Spent a week using mine as my main pair and despite my earlier enthusiasm fell way out of love with them. Noticed distortion with vocals which I'd previously written off as something burning in would fix. But it didn't. Also as I listened to a wider range of music their shortcomings became more and more apparent.
I think I'd been trying to convince myself that I liked them purely because in relative terms they are a bargain and they are in purely tactile terms, lovely.
But the sound just didn't improve any further and as above I noticed more and more issues as i moved through genres of music. I could have played around with the EQ further but to be honest, they just didn't seem worth the effort.
So I cancelled my XL pads and returned the V-Moda's to Amazon.
Already have the Sony MDR-1ABT so had a look and found a set of Sony MDR-1A used like new on Amazon and grabbed them for roughly the price of the V-Moda and XL pads. Absolutely delighted with them. No EQ necessary and they're amazingly comfy out the box.
Granted, build quality isn't as good and I do miss that lovely, compact little case the V-Moda came with.

Got the XL pads from absolutesounds today.
BTW absolute gave me a phone call which was good customer service.
Must use them again in the future.

I thought the XL would be thicker than they are but they still make a difference in fit.
The cans fit more level on my small head with less pressure on the bottom of the cup.

It does take some force taking off the originals and i have ripped both of them but they could be glued onto theplastic frame.

I found that my eq-ing didn't really work out and about, ironically made the headphones sound completely lifeless. Switched it off and they sound pretty good (as long as I'm outdoors/commuting!), bizarre...
One thing I have taken from these though is that burning in does make a difference. I'd never been sure with previous headphones if it was actually making a difference or just my ears adjusting through daily use. I haven't been using these daily but have been running them in, and when I do go to use them there is a slight but noticeable difference.
I'm keeping mine. They're not the best sounding headphones but there's just some intangible quality they have that makes me really like them. They'll do as a spare pair for holidays/travelling.
Ordered a set of xl pads which should lick the comfort issue.

​If they're heavily eq'd they seem pretty good, until I try any of my other headphones, I'm just not impressed.
They'd be decent for commuting if it weren't for the ported design (no way are these isolating, as they claim!) but my biggest problem is comfort - I just can't wear them longer than an hour tops.
So... These probably won't be staying with me.

​Oops - sorry for the slow reply. Yeah just electrical tape over them. Apparently surgical tape might be better because it's slightly porous...

So what's the opinion on these after a few days? Gotta say I was on the verge of returning them yesterday. They were just too murky-sounding to enjoy listening to some of my tunes, but sounded great with others. Seemed difficult to justify them if only ~50% of tunes sounded good. Velvet Revolver sounded horrific, but Chemical Brothers sounded great. Decided though to have a play around with my phones eq and after some (admittedly aggresive) Eq-ing they actually sound pretty decent now. Listening to Velvet Revolver again and that murkiness is no longer as apparent, they sound 'fun'.
Bearing that in mind, plus the sheer physical quality of them and the accessories, I reckon they're keepers now.

Interesting I thought they were for decoration.

What did you use to block them btw?
Black tape?

Mine just arrived. Great packing, and I'm pleasantly surprised by the sound. Much nicer than I'd expected with the bass focus.
They are very bassy, though. Closing up the V-shaped vents on the back helps, and there are two small rectangular ones below the drivers under the ear pads. I need to have a fiddle so see what works best.

the detail sounds great to me ? just listening to Ladytron and I can hear a male vocal underneath the main vocal that I never noticed before! sounds brilliant!

Just received mine, best £60.18 I've spent in a while!:stuck_out_tongue: Seemingly as my AKG y50bt's just fell apart this deal came at the right time, thanks OP.

Mine arrived today, packaging and build quality are top notch and for £60 a steal.

Half expected to be sending them back as I prefer detail over bass, but I was pleasantly surprised on how good they sounded. Granted, not the most detailed but all the sounds were there and I did not think the bass too overpowering.
With the bigger earcups and some run in time the sound should open even more.

As you can probably tell, these are not going back!

Got mine today and the bass guitar on pat benatars seven the hard way off vinyl is prominent .
Drums are not too prominent.
The rest of the sound does take a little bit of a step back in comparison to the bass guitar but its not as bad as i feared.

Will order the bigger cups to see if i can lower the bass guitar in the mix.

Build quality: nice cable that has twine around should make it less sticky to clothes and more durable overall.
Nice comfortable padded head band.
My ears fit inside the cups easily adding to the isolation

Anyone got theirs. What's your opinions?.
Received mine today very good for £60 but base is more than I'm used to. Will pass them onto my game fanatic g/son if I can't get used to them. A great deal I think. Many thanks yoyelp.

