V-MODACrossfade 2 Wireless Over-Ear Headphone - Matte Black

I deliberated for a long time over these, the Sony MDR 1000X and the Bowers & Wilkins PX - I actually bought all three and sent the other two back. I've tried to give a really quick overview of the key aspects of the headphones to help someone who is maybe in the position I was in a little while ago.Sound:There are a lot of reviews out there regarding sound and of the three headphones above and the V-Modas will generally come last. I agree that the PX headphone sound is much more 'true' while I personally would put the Sony below the two. The main gripe I had with the other two is that with noise cancelling on everything just sounds... forced. It is a strange sensation. The only thing I can liken it to is when you pop your ears on a plane and you get that feeling of pressure and everything just sounds a bit odd. I kept turning it off because I couldn't get used to it so figured what is the point in having it?The V-Modas are more bass heavy than the others which again I prefer as it suits the music that I like (rock, metal, techno, drum&bass, house).One issue that I have had is that the Bluetooth connection is not amazing on these. If I have too many clothes in between the headphones and my phone the sound jumps in and out. Very annoying. It is always fixable by having a clearer line of sight but for this money it shouldn't even be an issue.Looks:I much prefer the industrial look of these headphones to the others - this is very much personal preference though. What I will say is that these seem to give a nicer 'arc' on your head. The headband on the Sony in particular stuck out a lot and while the cable routing of the PX is incredible and give cleaner lines, I prefer these - the cable give a bit of character and the ear cup holder looks so much cooler.Battery:Lasts a decent amount of time but has the most annoying method of letting you know it is running out of beeping - I can't think of a worse method making it known that the battery is low. One of the other main reasons I chose this pair of headphone is that you do not actually need the headphones to be charged to use them - so long as you have a 3.5mm-3.5mm cable you can use them. It prevents the situation of lugging around dead weight and having no music at all. The sound quality is also improved slightly by using a cable - great for DJs apparently - the difference to me is minimal.Other:+ The folding design is incredible and makes the headphone tiny when stored, the hinge feels sturdy and I'm not afraid of just throwing these around.+ The case is again really good, I generally just clip the headphones to the outside of my bag when not using them which frees up space in my bag when travelling.+ They sit around your neck infinitely better than the others.+ By far the most comfortable headphones, the soft ear pads are like a cloud on your head. The downside to this...- ...After a while they make your head sweat - I don't think this would happen with the PX headphones because the pad is much harder, but SO painful after a while.- The buttons are a bit fiddly and sometimes stick, it feels like these could have been drastically improved. There is also a bit of a delay sometimes on pausing.All in all I'm giving 5 stars because, despite the small niggles, these are incredible headphones. If you don't believe me just do what I did and buy a few and return the ones you don't want...

These are the most expensive cans I've ever purchased. Sound via Bluetooth over AptX if the music comes from MP3 is very close to indistinguishable (you lose a tiny bit on the low and high ends), and the Bluetooth is amazing for doing the hoovering and mopping. AptX does hurt the sound badly if coming from FLAC though, a bit worse than MP3 encoding. AAC encoded music seems to hit or miss, sometimes the Bluetooth is very noticeable. Sometimes not.With cable though, it's an impressive yet fun sound. Deep lows, clear trebles, yet tons of detail in the middle. And with the default ear pads, the sound is often quite emotional. The sound really tugs on you at times. You really feel a piece.Unfortunately, said default ear pads are way too small for my ears. I persisted with them for some weeks because the sound was so good, but the cartilage bruising got bad enough it hurt to sleep on my side. So I bought the extra large pads for a vast fortune of money from the vmoda website where delivery to Europe costs more than the pads.Now these cans are very comfortable to wear for extended periods. But the sound has lost that emotional punch it had. So very sad. These cans aren't tuned for those extra large pads in the same way as for the default pads :(I'd still highly recommend these cans though. They're not spectacular at any one thing. They are excellent at lots of things, everything from excluding aircraft noise, through to ear muffs against the cold, and making cleaning much less tedious. They do great at gaming, too. And they do all this closed cup, so they work as an office coworker exclusion device too. Even with the extra big pads, they are good enough at everything they're a great buy.If you're not the kind of audiophile who needs six separate high end cans, each for their own specialisation, but are audiophile enough that you're willing to drop a lot of money on one set of cans which can give each of those six high end cans a run for its money, these are the cans you should buy.*Especially* if you have small ears.

