The only thing holding me back from getting the white ones is how easily dirty the headband and case will get...
Tool does sound exceptional on M-100s. It's that driven bass guitar and the ever energetic drums; very well mastered, and the M-100s showcase it rather well. Maynards vocals are a liiiittttle distant, but the vocals aren't mixed in very upfront to begin with.
I really liked The Pot and 46 And 2 on the M-100s. If you dig Tool on M-100s, Pelican, Isis, and Mastodon are some other great bands on the M-100s. These bands kinda vary in style, but fans of Tool will find Isis easy to get into.

The headband doesn't dirty easily, but the case does. I put my case inside a plastic bag before I throw it into my backpack. Weirdly, the white case doesn't get grey when it gets dirty. It turns a bright green color when it gets rubbed or dropped.
Is it easy to clean the headband/case when it gets dirty?
Think this photo's sold me on white when I get a pair of M100s, at least if white pads are offered.
Am I the only one turned off from white V-Modas because of the dark gray pads (and stripe on the band)? If the stripe was silver (like the V-Moda plate) and with white pads..
Ahhhhhhhh im getting my vmodas in 2 weeks everyday I will track! I upgraded from weak ath m-50s. In no way I will add another equipment amp to my mobility! Lets hope these vmodas are a keeper ! Im so hyped and excited straight research with free time to make my mind up! I want the theatre soundstage so ima do one of those mods! I love the word mod btw !! Cant wait!! Was going to buy solos and mod it but I wanna rep m-100s!
I wouldn't say the sound stage is movie theater-like but it's not bad for a closed headphone.
Speaking of theaters though, during a study session at school yesterday, my friend randomly grabbed my portable rig (iPhone 4 -> FiiO L3 -> JDS Labs C5 -> M-100) and started listening to his music via YouTube. I had the bass boost on since I was previously using the rig on the bus.
Long story short, my friend suddenly exclaimed "HOLY C$#@ it sounds like I'm in a movie theater!". I then turned the bass boost off and he exclaimed "wow, this actually sounds pretty good".
So I guess I'm not the only person who thinks of the bass boost as "movie theater bass-boost".

Loooooooooool, iono man but when i hear stage sound i think theatre like but thats pretty cool! Im rocking a lightning to 30 pin adp. On my 5 and the fiio volume control for amp but it aint do me good with the m-50s.
Btw why didnt you get Objective2 instead of c-5?
Is because the c-5 is portable with battery? Id love to have the ob2 and odac to my home theatre soon!
Btw whats the next upgrade headphone that has the portability and flexibility and durability from the m-100s?
[*] The volume control has practically no channel imbalance (difference between the L/R channels) at low volume levels, whereas the O2 does, so it's helpful for low-volume listeners such as myself

Here is an idea I wish V-MODA will take up on: offer independent custom colors and logos for the left and right shields. I think this will get a lot more interesting colors and logos combo options for people.
