incoming telephone calls or any other compatible mobile device.

The other cable is the SharePlay cable which has an integrated audio jack that permits people to share the sounds they are listening to with someone else. This feature is particularly useful when you want to watch a movie or television with someone else, perhaps while on a long flight. These cables are made from good quality materials and are of good thickness. They are also tangle-resistant.

Speaking in terms of wearing comfort, the M-100 headphones are comfortable enough to be worn, even for lengthy periods of time. It is even likely that many users will sometimes forget that they are wearing the headphones. Such is the degree of comfort one experiences when using these headphones.

Although, one might experience some initial discomfort at the initial stage but as the product is broken in over time, the discomfort ends.

The M-100 headphones are capable of isolating outside noise, even if they do not have an active noise cancellation system.
