How do these compare to the VModa Crossfade M100? I am trying to decide between them and the VModas which are passive noise cancellation but still...

I have no way to compare because I have no experience with the VModa Crossfade M100 you are considering.

I don't know how they compare with the ones that you're asking about but I do know that I was not happy at all with them when I compared them to the Bose AR-15 headphones. Hope this helps.

Sorry I have not compared them.I was not as impressed as I expected to be. There are nice features like talk through button so if a flight attendant asks a question dont Ned to take headphone off. And the fact that if batery goes flat it still works as regular headphone but the Bose QC 15 us actually better on noise reduction

I actually experienced something totally different. The bass on my pair of v modas is not so good but the high and mids are pretty good. But maybe that's just my comparison to other headphones I've had before.

I haven't tried the Solo², but have heard good things. Since they do not feature the active noise cancellation found on the Studio they should have better sound quality at a lower cost and should otherwise be similar in quality. Personally I'd say go to a store that allows you to try both, then compare and purchase the one you prefer on Amazon for slightly less.

The V-Modas being a closed headphone have a smaller sound-stage and much much more bass. The Q701's are pretty reference and have a fairly flat response curve. They can be a little aggressive in the treble at first but that mellowed out with burn in. If you're a Bass-Head, the Moda's will likely be more to your taste, but eh Q-701's have, what I think, is a better overall sound quality. The Open Soundstage makes a ton of difference. Everything is so crystal clear.

If you need passive blacking of ambient noise, in my search for headphones the best I could determine is the Sennheiser 380, pretty similar to the popular 280 but with slightly better noise blocking, which is already pretty good in the 280.

No, you can still hear background noise, which is good especially if you street run. Depending on the device, I used 7 Th generation nano, they can play pretty loud. As I mentioned they are great but not if you wear glasses, which I do.

If you get ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING INSPIRATION THEY OFFER/GET THE MONSTER INSPIRATION (NOT THE PASSIVE NOISE CANCELLING.). So get ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING. I have 3 pairs of Beats Studio and then I got the ACTIVE/INSPIRATION. I haven't listened to my beats since

I'm in the same boat. I'm reviewing headphone sets primarily based on their noise cancellation abilities -- I don't even need audio. Recommendations would be welcome.

I have m50s as well. In comparison the m-100's have a significantly better sound on the low end. The bass respond you get with these are really good. The highs are also better than the m50s. To me, they do not "pierce" the ears as much when I turn it up a bit. Finally, the mids are about the same in quality, however since the vmodas have those two other strengths, you will probably notice the mids to be better with m50.

I have just purchase d vmoda xs, I think they are awesome. Very comfortable and built like a tank whithout the weight.highly recommend. Sound quality is excellent, but I'm no audiophile.

I can't compare the QC20 with the passive earmuffs you mentioned. I can say though that the QC20 does reduce the amplitude of voices but maybe not as much as you may want. I do use them in my office while listening to soft music. People have to shake me to get my attention. You can try them risk free for 30 (90?) days.

Well I have the XS and I love them , from what I can tell is that the M-80's have a few more flavors but when it comes to sound and construction the XS are the way to go. The XS are tested up to Military specs and the dynamic range on the XS seems to be better. I have mine hooked up to either my HTC ONE phone or even better at home I have a Bravo Audio tube headphone amp and the XS are just unbelievable , But they are virtually the same . Same 40 mm driver another huge factor for me is that I can fold these us and the case is awesomely perfect!!! Basically what IO have found is that unless you want spend a lot more money The V-MODA xs ARE BETTER THAN THE M80'S IN MANY CATEGORIES THEY ARE THE BEST FOR YOUR MONEY , UNLESS YOU CAN AFFORD THE 100'S ., AND THAT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TOPIC . Sorry bout the stupid caps , I can safely say ( This is the only time I have ever plugged for any company but these things are great plus you can switch either side for your cable and you can also run another pair of head phones from the empty port on whatever side doesn't connect to the music obviously . They are all nice obviously but the two best are the XS and then of course the 100s . hope this helped you bud , if you have any other questions feel free .EZ be brother I was just looking at a few more differences the XS are totally the way to go !!!

I know this isn't the best environment, but I listen to music for 2-2.5 hours every day on my commute, on the subway. How much disturbance would this cause others? My previous headphones were the Sony MDR-V6. I wish I could listen to music in a quieter environment, but I don't have the time, the subway unfortunately is the best stretch of time I have every day.If you think these would disturb others too much, is there a closed model you recommend? I can't see anything by Sennheiser at approximately this price range and quality, that has a closed back.

With the E12, and the E17 available why would you choose E11? I'm trying to learn about these amp's that are offered. (Fiilo) With V-MODA M100's as headphones, do I need an amp at all, and if so, which one and why? Sorry if I sound grumpy, but this is a $139.00 decision, and I don't want to make an error.Thank you in advance.John Gibbs

Sadly, I sold my bike about a month before I bought these, so I haven't tested them in that environment. :^( However, I think these would work fine, plus these are great for any loud environment where you still need to hear people talk. Also, these would be good if you use a device like ScalaRider or Chatterbox. Earasers do have another product called "Peace and Quiet" that seem to block more sound and may be better for highway speeds on a motorcycle, though.

Sure, go ahead and take a bite of the apple, you surely won't die!Seriously, why take the chance. Go with the Skullcandy Ink'd instead. They sound nearly exactly like the more expensive V-Moda Base Freq.

I have not compared, but I generally have not used any active headphones that are acceptable for general use (from a fidelity perspective). As I only want one pair, and flights are a small component for me, I would use these as they seal off ambient noise quite well. I have not used them on a plane yet, but am certain they will not isolate that noise very well. f you can afford two sets and wish to carry two on trips, get noise cancellation. If you want one set and fidelity is key, get a better single set.However, maybe there are great active sets out there that I have not tried.
