If this is a more refined M-100, the Masters sound promising. I still own the original M-100 along with the XS and the more recent CF ii Wireless Codex. Each can has its own distinct personality and sound sig so it’ll be interesting. The M-100 has always been my fave because of its sound sig...

  I don't know those two but I have also had trouble with IEMs in the past and for that reason, I don't have many and mostly use over-ears. These are the first IEMs that have been completely comfortable. They don't feel invasive and I can wear them for long periods. Very stable in the ear as...

  Funny, I took my M-100s out today with me along with the Forza that are now kept in my jacket pocket all the time. I think they have a similar sound in terms of the V-MODA house sound with superb, detailed bass. The differences are that the mids are slightly more up front on the Forza and the...

  I wear them down with just the wings. There's some microphonics similar to other IEMS, however once I have music on I barely notice it. V-MODA also includes a clip so you can clip the cable to your shirt/jacket and this will help with microphonics. I used to use one with my Etys back in the...

    Hey, it depends on which ATH headphone/IEM you're referring to, as many of them sound different, some warmer some not so warm. Generally though, Audio Technicas tend to have a bit more treble in comparison. Which sometimes, may or may not be a good thing when it comes to the genres you are...

With the Metallo, there were slight microphonics but this is easily fixed if you wear them around your ears like the Zn. Even wearing them down though, it never bothered me. Isolation is the same with or without wings. The wings add more stability and comfort especially if you are active and...

Finally got a chance to review these. Love both the Metallo and Sport. May the Forza be with you

Been using these non-stop these days on my commute and at work. Basically these have been going with me everywhere whether I have other cans or not. The Zns have been really convenient (love the ear hooks -- very cool to just pull out the earbud to hear something or someone speaking and just...

Nice impressions glad you're enjoying them as much as I am. ^^ These have been coming with me everywhere, they're getting more ear time than all my other cans. The sound is addicting, especially the bass reproduction and the vocals. I haven't switched out the ear tips yet, might do that one of...

This ^^ I will add that the only reason to get an M-100 is if you want the folding mechanism. But other wise the CFW is a no-brainer if you want an upgrade when wired and pretty much the same SQ as M-100 when wireless.

Ok upon listening some more, I'm hooked on the bass extension and simultaneous impact. I would say the bass is closer to M-100 bass while the mids are reminiscent of the XS. The highs are there but not as sparkly as the M-100. The meat and potatoes of this IEM are the bass and mids, I am...

I, like you, also prefer my M-100 to the XS (I love the last bit of sparkle on top even though to my ears the XS is a bit more balanced and more neutral across the frequency). But I think I prefer these to the XS too. The Zn seems to be pretty balanced like the XS but they also have a bit more...

Just received mine and have been putting them through their paces with different genres. So far they sound great with anything I throw at them. The bass has strong impact but never overshadows the midrange, in fact it falls nicely right in line with them. And the midrange is where they shine...
