V-MODA’s Crossfade M-80 Metal On-Ear Headphone Packs Explosive Sound in a Sleek Size

Salute to the Masters

“After  years of research, design, and testing, this is truly the finest  addition to our acoustic arsenal we have ever developed. Rome wasn’t  built in a day, and similarly it took almost half a decade to fuse the  durability of an M1 Abrams tank, timeless Vinyl sound, Italian-suit  elegance and exotic motorsport materials into the compact Crossfade  M-80,” says Val Kolton, V-MODA CEO and DJ.  “In the sound-age of  over-processed digital compression and disposable plastic products, our  virtues were to develop a quality product that salutes the true masters  of music, machines and materials.  It’s an incredible value for hi-fi  sound and sophisticated style that says as much about you as your shoes,  watch or car.” 

trueHERTZ – The Revelation of Headphones

Most  headphone marketing is simply not telling the whole truth – headphones  often break too fast and every unit sounds different due to quality  control variance and individual fit. Upon this revelation, V-MODA  invested heavily on a crusade to create a rugged product that provides  the greatest sound for the greatest amount of people.

V-MODA’s  trueHERTZ and materalEDGE initiative reveals the sound, materials,  engineering and quality control processes shielding the ever-present  dangers to defenseless headphones.

“I vowed to never sell a  headphone I wouldn’t use myself, and as a producer, DJ and engineer  always on the go – M-80 is knighted by quality,” said Kolton.

The  M-80 is tested under strict MIL-STD-810G military testing and V-MODA’s  even more stringent VMQA guidelines, of which a few are listed below.
