and idk about anyone eltse but my Vmoda Lp2s transformed completely after about 1000+hours... i know this sounds crazy but i really think this is the same with the m100. i believe its because of the weight that the drivers have and the diver material is very stiff-how eltse could it make bass like that without the driver flopping around like crazy? this is a theory of mine and could be psychological. but i did notice a difference after about 8months after owning them. i have had them since early 2011 when they came out .
Somebody mentioned the same about the LP´s. He was talking about a burning in of more than 300-400h, and a huge improvement in detail.
Again, break-in of just the driver (i.e. via pink noise), or regular usage (i.e. earpads reshaping, getting used to the sound, etc.)? You'll likely get different results depending on which method, and the first of the two would be more indicative of actual driver break-in.
I would like to buy the M-100s but after reading so much about the pain-of-ear cups I have two questions
1. I wear prescription glasses, are they going to be okay to wear with them? If it makes a difference I wear IC Berlin glasses and the ear hooks on those are straight, not the typical curved ones.
2. What is the maximum head size circumference for wearing these comfortably (not 30 minutes use but 2-3 hours) and without stretching out the headband. Could someone that finds them comfortable for several hours use measure their head please? im coming from HD 598/555 so my standard of comfort is very high
Edit: Before anyone asks me to find a pair to try on, I can not find them where I live!
Thanks!

mostly music like this or music that has enormous amounts of bass

i would say the pads didn't take long to form to my head, maby a month i bent them past flat a couple of times because the head clamp was very strong . i listened to my LP2s every day for 2-6 hours on average sometimes a lot more especially when i fly..12 hour flights suck less with them caressing my brain. when i first got them i did 4hour burn in sessions and 2 hours total music time on the subway total for the first 5 days so i figured that was "enough" and than proceeded with my normal 2-6 hours of real head time with my music. about 40 volume on the e17 and they just kept getting better. maby thats brain burn but i think 30 min of listening on any can is enough for your brain to get used to a pair of headphones. IMO i really like these as every day headphones that emulate being at an edm show(i think even better)and they dont ever hurt my ears.
I did a pure pink noise only break-in period for the M-100, I didn't touch them for nearly a week, and I heard no noticeable differences in sound quality after 140+ hours. 1000+ hours seems ridiculous for a headphone to magically change its sound; yes, let me buy a headphone and not use it for 42 days to let it get to its best sound potential. Every review for the M-100 is now rendered inaccurate due to lack of burn-in.

Rudeboybass is talking about the LP2, which is a completely different headphone driver-wise than the M-100. He is just saying that he noticed a difference in clarity in those headphones, after a X number of hours.
A driver includes a mechanical system that is the responsible of reproducing the noise, and as every mechanical system, it suffers from wear, fatigue and all those processes that affect them.
The statement that burn-in can make a difference in noise is something that has already been demonstrated empirically (I read an article not very long ago). I don´t really understand what is the big deal with him stating he noticed a difference, even more when as I said he is not the first person stating that. Personally, I am not very good at noticing slight changes in the sound, so I don´t really care, but I don´t feel like the guy to tell him: "What!? Are you insane or something".
In my personal experience the development in sound properties of a headphones is very similar to the evolution of power delivery of a car engine: Some of them don´t evolve at all, some of them evolve really fast during the first thousands of miles, some of them take even more than 100.000 miles to give the best of themselves. Of course, the usage influences on it but, in the end, the change comes sooner or later.
Again, LP2 and M-100 are NOT the same headphone.

I contacted v-moda some days ago for the same reason...Cracked left earcup and I never exchanged shields. Very disappointing as it seems a common issue and all the statements about v-moda products quality are a bit excessive...
They told me to apply for warrranty claim here: http://v-moda.com/warranty/ and then to ship back headphones. But I am from Italy and ship to USA it's quite slow (or expensive if I ship with a fast service) so I have to stay without headphones for at least one month if not more . Why I have to pay for something that is not my fault? Quite disappointed from v-moda...