Mine have certainly improved as they've been used more.

My main dislike is the mid bass can seem a bit overblown from an SQ POV.

However, if you play some EDM, R&B, Hip Hop etc - they excel!

As they've softened, I've learnt to enjoy their sound a bit more - definitely not a revealing headphone, more of a smooth and powerful listen, but for £60 - £80, I think they're a steal!

I've ordered the XL pads, as I think the small cups and high clamp force are making it sound the way it does.

Bigger cups should reduce the bass volume and increase space and tonality.

£16 from http://www.gear4music.com

Should be with me for 20th March - I'll keep you posted

I missed out on this deal. Wouldn't mind buying yours off u?

These are more about the base, as stated in most reviews etc.... but it's all about personal preference.
Not to mention will you get anything better for £60ish? Most probably not.
I got my pair yesterday and although not quite, what I'm used too, I do really like them.

Keep them as an in between pair until something better comes along (if you can afford to).

Or failing that, fantastic opportunity to get into some new music :smile:

Anyone got theirs. What's your opinions?.

I'm contemplating sending them back. Tried them with a fatboy slim track and very good. Great bass. Then tried them with Noel Gallagher track and detail seemed missing. Picking out the guitar strings etc. was disappointing. So tried some acoustic music and again not enough detail for my taste.

Should I stick with them a bit longer. Or just got the wrong headphones for me. I really wanted the 100's after hearing a friends but just too expensive at £210.

Build quality etc. Seems great so I'm sure if the sound fits you'll be happy with them.

Deliberating!

Anyone know where you can get the coilpro cable from any cheaper ?

https://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/v-moda-coilpro-cable-black.html?source=shopping&sku=vmoccpblack&gclid=CjwKEAiArvTFBRCLq5-7-MSJ0jMSJABHBvp0GSIiFpYjhQcFD9xixtPRxtYWN0wqbTj7Mo6LtYRp4xoCIJDw_wcB

Nearly half the price of the headphones for a cable!

Were did you get the earpads from?

Yep you'll be happy!

Mine arrived last week.

I pulled the trigger at £74 as I fancied a 2nd pair for the house, and occasional gym use etc.

Impressive build quality, and have a pleasant sound - initially a bit bombastic with the bass, and I couldn't help but feel they were overhyped by bass fiends.

The standard ear cushions are a bit small and shallow too in my opinion. (I'm not a big guy either)

I think this is what's causing the bass to swamp the midrange and make it sound overly blown!

I've since ordered the V-Moda XL pads for £16.

Larger, Deeper and hopefully more comfortable - and hoping that'll allow the cans to sound as good as they can!

I think they'll represent good value then

Kicking myself for waiting to see how low the price on these was going to get to - Missed my chance!

Well mine have just arrived, they are a lot better than I was expecting. The sound sig took a min to get used too, but I'd say still well worth £68 :smiley:

well. don't know if I'm lucky I've cancelled my order but...it's on the way so overall I paid 68 pounds ,will see if it was worthed

Get on it!
I'm still waiting for my pair. Amazon Logistics love delivering to my work address between 6-7pm! :confused:

same here...never going to use Flubit.

Yeah me too.... but at least I received the package today - might see if I can get the 72p refunded :P

Cant believe I paid £60.97 for my pair... what a rip off. Super jealous of the £60.25 gang.

they are pretty useless

You called it :smiley: Order cancelled, reason given, item has gone out of stock since you placed your order - thing is the order was still coming through Amazon as well, so it's a blatant lie.

Back up to £113 for now.

They are amazing tho!

£109 and going up!

I bought the V-Moda crossfade wireless ones for £250 just a month ago :confused:

Ordered at 60.25 :smile:

Ordered @ 60.27. How low will it go??

I ordered when they were 60.39, I was going to wait and see if they went under 60 quid but my nerve went. Looks like they might go under 60 after all!

My order says dispatched.....

It is a countdown :smile:

Pricing has gone from £60.50 to £60.39 to £60.37 to £60.36 all in the space of a few minutes.

Now £60.37

I'm guessing Apple adaptor thing on one of these as standard jack will it affect sound?

For some weird reason the price keeps decreasing the more orders that are placed... I had to reorder. Have a feeling these orders might not be fulfilled..

Very weird seeing the price drop like this...... some kind of automated pricing gone wrong?

good luck actually getting your product :confused:

flubit = never ever for me again

Ordered, thanks!