I already have a VModa Crossfade wired headphone bought in 2012 and can honestly say the quality of build and sound are exceptional and the price tag justifies the product. So it is now 2018 and wanted to upgrade to a wireless headphone. With so much out there I wanted to stay with Vmoda. Luckily for me they were on offer with Amazon. My wife also wanted a pair so ordered two of them in the morning. Both arrived that evening. YES, SAME DAY DELIVERY :-)We were both exited to open the box and use them straight away. They typically come well packaged. SO this review is for the wife's headphones. Everything as it should be. Switched it on paired it up with her iPad easily and away she went. She was very pleased with quality, sound and style of the product. What can I say...happy days for her. If you have never heard of Vmoda they are premium headphones and far better, and superior in my opinion, to other high end head phones. You get what you pay for but, again, in my opinion, you get far more with VModa.Now when I took mine out of the box the first thing I noticed was that the security tag was missing, which was a big surprise and then opening up the package and case I noticed that the plastic wrapping was not there. This made me think that I was sent a customer return or somewhere along the line it had been opened up. A little concerned I contacted Amazon straight away to alert them of this and to relay my concern as I had paid for a brand new set of headphones. It was late Saturday and now too late to get a replacement for Monday as I was flying out. The product itself was fine and looked brand-new, but just disappointed that I had received what looked an opened and possibly used item. In any case Amazon provided me with a discount for my headphones which took the sting out of it. I have since been using mine and am very pleased with the purchase.

Vengo de usar unos Bose QC 35 II que lamentablemente extravié, entre innumerables opciones me topé con estos a los que les tenía ganas desde sus primeros modelos del M100, aunque como tengo iPhone era indispensable que fueran inalámbricos por el tema de que no tiene entrada 3.5mm.Llevo un rato usándolos y estoy muy satisfecho con el sonido, aunque ya no los puedo comparar directamente, me atrevo a decir que el sonido de estos es mejor que los Bose (por muy poco realmente), la pega es en efecto la falta de cancelación de ruido activa, en el transporte es casi impensable utilizarlos si tienen música a alto volumen, no se disfrutan demasiado, la cancelación de ruido pasiva no es la suficiente y no hay punto de comparación en este rubro con los Bose.Como mi objetivo era para uso en oficina, cumplen con mis expectativas de uso, no necesito quitármelos si alguien de al lado me habla, basta sólo con pausar la música u otro contenido que esté escuchando, aunque no se antoja mucho usarlos en épocas de calor pues el material de las almohadillas no es nada transpirable, algo un poco obvio.En tema de calidad, la primera vez que los saqué de su caja se sentían bastante premium (más premium que los Bose), los cables se sienten resistentes, lo malo es que se cargan todavía con entrada micro USB, al guardarlos se hacen muy compactos que caben en tu mano, pero según guardes tus cosas puede que no te convenga su forma de guardarse, pues no se pueden hacer “planos”.Su sonido tira más a los bajos, pero nada exagerado, pueden escucharse con casi cualquier género, los audífonos en sí, si los podría recomendar, en tanto no estén por encima de los $4,000 pues en ese caso su competencia con ANC se los devoran para las necesidades del público en general, ideales para usar en entornos sin demasiado ruido, sirven también para gaming aunque unos audífonos dedicados hacen mejor chamba en envolvimiento.

I’m a bit of an audiophile. But I’m also on the move quite a lot whether it be for work, school, or travel. Traditional earbuds never cut it for me, because they never gave me the quality in music I like.The first pair of higher quality headphones I got were Beats Pro (I was in high school and they were all the rage). While the noise cancellation and sound quality were great, they were INCREDIBLY fragile. Very plasticy. That was a problem for me. The Beats Pro I had only lasted a little over a year before they were damaged beyond use.The next pair I purchased were the V-moda crossfade. These were great. The noise cancellation was only a notch below and the sound quality was on par. But the construction was FAR better. I absolutely beat those things up and they never died. That pair lasted me several years and still works well. But I wanted an upgrade.This V-moda crossfade 2 is exactly that. It’s everything I loved about the original cross fade but with more comfortable ear cushions, better design, and Bluetooth capability. The battery life is less than ideal, but certainly doesn’t out weigh the overall quality of these headphones. I can not exaggerate how sturdy these headphone feel. And on top of that, the sound quality and noise cancellation are both high tier. Not to mention they are incredibly stylish. I’ve had them for a few weeks now and am thoroughly impressed. Would highly recommend.

le ho comprate su consiglio di un amico Dj, lui usa le m100 nelle discoteche e mi ha consigliato queste perché ha le stesse performance di quelle appena citate, con la differenza però che sono wireless, il che le rende molto pratiche per un uso anche quotidiano: in aereo, in treno, in macchina ... ovunque insomma. Suono molto potente con bassi da paura. Prive di distorsione ad alti volumi. costruite con materiali resistenti e durevoli .

Amazing sound, BT connectivity is great and conversation quality is excellent for use on i-phone. Build quality and durability on these are fantastic -- this is the 3rd pair of V-moda's I own - ended up giving up other pairs to other family members. Comfortable for 2-3hours at a time - they do tend to get uncomfortable after that. I am considering the xl pads.

Estos audífonos están bastante completos, El precio es un dilema, El case para guardarlos es rígido. Siento que es bastante útil para transportar y tiene un diseño conservador a la marca. Es importante recalcar que para tener una mayor experiencia hay que comprar las almohadillas XL: realmente valen la pena. La opción de customizar y poder cambiar las placas de colores y texturas es un detalle de personalización único. Estoy bastante encantado con esta compra y los recomiendo.
