I've had a several pairs of V-Moda's over the years, with the Crossfade Wireless 2 as my current pair. I thought the included pair of cushions was already an upgrade over the stock cushions that came on the M-100. This took the comfort to a whole other level. I was alright with wearing these for an hour or two, but found that at high volumes my left ear was actually vibrating on a very small part where the tip of it was making contact with the mesh. The expanded depth and volume here made sure to envelope my ear my completely and gave the necessary space so that not a single part of my ear was making contact with the mesh or speaker grille. The material itself used in the cushion is soft enough to feel comfortable, but firm enough that it won't collapse if placed flat or exposed to prolonged pressure. I've included some pictures where one side has the XL cushions and one side has the included cushions on the CFW2. Seriously, if you have a set of V-Moda over ears, there are no downsides to these upgraded cushions. Not a single one. Well worth the price. Don't wait. Just do it.

The standard cushions that come with the V-Moda Crossfade headphones are too small for my ears and probably anybody with earlobes! After an hour or two, my ears hurt. The XL cushions add plenty of space and are actually a bit more cushiony, maybe because of the increases surface area. In any case, I've been able to go as long as six hours with the XL cushions without any real discomfort. I haven't tried longer. My wife, who has much smaller ears, didn't find any real difference between the two. The only thing that would make them better is if they had been included with the Crossfades to begin with. A very inexpensive way to make the Crossfades more comfortable across a wider range of ear sizes. Highly recommended!

Much more comfortable then the stock earcups. Feels like the sound is better too but I'm no audiophile.

Purchasing these was one of the best choices I could have made. It makes listening to you V-Moda headphones that much more enjoyable. The standard earpieces tend to be a little uncomfortable and these add just enough cushioning to make your experience more satisfying.

After reading many reviews about the stock ear cushions lacking a bit. I ordered my headphones with the XL cushions but they didn't show up till a couple days later. So I did use the heaphones with the stock cushions and the XL's. The XL's make all the difference in the world for making them even more comfortable. Not to say the stock cushions were horrible but the XL's were better by far.