Hot

are these ok to use everyday or are they too big? Some over ears are too big

I have only heard the m100 like 2-3 years ago and I think that's a decent headphone..not sure about this one but the price is keep dropping I may actually buy this for fun

As far as i can see the m100's never really get a decent price drop about £150 normally at best.

2p is 2p

60.50 now

Think I will cancel and reorder, 8p is 8p!!

This is crazy, it's now at £60.52!

I wonder what's with the pricing. It just keeps on going down.

This is a steal. Im waiting for m100 to drop :smiley:

Just got a pair for £60.60p, worth a punt at that price!

Awesome contents with these headphones. Good video of them here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYQPrR0uDxM

Used to have one of them for YEARS then I upgraded to the M-100s.

If you love bass, then these do not disappoint. I listen to a lot of metal and nothing like feeling the reverb from the bass drops in Fear Factory / Strapping Young Lad songs.

I purchased mine when they were almost £200. At £60, these are a STEAL.

The durability is top notch, it comes with a premium hard case, the cable is also very durable, and don't forget that V-Moda has the "Immortal Life Program" (if you're in the US) at http://v-moda.com/immortal-life-program/

Also quite comfortable (I'm a big guy with a big head) for long listening sessions and the only complaint I have is that your ears get really warm during summer.

Highly recommended!

Does anyone know if the buttons do play/ pause please ?

Yea got them for £60 and change. Got 3 pair of excellent low priced phones all bought through HUKD. I curse you all...... with a long life.... of serious addiction.... to this site. Or am I too late?

any idea how long the cable is on this? might be good for playing guitar with although I'd rather have wireless I think hmmm

ordered and then cancelled at £60.84, they just don't sound like they will suit my tastes

Bought mine at £61.61 earlier today, they have been dispatched for those who are a bit anxious.

Great timing as I broke my AKG's this week, bought and waiting anxiously.

Been waiting 2yrs for this type of price! bought! Many thanks op :smile:

currently at £60.88.

Buy them, you won't regret it. these are quality headphones and this price is unlikely to be repeated.

Sadly I'm dipping out. Too many headphones.
Still burning in the £31 Shure SRH840 misprices from last year.

this is one fab headphones.. esply for those who like bass.. actual bass... :wink:

£60.89 now.. wtf! incredible hot.

Thanks OP grabbed them at £60.98

£57.14 with a cheeky Flubit :smiley: another 6% off

Down to £60.96!

Keeeeeep uuuuuuuup!

M100s are the ones to go for if you can afford

I have these and several sennheiser; these are very bassy; for base heads! If you like sennheiser you won't like these; they are so cheap now get a pair just to compare and have!

Bit concerned over the bass on these as i normally prefer a flat response.
Can anyone comment on how much bass lift there is?

My sennheiser momentums v1 have a bass lift that is okay but noticable.

I guess i can use them for tv listening when i require a punchy sound if they are too much for music listening.

£60.97!!!!!!

Got mine ordered. Dropping 1p per min.
Someone repost the deal :wink:

Back on at £60.98!!!!
Think I'll actually purchase them now :smiley: ta chaps.

I blinked first and ordered at £61.05 following their brief increase to £150. The pedant in me wants to cancel this order and reorder at £60.99. I need to get out more....

Dropped to £60.99 be quick

I have never seen a product fluctuate so much in price, clicked on it it was £149.99, then went up just above £151, then dropped to £61.03 and then by the time I finished checkout it was at £61 exactly....What is this on the stock exchange or something?

BTW: does anyone know if the V-Moda mic attachment will work on this?

Was 61, went to basket and it was 150. Refreshed the product page again and it was back to 61, hit the one click buy button. Took a risk on these so hoping they are decent quality. Amazon.com reviews look positive

Showing as £61.03 for me at the moment

Yeah gone back up just as I was about to purchase them. Saved me £60 quid?! Good for those that managed to pick a pair up and didn't faff about like me.

Using parents laptop. Not fully signed into their account, added to basket. Only just purchased and went through.

If you've got them in a basket might be worth pressing through to checkout.

Was just about to buy now back at £150

I bought those last week for £ 80

gone back to £150

I plan to wait a week. By then Amazon will pay me to buy them....

Still dropping £61.41 now

Ordered, Nice find! Considering getting the microphone attachment for this. Price keeps changing up and down by a few pennies so keeping an eye on it.

Ordered, many thanks OP.

I've been waiting for these to come back down, thanks for the heads up :smiley:
