V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc. - Page 773

Does anyone know how the isolation on these compare to the Sennheiser Momentum? 

M-100 is better for me as they provide a superior seal.  Momentums are billed as circumaural but are really supra-aural for anyone except those with the smallest ears.

That's good to know! I get a good seal w/ the Momentum, though my ears aren't particularly small, but as soon as the environment gets really noisy, they don't give as much isolation as I was hoping. Normal room noise they do fine, but not Starbucks rush noise... Sounds like the M100 would do better. 

If I am watching tv and put on my M-100, the tv volume is cut in half to my ears with no music on.  Once I turn the music on, I hear nothing around me except the music.

At "normal" listening volume for both? That could be a good subjective test. Thanks!

This is a little bit of an exaggeration.  My ears are not that small and they fit just fine.  Tyll even said in his review that the cups match the size of the average male ear.  The small sample size here on Head-fi has skewed toward the cups being small, but I will take Tyll's measurements and statistics over a sample size of 6 any day of the week.  They could certainly be considered somewhat small, just not only for those "with the smallest ears".

Not wanting to get off topic here, but I agree with the general conclusion that the cups match average size ears well. 

From Innerfidelity's measurements, the Momentum has a bit more noise isolation compared to the M-100. The treble region has a lot more isolation with the Momentum over the M-100, but the mid-midrange and lower-midrange frequencies are more or less the same (M-100 has slightly more isolation).

Guys why does the sound stage seem to be coming from behind me?
