V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc. - Page 776

Ive got another question. I'd rather have the sound stage in front of me, so by flipping the left earcup to the right earcup and whatever, flipping it around, it won't effect the sound quality right, just the instruments will be in other places?

Erm, the channels will simply flip, so right will become left, and left will become right. The sound stage will remain the same.

I suggest you try the pad mod (add tissues at the top and bottom of the cups)

If they help the sound alot, buy the LP/LP2 pads or wait for the XL

Yeah I did the pad mod and it still comes from behind.

If you have an ipod, go to the eq settings, and change the setting to treble boost. It helped when I had them. 

How would that help the soundstage?

I have ESW9 now, would the M100 be a good upgrade?

The ESW9's are known for their lush midrange, and the M-100's do have a pretty lush midrange, but it's laid-back in presentation. I haven't heard the ESW9's in-person so that might be something to consider. I once considered getting an ESW9 myself.

Given that the LP/LP2 pads give even more improvements over the paper towel mod

If you don't mind slightly grainy treble, less bass impact, and a more forward midrange, I'd say it's worth a shot. It's not a perfect solution, but I think it does help.

Is it possible to use an external amplifier with an audio channel (stupid wording, I meant voice channel; of course it will support an audio channel)? When I try to Skype someone with the Boom Pro Mic cable, the microphone doesn't seem to work when hooked-up to the Objective 2.

Not sure if any amps would have a passtrough for the voice channel of a 4 conductor TRRS plug. If your trying to use it with you're computer you could get a VoIP adapter like this (there are other ones that cost less, but I knew V-Moda had one and didn't want to take time snooping around amazon to find a different one)

Ah I see. I was talking about the amp mostly. Some people were talking about the VoIP adaptor earlier in the thread.

LOL seriously? I'm a Seattle-ite but I'm not at SEATAC right now. How's the fog down there?

-25 F?  I'm Canadian and that made me instantly cold just reading that. 

Were you in Antarctica?

Yes, I just got that VoIP adapter for my M-100 and the DragonFly with the 3 button cable, and it is working good for Skype and TeamSpeak.  You will need this for the AMP if you want to keep the mic channel open for records / captures.  If you need one that has straight plugs or longer than 4 inches, the VoIP adapter from Razer maybe better for you.
