Sounds good - I'm emailing him now. A silver cable would work with my white M50's as well as my AKG's, so two birds with one stone. I'm just hoping that the 1.2m length and single side only cable will lower the price a bit.

Reports about M100 said positive things.

Im not familiar with V-moda afterall, for AKG im quite familiar.

Check on v modas website for their replacement cable . Kevlar lined and have versions with the controls and mic as well. Not ure on how many colors. Think grey and black at least.

I was an M-100 first edition owner. Their cables have horrible microphonics, and fray easily.

Agreed, but they do fray, they're stiff, and they mess with the sound if they rub against your clothes. I do like their 45-degree connector, but it doesn't look like anyone else is planning on using that concept - which is a shame.

Cables are the exact same, kevlar coated, microphonics, stuff, etc etc.. The M-100 now and the one from the first release are part of the same production run. One was just released earlier for V-MODA supporters.

M-100 cables, wing plates and shallow pads kinda mess up what would otherwise probably be an unbeatable product.

 

Every person who I've shown the headphone to has been wowed by the sound, but they just have some build quality issues.

Depending on how the K267 sound, I may return my M-100.

I'll be sure to let you know how they compare for sure. I have a partial review written up on them, but never published it. I'll compare what I remember and what I wrote to what I hear once I receive my AKG K267's.

hmm with the news I can use a standard cable and I happen to have one from my Vmoda M80, this headphone is looking a lot more tempting. I really liked the comfort of the MDR-1R but if these have more bass and similar mids and treble they could be a serious contender. Is there any where I can buy now or is it a case of these not being available yet?

Hmph. That's going to cut very close to the end of my test-drive warranty methinks.

You'll have to make a choice then. I sold my M-100's already, so it's up to you.
