Description

Custom look, with a custom sound.

The Crossfade M-100 On-Ear headphones from V-MODA are one of the most stylistic, high-tech pair of cans available, and the sound performance is just as sophisticated. The M-100 features 50mm Dual-Diaphragm Drivers that deliver multi-driver sound with the energy efficiency and quality of a single driver. To recreate a pure balanced sound analogous to vinyl, M-100 uses no batteries or artificial sound processing. The rugged design encompasses first class material from it's metal frame headband to the Kevlar reinforced cables, these headphones are made to last.

MasterCrafted
The award-winning Crossfade M-100 is the ultimate symbol of sophistication in sound and style. Authentically tuned by a legion of legendary musicians, Grammy-Award winning producers and audiophiles, the M-100 packs timeless materials, professional acoustics, natural noise isolation, ergonomics and military-level ruggedness into a comfortable on-wear design.

BLISS Comfort and Noise Isolation
A great amount of detail went into designing the ergonomics of the headband and the BLISS memory ear cushions that help naturally isolate noise without adding too much pressure on your ears and head. The specially tuned V-PORT V3 and memory cushions create a true 3D sound stage versus closed-back headphones while minimizing outside sound to others. It's the perfect balance of isolation, staging and ergonomics that makes M-100 the essential companion for long play sessions on smartphones, notebooks and tablets.

MaterialEDGE
M-100's first-class materials are virtually indestructible. It is forged from a metal frame, STEELFLEX headband that perfectly contours the head for a sleek look, interchangeable metal shields, durable microfiber suede, replaceable memory foam cushions, Kevlar-reinforced microphone cables and an exoskeleton carrying case that you can attach to your bag.

Custom Laser Engraved Shields
You can choose from a variety of colors to customize your shields and even laser engrave any artwork such as your logo or favorite team. Endorse Yourself.

Universal Compatibility and Microphone Communication
M-100 comes with 2 Kevlar-reinforced microphone cables for universal compatibility with all modern mobile and audio devices. The microphone cables works perfectly on all smartphones (iPhone, Android, Windows, Blackberry), tablets, notebook, MP3 and audio devices.

Incredible, especially after fitting the XL ear pads

I had to retire my trusty old DJ headphones so decided to look for the best.

I read tons of reviews on these and everyone seems to say the same thing, they’re awesome.

The customisation options for the plates are insane, I have a small selection of these for fun.

The other modification I made was to fit the XL ear pads which are unbelievably comfortable.

make sense

lets be honest, all headphones lie ... but this one has enough bass to judge that correctly and 200hz make them sound full. Many Djs use these, they are sturdy, dampened well to the outside, and overall they show the most critical things in your mix. The Sennheiser HD650 are the most linear out here but the halfopened design make them bad for recording :)

jessico

expensive but worth it

i was looking for a good headphones for djing , at first i wanted to buy the beats mixr or the nocs ns900 but they i was i little ugly for me , so i choose the m100 because they are flat design and also they have amazing sound and when you play them loud they still working fine and clean , they are not cheap but they worth it.

R

great for low frequency and DJ mixing.

it takes a while to get use to the feeling of it. its a bit tighter than most headphones, but because of that, you can almost hear nothing else but what you're listening to at the moment.

M

Too Perfect

Beautifully designed: small; compact; durable; gorgeous; customisable. Beautifully sounding: 3D sound-stage; 50mm dual-drivers (patented); glorious sound. Mind-Blowing Customer Service: 2-year warranty; immortal-life; first crowd-sourced headphones. Perfection.

oliverfatex

Awesome!

These are the best headphones, I have ever bought. They are perfect for almost everything, mixing music, listening or even gaming! I strongly recommend them to everyone.

blujaymix

Very good!

Great sounding headphones, Also got really used to the ear pads. I've only had them for a few months so let's see how long this lasts! ;)

blujaymix

Update: 6 months I've had it, and the right ear cup finally gives up (stops working). It has to be the wiring in there. Might get my money back for it or get a replacement m100.

myles_singer

By far the best DJ headphones for the price imo.

Super super super clear, loud and bassheavy headphones, These cans will hit frequencies so low you'll get headaches. seriously, i've gotten a few. but don't let that steer you away from them, they'll rock your world if you put in the money, which for $250 on amazon, is an AMAZING deal. love them. plus you can customize the hell out of them with different shields.

djdumusic

A favorite choice for customizable style and performance

These headphones are my favorite!! I take the side plates off after every show and give them away at the next show.

wagner

Super nice Headphone for DJ

When listening Club music, it is super good headphone for me.

At first, Low- sound is amazing. It adds some sharpness to Mid-High sound and it also expresses you a super emotional chord sounds with natural taste.

I recommend this gear. Absolutely no question of this quality.
