V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc. - Page 522

So I listened to those songs and to me they the cymbals don't sounds plastiky and sounds as they should.

But then again mine have 11 hours of burn in. So just burn them in maybe overnight and they should be fine.

I don't know how I feel about you all who've been receiving them. I'm jealous but also kind of glad that some of the kinks are getting worked out. Doesn't really seem fair but I'm sure Kolton has your back.

Yeah that's why I wasn't sure if it was just me (as a personal preference/what I'm used to hearing), my headphones not being "burned-in", or my headphone itself. Right now I'm thinking it's just me, but after the 24-hour pink noise session I'll see if anything changed.

There aren't many reported problems with the units we have. Sure there have been some but that's bound to happen even in mass production.

They try their best to ensure the highest quality but sometimes things happen and these units that have minor issues slip by.

But like you said Val will help out the people that are experiencing issues.

Edit: Damn I'm tired (can't spell right now lol) better call it a night

I've had similar happen to a pair of SHR750DJ. Where my plastic thread snapped off there was enough left to find a longer screw grabbing hold. I'd say Vmoda won't repair that section, they'll simply replace the entire wing. Considering you cannot get the part and will need to use that wing for two months I would find a slightly longer screw, drill through the outer plastic using that as thread. The wing is now rendered useless anyway.

You could just glue it with a tiny dot of rubber cement so you can pry it back open when you actually can get it replaced?

 

From this earlier quote, might explain why some did not get there notes.

 

 

2:25 - 2:38  "I don't know, I don't know Italian!" - I'm still not sure if you were being serious but 'VOILA' is a French term to call attention to, express satisfaction or approval, or to suggest an appearance as if by magic.  Pronounced 'vwa-la'.   Regardless of your intent, the muscular tissue in my face involuntarily managed to somehow formulate what most would consider to be a smile.  Thanks for the video.

Ooh, I wonder if Jude is going to make a comment on the M-100's case. Jude said in the Momentum review that he liked the fact that he can put the headphones in the case without having to remove the cable.

I just tried putting the M-100 in the case with the cable still attached and it's able to be zipped up. That allows for a quick-n-easy storage solution.

VAL quick question. just to confirm the "VTF" that I and other head-fi members have will have the same sound as the MP models correct? I think i remember u saying that the sound was "locked" so this PP run is just to work out some possible minor construction/production issues, right?

 

btw I am very happy with my M-100 and it has no cosmetic blemishes or construction issues....and it sounds even better today than it did yesterday

 

That's a crazy picture dude. BTW, who's the 1% of 147 distributed VTF-100 who doesn't like it? Let me have "kind word" with them!!

 

Still diggin' the M-100 sound. The more I listen, the more addicted I am to it. My wife is happy as it makes me more "up to date" with "her generation" ;-).

For now I just have two of the screw in my wing piece and I think I'll leave it like that until I can get a replacement. It's purely aesthetic and doesn't affect how the headphones fit together, but I'm glad the issue is pointed out and Val is looking into fixing it.

Oh man, I am so indecisive...

 

So recently I posted that I've been thinking that I'll go with Shadow M-100s (after first thinking I would do white), and now I'm back to liking white more. I know, I know, good pictures of both have been available for some time, why can't I decide? Well yesterday and today I pulled my Shadow M-80s out for the first time in a while, and I realized that while I like Shadow from far away, up close in person there are a few things I don't like:

1) Glossy black cups

2) Glossy black wingplates

3) The color of the pseudo-suede headband: it's just this odd not-quite-black for me

4) The feel of the headband: that pseudo-suede just feels odd in my hands

5) The stitching: I like it from far away, but up close I can't help but notice that it isn't perfectly straight (and I can see on pics of M-100s that it's the same way)

 

I love the overall concept, and I think the gunmetal shields are the best looking of all the shields, but I think Shadow just doesn't do justice to the overall quality of the headphones. The things I listed cheapen the look and feel of my M-80s. White does away with the psuedo-suede headband and stitching, and from what I've seen it looks like it also does away with the glossy cups and wingplates. Based on pictures and from what I've read, the cups and wingplates of the white M-100s are satin rather than glossy. Can any white M-100 owners confirm?

 

Heck, I'm even considering Matte Black now too...just the ultimate for exuding quality because it completely lacks any shiny cheapness. Only thing with them is that I like having a noticeable "v-moda" on top of the headband, and it's barely noticeable on the matte black. Decisions, decisions...
