Does the Vmoda Wireless has the Foldable hinge like the M100?

No.

They do not, only the m-100 wired and XS (on ear) have hinges

Against my better financial judgment, I ordered the M-100s tonight (white/silver) and the XL pads. Got out the door for $181 which is really a great steal. It would have been about 10 dollars less but the $10 cheaper version was black (not my favorite) and the seller gave no good detailed description of what exactly I was buying. I really got these for future airplane travel and due to the fact that I listen to a lot of synthwave/electronic type stuff, I figured it may be beneficial just to have another pair of headphones that covered the bases the XS and my Sennheisers (558, 600) didn't. My very limited experience with these in Best Buy from the kiosk with pre-programmed music has left me a good impression with them so far.

I really like my M-100s, and I wish that it was V-MODA, rather than Massdrop, that cleverly titled their ad with the Eminem song title "Forget About Dre!" (and I actually very much like Beats by Dr.Dre headphones!)

If finances permit, you might also want to consider getting the V-MODA VERZA DAC/amp. It does improve the sound, plus has the most clever sliding case you can also get for the various shapes of iPhones and I think Samsungs.

My M-100, VERZA DAC / amp, and Metalo case with matching cord

VERZA further improved V-MODA sound (higher numbers are better)

Good looking and practical form factor, but purely from a power standpoint it's not enough for the m100 imo. They can handle much more than the 150mW the verza puts out. The fiio e12 and cayin c5 are good options for these cans.

  anyone know what kind of "screw driver the m100/ xs " uses? i'm using the ones that came with my xs and either the tool bent or the screws on my 100 got warped
 
which is odd because today was the first day i tried unscrewing the shields out on my m100s (tried to do the tap mod, on the vent) to see if it could lower the bass a bit--> guess i can't do it now
 
and the name of the screws as well? maybe i could replace it?

 
Did we ever figure out the type of screw or name of the screw? Where to obtain?

Here is the driver wrench that I bought especially for my V-MODA shields...1.5mm straight allen wrench driver.

The reason I'm asking is because there's a pair on Ebay right now with a missing screw. I was wondering how easy it would be to obtain the screw or what size screw it was and repair the headphones.

You can try email V-MODA as just asking for a few. I lost the V-Cork on my pair if M-100 and they sent me a new one free of charge.

They absolutely will not send screws. They weren't even going to tell me the size of the screw until I threatened to post the chat online in the M-100 threads over here. They told me to send in the merchandise for a 2-3 week turnaround time and I told them that was unacceptable, that I just wanted to buy a screw on my own that would fit. They finally sent me the schematics of the screw which the chat agent asked that I not post online. But just in case you're wondering, it's a ----> 1.6mm <---- screw ----[3mm length] ---- it appears. I'll see if I can get some online or in the hardware store, unless they're some type of special screw that only V-Moda makes.

Perhaps, stuck limo -- knowing what you know -- you could verify if the screws listed here look fit for the task?:

The specs look promising (M1.6 socket head screws that take a 1.5mm hex key)...We would just need to be sure the 0.35mm thread pitch is the same, and to know what the preferred length would be (i.e. 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, or 6mm).
 
Kinda silly that they're so protective of this information, IMO.

What you need is "M1.6 Hex Socket Head Cap Self Tapping Screws", and I am still looking for a good source for you.

Is this something that is in production outside of V-Moda then?

I have updated the original post to show the 3mm length of the screw. The pitch is unknown. But those look like they would work. The head is a little thicker but that shouldn't be an issue. If the pitch is an issue there, I don't know.

Yes of course.  In fact, I already found a manufacturer in China that makes it.  However, they don't do retail, and I don't think you want to buy it by the metric ton.

Also, there is a eBay seller with a box of mixed hex tapping screws that contains M1.5 and M1.7.
