I've always wanted a pair of V-Moda's over the ears for many years. I just couldn't bring myself to pay that kind of $$$. Never could I imagine paying more than $100 for any head phones. I've owned 3 sets of in ear V-Moda's in the past and their customer service has taken care of me. Also their immortal life warranty is what keeps me coming back. I've used it and the process is incredibly easy. I got a healthy raise and thought what the heck plus 12 month 0% interest didn't hurt. I read multiple reviews and I really wanted to go with a corded headset but since I have the iPhone 7 decided to go with a wireless version. I was looking at the crossfades but I didn't like that they didn't fold and I thought traveling with them would be a pain. Then I saw that they released the cross fade 2's with added folding making them easy to travel with. I was actually surprised how small they are once folded and in the case. The sound. Amazing sound I can hear new parts in music that I've listened to for years. Little nuances that you miss. I listened to many headphones in this price range before I decided to go with V-moda's I was biased but what I wanted to make sure. The one thing I noticed was I didn't like any of the cans that had active noise canceling. For what ever reason it made the music sound off. This is a personal decision and you may like that feature on other units. The controls that are built-in are great able to skip music and control the volume. The buttons are relatively easy to use. Middle button pause/skip/etc and left and right for volume up/down As good as these are when you use a cord they sound even better. You just can't compare wireless to to wired. This has a great combo. Of course this is all assuming you are listening to music from a good source. Streaming for Apple Music or Spotify isn't going to give you the experience of listening to lossless music. But you will still notice a difference just not as much as listening to lossless. What really sold me was passed experience with the V-Moda also no other set felt as sturdy as these do. These just feel great in your hands. The case has some removable vents invade you put them away while sweating and you don't want them to get stinky. My only real negative is that they are not as comfortable to have around your neck as they don't rotate. But then again this is subjective depending on how fat your neck is. If you're a Apple user it doesn't come with a 3 button cord. If it's plugged in the buttons on the actual headset don't work... for the price I paid I wish it came with the 3 button version. Sold thru V-Moda for $30 comes in 3 colors orange black and grey. This unit only comes with a 1 button orange cord. I like it but I really want the 3 button unit. If you're looking for APTX this unit doesn't come with. Only the Rose Gold version has it and Best Buy didn't have it in stock but I'm an Apple iPhone user and the 7 doesn't offer support for it. The Rose Gold unit costs $20 more and might offer some future proofing. Also I'm. It to crazy about that color and the all black model looks pretty sweet but then again $20 more for a feature I could possibly use in the future is a real disappointment. But I have no way of testing to see if it really makes a difference. If you like to game you can get a $30 boom pro mic from v-Moda. Haven't bought it yet but I am most likely going to buy it along with the 3 button cord. The reviews I've read on it used as a gaming headset are positive. These aren't perfect but the versatility is pretty awesome from wired to wireless to gaming.

I am in love with these headphones. The best way that I can describe the sound quality is by saying, layered and warm. I tried quite a few premium headphones offered by Best Buy's Magnolia, and as soon as I put these on and listened to Hi-Res audio, I fell in love. I have been an audiophile since youth and I can honestly say, these headphones are a hidden gem. It's not a huge name brand, great value, and I just recently found out about them. The packaging is cool, the overall look and feel of the headphones are slick and premium. I got the "Rose Gold" because they match my Pioneer hi res audio player. I would say that it's more of a copper color though. Ok with me though because black/copper is what I want. I love that the plates can be customized as well. I am going to stop by the V-Moda website and customize these bad boys. In a world full of cookie cutter assembly line products, it feels really special to have the ability to add my own flare to the item. I think V-Moda really hit the bullseye here.

I love V-moda headphones! They have their own unique look, that to me is extremely cool looking. They don’t feel or look cheap the way alot of expensive headphones look. They sound really good wireless and they get pretty loud. When wired you don’t need a amp to drive them, but they sound even better with a decent amp. I have three different dac/amplifiers and I get a different really good sound from the headphones. They seem to handle anything that you run through them. I can’t find anything negative about them, but I would recommend getting the XL earpads, unless you have small ears.

I can’t say enough about these headphones. My 3rd pair of Bose qc35 was malfunctioning again so I wasn’t sure if I wanted to try another pair. Well I really liked the Bose, but I was researching other options and after testing a few other brands I picked the V-Moda’s and I haven’t looked back. I love the sound in Bluetooth mode, I really love the sound wired and when I use them with my amplifier they’re unbelievable. The only thing I needed to do was get the bigger ear pads. I think they should come with the headphones, but I’m still happy with my choice and I think they look cool.

V-Moda is known for their excellent headphones, and are used professionally by many DJs. If you want higher quality components at this price at a trade-off of no active noise cancellation, you won't be disappointed. I prefer the better sound and the very good noice isolation of these headphones over the electronic gimmickry of Noice Cancellation. These cost about the same as Bose QC35 or the Sony 1000's, but the expense of noice canceling is instead put into the 50mm driver and the amazingly rugged build. If you want a solid (steel) construction headphone that will still be working 3 years from now, compare these side-by-side to Bose and Sony. And once you see how brilliantly these collapse into their much smaller and ruged case, any travelers will be sold. I travel for a living, and find these do a great job of dramatically reducing outside noice while on a plane. And they sound more like audiophile headphones if you choose to just plug them in. They sense being plugged in, and disable the battery. No processing, just pure corded analog sound - that can optionally go Bluetooth wireless. Check them out, they are in the Magnolia section, so not by the Beats and Bose display. Easy to overlook. But overlooking these would be a mistake.
