Due to the recent price drop of the v moda crossfades to $200 i'm wondering if it is worth the $100 more than the m50's. I listen mostly to techno/trance music and have tried the crossfades, and love their sound, but ive never listened the m50's. Any advise would be useful.

i have the m50s, and i absolutely love them to death. The comfort is great. IMO the bass is extended with emphasis on the sub bass, the upper mids are a bit recessed, and the highs are nice and detailed without being sibilant or harsh. I haven't heard the Crossfades so i cant comment. But for a $100 the m50s are a steal imo. Hope this helps! 
Thanks

Am I currently making this decision as well. From what people say, the M50 has a overall better sound signature, while the crossfades are significantly worse in sound but better in the looks department.
