V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc. - Page 162

I really just wish I could afford them when these come out. :P

Being a kid and living with parents has its benefits; 100% of my McWage goes towards nice things.

Hmm, I've been following this thread quietly until now but I guess I will post with something productive. I honestly don't think it's that hard to read/search through this thread for info, but it's not worth getting butt hurt when people do ask questions. So here's a short thread summary.

 

The V-Moda M-100s...

 

...are closed circumaural cans meant keep in step with the M-80s more audiophile-pleasing sound signature.

...will most certainly be an upgrade SQ wise from the M-80s.

...have hinges, so they will be foldable.

...will be using 50mm drivers.

...have a secret additional feature that has not yet been revealed.

...do not require an amp, but will scale well if you decide to use one.

...do not have a definite price yet, but are estimated to cost around $300.

...are current expected to be released somewhere around late July to early August.

...will be released in two colors--White/Silver and Shadow.

...will use the same custom shields as the LPs/LP2s. You can get the shields for 20% off using the promo code M-100MANIA.

...will come with a case, 3 cables, and a 3.5 mm to 1/4 in plug. The 3 cables are an audio only cable, and iphone compatible cable with controls and a mic, and an android compatible cable with a mic.

^Circumaural, not supra aural. And I think it is reasonable to expect people to read ~10 pages back to find information, anything more is expecting too much from people who have other useful things to do with their lives. This forum does get some lengthy threads, although it isn't nearly as bad as XDA Developers (the most bothersome thing is being told to read the thread when many ROM threads get to, I kid you not, 7,000+ pages). Anyways, an early August launch would work fine for me if that's what it takes to fine tune the M-100s to the best they can be.

Fixed, thanks. I wrote super-aural thinking it was the same, but looks like it's a synonym for supra-aural. My bad. And I don't think it's unreasonable for people to read back, I thought I would just compile some basic info to be nice.

You expect a person who has never been on this forum/doesn't know it that well to know that information was 10 pages back?  Even further, if a person knew it was 10 pages back, they would have looked for it...  You expect them to do something they can't because they don't know. 

I'm up for a good argument most of the time... But, this one seems a bit silly to have here.  I'm not saying it's not a worthy topic to debate, but really... How much does determining how many pages is reasonable to expect someone to review before asking have to do with the M-100 itself? It looks like an argument that could be had elsewhere.  Just sayin'.

Everyone here should take a chill pill!  This is probably the third time we've had this argument in this thread. :P

 

(irony at its finest)

Pretty cool of you to do and that should certainly help people

Yes it was quite helpful, with page references to gold nuggets and everything. While I would also mention the improved "Super mic" that was announced but not fully revealed, I would simply quote your post if/when someone new to the thread asks for info, with updates since your post added. That's probably going to be the easiest solution for the thread regulars going forward, since I haven't seen a post from the OP in a couple months.

The other option, of course, is that newbies could just search Valkolton posts within this thread... They would hit most of the relevant data, and I imagine more sound impressions will be added as time goes on. Still, thanks for your index!

Shouldn't we all be happy?  M-100 so close to launching into our greedy, sweaty little hands. I got the perma-smile thing goin' on and lovin' it!

This photo is both appropriate and creeping me out.
+1?

I think the best coarse of action is once the M-100 is launched a proper impressions thread should be created with the original poster updating the first post with any and all impressions. I'm thinking of doing it myself nut I don't want to be pushy about it or look like I'm stealing Val's forum thunder

 

I like this idea.  Unless the OP of this thread can start updating the original post with the important information in a nice readable format (EG, formatted and organized).  Otherwise, I think this is the best way about it so we don't run into "What has been said about the M-100" questions people are getting worked up about. 

Agreed - this repeats what I stated a few posts ago. 

 

I can create the "Launch" impressions/review thread once we have a concrete ship/release date - that way people won't have to go through 175+ pages of info here to find simple info. I'll be sure to use BlackCoffeex1's info he gathered, with links to each nugget - as well as official links to the V-MODA page and such.

 

This will be the anticipation/feedback to V-MODA thread, while the other one will be the launch/impressions/reviews thread.
