I fail to see how they have changed... anything significant compared to M-100 that can be measured or is on the spec sheet? "Roland tuning" does not really mean much. Are they hinting that they got rid of V-shaped signature? If that's the case, portable/fun headphone companies rarely get it...

Yeah judging from the photos.. Sorry.

Half a month till Sennheiser Momentum 3. https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/cph671/sennheiser_momentum_3_and_ie80s_wireless_on_the/

HD1, both wired and wireless, are on a on/off sale for about a couple of years now. There are no indicators things will change in 2019. Sennheiser is losing Bluetooth wars pretty bad, and Apple will only add to the competition in 2019 or 2020. Honestly, not a lot of great audiophile models from...

Sony's cracking headband is not only a wide-known issue (easily googleable, discussed here and on Reddit), it's has a meme status now, so neglecting it won't help. It's the only thing that is terribly wrong with 1000X—if we're speaking ANC headphones specifically—of which there are not many...

I can name three scenarios. Wearing it. Both released iterations of Sonys have a known defect with the cracking headband. In many reported cases, Sony won't honor the guarantee. They've shown no intention to fixing the issue—iteration 3 does seem to have the exact same construction. Running it...

I've basically ended up with the FiiO i1. Reasonable quality, but really weird form factor: a very long cable, not comfortable to wrap, and remote only works on their cable, not on my headphones. Probably Apple's limitations? I've ended up moving back to Apple's DAC dongle. Thing sucks, breaks...

No, but there is no reason to: they work great off a mini jack and they work better with an amp.

They are for wired gaming only, with the BoomPro. AptX and AAC have high latency, and it is most likely that for gaming use your headset will switch to a handsfree codec, making sound significantly worse. For wireless gaming, look for a gaming headset with a proprietary adapter. Same is true...

It is for me. It's still bassy but not super V-shaped. M-100 is definitely not for all genres or attitudes. XS/CFW2 is more universal IMO. I definitely prefer it, even though I'm not getting the bass rumble of M-100. Easier to recommend if you don't know the exact genres of the person, but risky...

Got my CFW2 Codex edition, used the exchange coupon. So far, this is the first V-MODA since M-100 I can truly recommend. For primarily wireless use as well. It does support AAC, there is barely any hissing (duh) and the radio is really well done. Too bad they've screwed up their community...

I don't really agree. Any apology, by definition, starts with the acknowledgment of the wrongdoing. A cheating husband who buys his wife flowers on the way home is not "apologizing". The $100 upgrade price is, in fact, a very good deal. However, their usual (amazing!) lifetime upgrade discount...

Okay, time to get visual. Share or bookmark if you're still interested.

Nah, the second feature, though it sounds ridiculous, is the added availability of AptX on non-pretentious colors. Also, still a problem with them not apologizing.

Now we're talking, $150 off the C2W I guess for the upgrade. Still zero feedback from Val on those forums, not a single sorry for the screwup or for being unclear/advertising falsely. Wonder if that is something Roland forcing him to do.
