yea, they are definitely more comfortable now than when i first got them, but the pad depth will always be an issue until new ones are released. i listen to m-100 for 30 min sessions at a time and then theres no problem whatsoever. past 30 min, forget about it  

By portable I mean an over-ear with good isolation, very comfortable, and a manageable cord.   As far as Sound goes I'm looking for a relatively balanced sound with a slight emphasis on Mids and Bass.   I own the v-moda M-100 and i like it a lot, but am looking for something else...

I can't wait for the DD pads either! My ears hurt like hell after 30+ minutes of listening which is really unfortunate 'cause other than the comfort issue M-100 is my favorite portable. I don't even need the pads to be bigger, just deeper. When they compress after 10 minutes or so of being on...

WEIRD

yea, on my M-100 the left earcup is solidly connected to the "v-fork" but the right earcup can move about on the right "v-fork"....hasn't really been a problem so far its just annoying that i can pop the cup in and out of place, but hopefully it doesn't become a problem.   so far literally...

HOLY BASS!

Quote: EXACTLY.

just out of curiousity, when are other Head-fi members such as Jude, Tyll, ect. going to post official reviews for M-100? they have had pairs for awhile right? so far only Anak has posted an official review on the M-100 page

hahah you're right. man m-100 goes DEEP....and no, im not just looking for bass, which is why i love M-100. detailed with nice treble extension (without being harsh), but still has massive bass when it is called for...maybe it's only because i haven't heard them in awhile, but from memory M-80...

Put on your M-100s and feel the PURRRR  

umm..idk i used the cable it came with  

so if the M-100 sounds really good to me at 80% on my ipod that that mean that it's easy to drive?...or does that just mean i don't understand amps? lol

So i just tried the FiiO E6 with my M-100 and...i don't it....i would never need to listen to a volume over 100% on my ipod and i don't need the bass boost because it has enough bass already plus i find it makes the overall sound less detailed and more like my friends beats pro. i guess i was...

yea i don't really listen to jazz and classical music i'll admit, but i listen to rock from 1940-present, rap/hip hop, electronic, motown, techno, acoustic, folk, ect. and i think m-100 handles it all ranging from pretty well to fantastic. my friend's $400 beats pro don't sound nearly as good...

just finished downloading the entire Beatles discography in 320kbps, sounds so good on my m-100s! I guess i'm in the minority here, but i find M-100 to be pretty damn versatile with genres. But anak and many others disagree i guess....i mean yea, they aren't reference headphones they are...
