V-MODA. the Quality Continues!

0:00 This is my product review on three sets of headphones from V-Moda

Right ladies and gentlemen, this is my product review on three sets of headphones from V-Moda. From left to right we've got crossfade M80s, crossfade M100s, and on the right hand side we've got the crossfade LP. We've got a bit of information there that you'll find with the headphones. Also that packet's quite interesting, and that there has got nothing to do with the headphones. I'm outside and I'm having a cup of tea. By the looks of it we might even have a cat joining in. This is Ali. And welcome to where I live at the moment. And there they are. Alright, what we'll do, we'll have a look at the Crossfade M100. Now first of all what they've done is they have designed the box so it's a pleasure to open. I gave an analogy on Facebook a few days ago about going on holiday. When you go on holiday, hello, you want the holiday to start as soon as you jump in the car or get on the bus.

1:53 Part of the packaging, spongy packaging and also again, top marks

If you go to supermarkets and buy any products, Part of the packaging, spongy packaging and also again, top marks. They come with their own headphone case and it's quite sturdy. It's not flimsy at all, it's not rock solid but it's very sturdy. I like it. Right, I'm going to open this up. There's only a few bits and bobs in there because I've taken them out. That there, I'll explain what that is but there's two of them and you've got one, two areas to put the two cables. These here, there we go. Now first things first you'll see that I've got Ellaskins DJ Tutor on there, on the side. Now that area there is metal and that's interchangeable so if you do go to the website you can get your own motif printed on there, put on there. You can have as many as you want, I'm not sure of the cost but you can change these over, have different colours as well. Now these here click up quite nicely.

Pull the cable out. So, they're very neat. They feel good. They feel nice and comfortable and they are very comfortable on the head as well. If I just bring the camera up like that. Alright, I'm going to put them on like so. Alright, they kiss your ears. They don't squash your ears. They kiss them. I can imagine if they were too hard over your ears, yeah, you'd have virtually no ambient sound coming in through Well, through everywhere else. You'd only be hearing the music but then you don't want that to happen. You want them to be able to just caress your ears otherwise your head will get squashed. Not very good. We did have two of those small little pieces of plastic. Well you can see at the moment I've got one in there. What's it for? There are two holes, identical holes at the bottom. They're for the cable, the audio cable. Now top marks in two ways.

First of all, you can put the audio cable into the right or left hand side. So depending on your preference, if the headphone input on your mixer is on the right, you can put it on the right, on the left, on the left, or it doesn't matter. Some people prefer it one side and they end up turning the headphones around. You don't have to. You can put it either side. And also I believe, personally believe any headphone manufacturer out there should do this. This is a box standard mini jack. That's what it looks like, alright? That is what it looks like. So that fits into there. Now there are some manufacturers out there that have designed their own plug to go into the bottom of the headphones which is great because if the headphone cable breaks nine times out of ten that's what happens before the headphones do you have to get a new cable but of course you have to buy their specific.

4:55 At the bottom we have that kind of design

Cable. You don't have to here. You could if you wanted to just get a mini jack to mini jack, but you probably wouldn't want to when you have a look at the other end because this one here is for sharing. At the bottom we have that kind of design. That will go into your mixer, your iPod, your iPhone. Alternatively there is a quarter inch jack that comes with it which fits like so. Now this is cool. This is very cool. This is excellent. What is that? Well, if I just pull that up and attach it there like that. If you hear any noises in the background, that's the cat dying. It's all right. There is a female mini jack. So you can, if you want to, you can do a couple of things. If you just like playing music from your iPod, you're sitting on a bus and you've got someone sitting next to you, they can share your music. Alternatively, which I like, is if you like to teach people.

You can hear what's going on and they can as well. So more importantly, if you're teaching a DJ and they're trying to mix, you can sit in the corner with your headphones on and you can hear where they're going either right or going wrong because you can plug headphones in there as well. So that's your very basic headphone cable. Alternatively, if you want to, we've got this one here. Now let me just get the right terminology here. What do they say? One button speakeasy mic cable. So there you go. Maybe you're on your phone, this one is for you. Again that will go into the phone and that one there will go into the headphones. And you'll notice as well here we've got just at the top you can see 1, 2, 3, 4 different pieces of metal.

7:02 These which are the Crossfade M80s

So that one is stereo. In other words, you have earth, you have right and left. This one here is for your mobile phone because it means then that you can use this for hands-free purposes. Alright, so that's pretty much it for the M100. What I'll do now, I'll show you these which are the Crossfade M80s. A way of describing these is that a lot of people, these are more a fashion accessory, period. Right, they're still very good, they sound excellent but if you're the sort of person who maybe isn't a DJ and you just want good quality audio then give them a go. First of all you'll notice if I, hold on, what have I, if I put them away, where are they? Stuff all over the place here. Ah, there they are.

Alright, you'll notice the size difference. There is a vast amount of difference so I would find it highly unlikely if someone was going to use these in a big nightclub unless they're a midget and have got very small ears but of course something like this are great for say ladies out there who have spent a fortune on doing their hair up and the last thing they want is huge monstrous ear muffs across their ears so that they still feel good, they look good and They're very stylish, alright? Also again, come in an even more stylish case. Can you hear that noise in the background? God knows. There you go. Alright, what I'm going to be doing is I'm going to be doing a few more product reviews over the next sort of week or so and also watch this space because I'll be giving away some headphones as well from Vmoda. You'll have to do a couple of things.

But there'll be two sets that will be given away. One set for America, North America, and then the other set for the rest of the world. So if you want any more information, then check out the link in the description and I will say practice and enjoy. Nice one.
