New V Moda Crossfade M100 Master
If this is a more refined M-100, the Masters sound promising. I still own the original M-100 along with the XS and the more recent CF ii Wireless Codex. Each can has its own distinct personality and sound sig so it’ll be interesting. The M-100 has always been my fave because of its sound sig...- roma101

V-MODA Forza Series: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.
I don't know those two but I have also had trouble with IEMs in the past and for that reason, I don't have many and mostly use over-ears. These are the first IEMs that have been completely comfortable. They don't feel invasive and I can wear them for long periods. Very stable in the ear as...- roma101

V-MODA Forza Series: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.
Funny, I took my M-100s out today with me along with the Forza that are now kept in my jacket pocket all the time. I think they have a similar sound in terms of the V-MODA house sound with superb, detailed bass. The differences are that the mids are slightly more up front on the Forza and the...- roma101

V-MODA Forza Series: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.
I wear them down with just the wings. There's some microphonics similar to other IEMS, however once I have music on I barely notice it. V-MODA also includes a clip so you can clip the cable to your shirt/jacket and this will help with microphonics. I used to use one with my Etys back in the...- roma101

V-MODA Forza Series: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.
Hey, it depends on which ATH headphone/IEM you're referring to, as many of them sound different, some warmer some not so warm. Generally though, Audio Technicas tend to have a bit more treble in comparison. Which sometimes, may or may not be a good thing when it comes to the genres you are...- roma101

With the Metallo, there were slight microphonics but this is easily fixed if you wear them around your ears like the Zn. Even wearing them down though, it never bothered me. Isolation is the same with or without wings. The wings add more stability and comfort especially if you are active and...- roma101

Review by 'roma101' on item 'V-MODA Forza Metallo'
The following is the review I wrote for the V-MODA Forza Sport Hybrid In-Ear IEM, and I will leave it here as much of it applies to the tee for the Forza Metallo as well. After I picked up the Forza Sport, upon loving them so much, I decided to get the Forza Metallo as well and make the family...- roma101

Been using these non-stop these days on my commute and at work. Basically these have been going with me everywhere whether I have other cans or not. The Zns have been really convenient (love the ear hooks -- very cool to just pull out the earbud to hear something or someone speaking and just...- roma101

Nice impressions glad you're enjoying them as much as I am. ^^ These have been coming with me everywhere, they're getting more ear time than all my other cans. The sound is addicting, especially the bass reproduction and the vocals. I haven't switched out the ear tips yet, might do that one of...- roma101

This ^^ I will add that the only reason to get an M-100 is if you want the folding mechanism. But other wise the CFW is a no-brainer if you want an upgrade when wired and pretty much the same SQ as M-100 when wireless.- roma101

V-MODA Zn: Official Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, Videos, etc.
Ok upon listening some more, I'm hooked on the bass extension and simultaneous impact. I would say the bass is closer to M-100 bass while the mids are reminiscent of the XS. The highs are there but not as sparkly as the M-100. The meat and potatoes of this IEM are the bass and mids, I am...- roma101

I, like you, also prefer my M-100 to the XS (I love the last bit of sparkle on top even though to my ears the XS is a bit more balanced and more neutral across the frequency). But I think I prefer these to the XS too. The Zn seems to be pretty balanced like the XS but they also have a bit more...- roma101

Just received mine and have been putting them through their paces with different genres. So far they sound great with anything I throw at them. The bass has strong impact but never overshadows the midrange, in fact it falls nicely right in line with them. And the midrange is where they shine...- roma101

Reply to review by 'roma101' on item 'V-MODA Crossfade Wireless'
Yes different horses for different courses. I know what you mean. I have the Sony MDR-Z1000 which is on the neutral side, but the CFW is better for on-the-go not only because of portability, but because of its sound sig which I find great for traveling. Would love to try the PM-3s, seems like...- roma101

The Beyerdynamic Tesla DT 1350 Impressions thread
Rebought a pair of DT 1350s. I've owned these a few times and now they're staying with me for good. Love their unique, detailed sound. A very special headphone indeed, glad they're still getting some love. Cheers!- roma101

I think you'll be pleased with the SQ and experience especially without cables. It's already amazing at the MSRP and with a discount attached, I would definitely jump on that. I feel the same way, usually I carry a messenger bag and always have to take off my headphones before I take off the bag...- roma101

Review by 'roma101' on item 'V-MODA Crossfade Wireless'
Just recently received the V-MODA Crossfade Wireless and I got to say, I think the team at V-MODA hit this one out of the park. Just a little on my background -- I have owned the M-80 (which I have since gifted), and I own the XS as well as the M-100 so I have a sense of the V-MODA house sound...- roma101

Same here the SQ in Wireless is my priority as well. The case is also big enough to fit the charger yet small enough to still be portable so those are good points. Yes it was just the wireless and my iPhone 6. My music is in ALAC or I also stream from Spotify. It sounded way better than I...- roma101

Just received mine (Gunmetal CFW) and I think I'm in love. Smiling ear to ear when music started playing, pairing with my iPhone 6. Very organic and natural-sounding, very much like M-100 wired, except I feel like the mids are more upfront on the CFW and there is better balance across the...- roma101
