V-MODA Crossfade M-80 Reviews - Page 145

How are these size wise? I've read that they could be a problem for those with rather large heads, which I have and I'm thinking about buying these so I just want to make sure. I've had a couple of WesC phones earlier which to me don't look any bigger than the m80's. Should I worry about this?

These headphones are quite small. I have a large head also, they couldn't fit on my head completely but after I bend the headband for awhile they seem to fit better :)

Cheers for the reply. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if and when I get em. Hopefully it won't be too bad. 

Awesome headphones. Got mine in black..had the V-80 model (True Blood) but they broke after 25 days (not sure if it was the cable or the circuit inside the headphones..and got the M-80 black model. Just wow!! Now looking for a DAP to get or a v good mp3/flac player :P

Also ordered the white version for my brother for X-mas, I bet he will be O_O

Do most of you wear them so the pads are covering most of your ear or does anyone wear them farther forward/back? My ears basically stick out a few millimeters on the top/back/bottom, haven't worn them for too long a session yet to see how the pressure will be...
I imagine the pads haven't adjusted yet either, tho I don't mind the fit as is.

I have had the M80s for a little less than a week, I have larger than average ears (they are 65mm from top to bottom, that's the adult average, but I'm 15 so I consider it larger than average) when I got them I HATED the comfort, could barely wore them for more than 45 mins, but I read how the comfort got better and wore them hours a day even if my ears hurt like hell, I already got used to them and now I can wear them for hours with almost no discomfort. so if anyone is getting them and hates the comfort at first, give them a few days/weeks

No, I returned the V-80 and got the M-80 (which was cheaper anyway)..I got V-80 in the first place just because I am a fan of the True Blood TV Show.

There are things I noticed though between the two versions. I guess that the V-80 has been produced for a limited time in 2011 and that's it. When I got the M-80 (3 weeks ago), it seems like they made the case a bit smaller and from another material (even though looks the same). Also my ears don't hurt that much with the M-80 like with the V-80. This made me think they upgraded/improved the latests batches of M-80 with things like the memory foam material that it's in the earpads..feels softer.

Another thing I notice is that it is written on the instructions of M-80 to register on V-Moda website with the serial number and some warnings of counterfeit..on the V-80 didn't see anything like this (since it was among the first batches I guess). Also inside the case of M-80 there was a clip which had a sticker saying to attach that to the cable (and stick it to clothes) so the noise from the microphone it's reduced (due to several complaints I noticed on forums). So yeah..they added/did small things on the new batches of M-80 maybe! (don't know how was M-80 when it was released though but I suppose the same as V-80).  The build quality between the two is the same.

Overall, uber happy with my M-80. I am curious how the white version will look like/sound when my brother opens the box :) I am expecting it to be the same.

I have the whites :). I saw someone that had the V-80 and later got the M-80 in white and he commented as well how the pads on the M-80 where softer...

Mine came with a registration sticker on the manual that has a QR which automatically enters your serial number on the site (very cool), the two cables, carabiner, and a card advertising the custom shields and offering a 20% discount that's only good thru year's ends (/groan).

No Speakeasy cable...  Yh got the same registration sticker with QR code. 

Here is a pic with the clip (can't add images yet) https://www.dropbox.com/s/buikyc1xnotetcp/20121210_120230.jpg

I will have to part ways with me M-80 soon. Its been over a month and the comfort is not that great. It got better, but it still hurts. Also the right side of mine, when i pinch the forked thing, it squeaks. Annoying when I move my jaws, which causes it to squeak, too. I love it's sound, but wouldn't mind the sub-bass being stronger by 2dB. Any recommendation of a great looking/sounding replacement headphone that's comfortable?
