I can't speak for the recess, but the entire cup is angled forward as opposed to the jack, but both cups are symmetrical (thus the straight-down jack) for manufacturing ease, and I suppose cost by extension.

I received both of these as a gift, and I trialed both briefly for a day indoors, but I'm not much of an IEM kind of person. Both come with all the original accessories, earbuds, brush, cables, packaging, etc. No extra PayPal fees, but shipping fees are not included. If you're in the DFW, you...

I tried making the move to IEM, but it wasn't for me. I used these three times with one of the rubber tips, always at my desk and never outside. It comes with all the original accessories, ear tips, cables, etc., and the original packaging. Essentially it's like-new. No extra PayPal fees...

I got these in 2020, but I moved recently, and my new setup doesn't have desk space. Both are 115V and in excellent condition; the Bifrost has a mark on the logo that I never could wipe off, although I didn't try very hard for fear of damaging the logo itself. It comes with original power...

XM5 I used it out of the house twice, and it's been in its case ever since. The cables are brand new, I never used 'em. Comes with all original everything, case, outer packaging, documentation, etc. No extra PayPal fees, but shipping is not included. If you're in the DFW, you can also come to...

Yeah, there's a tiny one on one side. Guess I shouldn't sweat it, but it definitely strikes me as odd that a serial in between two provided with wooden boxes would have different packaging.

33xx, that's mildly concerning actually. I wonder if it's possible I picked up a fake?

Do newer serials not come with the wood box anymore? Picked up a secondhand pair and it has a cardboard box.

  V4A. Viper 4 Android. Hands down the best "app." Requires root though. 

  I'd do it if I knew how, providing it's not a huge ordeal. :p If you could link some resources I'll give it a shot. 

  My shields came the same way. Probably a tempering thing tbh. If you're a DIY kinda guy, you could just go over it with fine grit sand paper and get a matte finish. 

  I think they left just enough differences for the M100 to survive. Different colorways than CFW, dual 3.5mm ports w/ the locking mechanism, CliqFold. Plus w/ the sound signatures being a little bit different, it could come down to preference. To be honest, it's either they were trying to...

  Rule #47 of business, don't release products that cannibalize the sales of your existing products. CFW with CliqFold = No M100 sold without discounting the price. 

  Man, really? I can't go out 10 feet from my phone. Starts getting static-y. Very frustrating. 

  There's an app called Package Disabler Pro on the play store. No root necessary. Insanely useful and easy for debloating. 

Man. I got my replacement cable and the microphone still isn't being picked up by a lot of my devices. Could it be the headphones then?

  You mean for mic? PS4 doesn't support 3rd party bluetooth headsets so they can push their own proprietary ones. Kinda dumb. 

  Man whaaat. Looks like it's time to hit up customer service for me..

  Yep. The SpeakEasy mic does not get recognized by the PS4. 

Just as a warning, these AREN'T compatible with PS4. At most you can listen to the audio through them wired, but the mic won't get picked up. Also Skype calls (on my phone) through BT, the audio seems to be muddy whereas wired there's no issues. 

  Shouldn't be, I swapped out the shields the moment I got the headphones in. Only my second day in though (ordered the GM), so we'll see. Hope this isn't a widespread issue. 

  Oh goodness, that doesn't bode well. You have either the White or Chrome, right? I remember you had them before we (GM/Rouge) did. 

It occurs to me, what's the max safe amps for charging this? Don't want accidentally plug this into my S6 charger and burn it out. @valkolton 

  I feel like a factory tour is only significant if it's V-Moda's factory here in the States. I'm pretty sure it's just outsourced to Guangdong or wherever in China. 

  Still no headphones though. Cry.
