V-Moda Crossfade LP vs Klipsch Image One?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hello to all

 

Ive been doing a lot of research on headphones lately via google and amazon and a lot of my searchs wind up coming back to here so I figured i'd make an account. I do realize that there are threads on both of these, but i didnt find a comparison thread so I figured i would just make one.  Anyways, I recently purchased a pair of klipsch image one's about a month ago with a fiio e11 amp and it sounds great (to my ears).  That being said, I dont have any prior experience listening to any real "quality" headphones (most of my experience has been with skullcandies and low end earbuds which i now know was a pretty terrible investment).  Today I saw on amazon the V-moda crossfade LPs for $80 and after quickly reading around for some reviews i went ahead and bought them figuring they were a steal for that price (and they looked pretty sweet imo).  My question to you all is if anyone has tried both, what is your preference and why?

 

if you havent tried any of them, what would you reccommend for listening to mainly Dubstep, Progressive House, and other electro genres. I have to admit I am a bass head, and i like to feel the thump.  But at the same time i really appreciate my highs and mids as well. Price is really not an object here although i will be traveling with them and i would assume that most portables are under $300 (even though beats are more than 300$ but i think we can all agree they are horribly overpriced).  Before you suggest Sony XB's, I do care about how the headphones look and i think the XB's look ridiculous and i would never wear them in public XD.

 

YES I posted in this in another section but i now realize that this probably the more appropriate section.

 

Thank you all for the help.

I don't think either one has great sound, but for around $70-80 (which is what I paid for each), I have been pleased with both. The V-Moda are heftier and better-built, just way nicer quality, but the Klipsch are smaller, lighter and generally more portable. They have somewhat similar sound signatures, but the Klipsch have better imaging and soundstage to my ears, and are probably slightly more refined or less rich, depending on your viewpoint, and are less dark. Sonically, I probably prefer the Klipsch. There are people here who harshly criticize both for the amount of bass, but after a few minutes with either, I don't find myself focusing on it, as I sometimes do with other bassy headphones. I have never listened to either one with an outboard amp.
