    V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.

    Pretty much exactly my experiencing with them so far.  I also agree with you guys, but I think the sound does change quite noticeably. They still retain their V-shape, but now they're much more audiophile-like with respect to their other sonic qualities, losing a lot of what made them fun in...

    Some initial impressions with the XL pads:   - soundstage is definitely more spacious. Now, instead of listening through a long hallway, it's more of a natural, spread out sound - bass lost some of its rumble and gained a bit more punch, likely due to the better seal - mids sound more laid...

    So my pads surprisingly arrived today. I've spent over an hour trying to remove one of my pads off. The amount of force I've applied to them is unreal, yet it still won't come off. The other side came off easily enough, but this one is just ridiculous.   edit; after another 30 minutes and a...

      If you want a more balanced sound (based on the experiences from people in this thread who have the XL pads) from your M-100s or want even more comfort, sure. If you prefer the original V-shaped sound signature then no.   While I knew changing pads would change the sound signature, I'm a...

      Ah, true. Forgot about Headphone Bar, but that's only available if you live around Vancouver since they don't have any other locations. If you want to demo them anywhere else in Canada, such as in Toronto like myself, you'll have to buy them off Amazon or V-Moda directly for their return policy.

      There aren't any places to demo V-Moda products in Canada as far as I know unless you go to a Head-Fi meet. I wanted a bass-centric, fun pair of cans for portability and the M-100s seemed to fit the bill best so I took a chance and ordered them when I saw Amazon.com had a sale (had to return...

      The clamp of the M-100s is great since the headband can be molded to the shape of your head. Pad-wise though, after ~30 minutes my ears start feeling uncomfortable and after an hour, I have to take them off and rest for 5 minutes or so because they become very painful for me. I have regular...

      Damn, my condolences. I guess I'll just stick with the squeaky wingplate since I don't want to end up with a broken one instead =/

    V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.

    After playing with it since yesterday, I noticed that the left wingplate seems to be squeaking whenever I adjust the ear cup. It isn't a big issue, but I have slight OCD in that I want everything to be relatively the same. Will tightening the screws on the wingplate fix the squeaking? I don't...

    Finally got my M-100s from the Amazon.ca deal. No hinge problems this time so I'm really happy. Seems to be a small paint finishing issue on one of the bands that hold the ear cups, but it's barely noticeable so I'm fine with it; definitely better than a faulty hinge at least. Now I'm just...

    For Canadians, Futureshop is having a VIP sale today and have the Momentums for $279.99. Some Futureshop locations will also add an additional 15% off at checkout, call in to make sure since it's YMMV. I picked up a pair today for $237.99 before tax.

    Quote: Hot. Amazingly, Amazon.ca offering a good deal compared to their American counterpart. Ships in 10-12 weeks with due date around November, but at that price, I'll wait. Thanks!

    Extremely disappointing. I thought it'd be at least 25% since they were hyping the sale up so much. Guess I'll stick with my HA-S500s.

    Quote: I think for most people, at least from what I've read and experienced, the M-100s generally start of comfortable and then slowly get more uncomfortable past ~30 minutes when the pads start to deflate and causes your ears to touch the drivers. Like others have said, you can buy them...
