Award-Winning V-MODA Crossfade M-100 Crowdsourced Headphones Now Shipping

V-MODA,  the multi-platinum selling designer of headphones trusted by the pros  and elite, announces the availability of the highly-anticipated M-100  headphones designed by and for music aficionados. V-MODA tapped the collective  intellect of artists, editors and audiophiles to design, develop and  vote on the first units to go to mass production. M-100 quickly became  the most highly discussed headphone on the internet forums with over 10,000 posts and 700 pages on the world’s largest  headphone site, Head-Fi.

“Developing  this project alongside the passionate audio enthusiast community was a  very special experience that I dedicated my life to over the past year”  states Val Kolton, Chief Visionary Officer at V-MODA.   “I’ll never  forget the key moments such as collaborating with numerous Grammy-winning and artists or staying up late discussing  and testing prototypes with audiophiles globally. We opened the first  unit with world-renowned producer/DJ AVICII at Radio City Music hall and  immediately afterwards let CNET’s Steve Guttenberg judge and listen to it first. The results so far has been unparalleled  praise and editors’ choice accolades from CNET, Engadget, Gizmodo,  Head-Fi, Innerfidelity, Laptop Mag, NY Times, Popular Science, Sound  & Vision and other media. It’s an achievement, not for V-MODA, but for the entire artist and audiophile community that  brought M-100 to life,” added Kolton.

Superior Sound – M-100 evokes the experience of a live performance with clean, deep  bass, lifelike vocals and ultra wide clarity in an immersive 3D  soundstage. Patent pending 50mm Dual-Diaphragm Drivers sport inner and outer rings separating the bass  from bleeding into the mids and highs. V-MODA’s analog noise isolation  naturally blocks out the distractions of jet engines, outside noise and  booth monitors minus the extra digital-to-analog conversions of battery powered headphones that pollute the purity of  your music.

Natural Ergonomics – The Crossfade series’ exclusive hexagon shape was sculpted to frame and  contour to natural facial features while minimizing gaps and the blocky  angles found on round, oval and rectangular headphones. An inspiration of both bespoke fashion  and wind-tunnel dynamics produces a tailored fit and high-performance  sound that is comfortable for the largest variety of individuals.

Military-Grade Durability – The M-100 is built to last with a steel frame, aircraft grade metal  shields, and STEELFLEX headband that fortify this exquisite headphone  design with Military-Level MIL-STD-810G test standards. M-100 will survive 70+ drops on concrete from 6 feet, extreme high and low temperatures,  humidity, salt spray, and UV exposure. The Kevlar reinforced cables can bend up over 1 million times which is up to one hundred times the  industry standard.

Ultimate Versatility – Beyond its superb fidelity and tank-like durability, V-MODA includes an  array of extra features that empower M-100 users with a complete  listening experience for travel, music production, DJing, gaming and more. The Swiss-like  CliqFold hinge precisely folds the headphones into the impossibly small  Exoskeleton case with a v-strap system to organize the included cables  and ¼” adapter. M-100 features dual inputs so a DJ can mix two sources at the same time or share the music by daisy  chaining other headphones. The unused input can be sealed with the  patent pending V-CORK to accurately balance the sound and prevent  corrosion.

The re-optimized SpeakEasy Mic cable is tuned for voice recognition even  in the noisiest environments and works with all 3.5mm smartphones and  tablets including Apple, Android, Windows, Kindle and Blackberry while  the extended SharePlay audio cable allows you to share your music with a friend. The optional BoomPro  professional-grade boom mic is made for gaming and Skype while the  CoilPro locking extended coiled cable allows DJs and musicians to reach  further. Modern music enthusiasts can further customize their M-100 with the Matte Black Metal, Shadow or White Silver colors and a  selection of shield colors which can be customized through V-MODA’s  laser engraving service with virtually any logo, text or a variety of  select designs.
