Quote: A shame, that's one of the things I was hoping to see come out.  They are presumably the same size as the LP2, and those are kind of in the middle between being on ear and over the ear (for me at least).  I'm on the cusp of being able to wear them as over the ear, and have to put...

Quote: It's not outlandish (depending on how many copies we're talking).  Once written and proofed, they could reasonably have the manuals printed and ready to go in a couple days.  What I think is going to be the biggest holdup in that, is actually packaging the units (which they may do...

Quote:   The derail becomes more and more irrelevant... At least the beats convo was relevant in that it was used as a common reference point to compare V-Moda (and an aspect it is better on).  Why are we bringing shields up again at all?

Quote: Is it really that bad, when we only use it to point out that V-Moda is better?

Quote: I'm guessing it's like the LP2 on that... If that is the case, it isn't too bad.

Quote: If it's like on my LP2's, it's kind of a matte black (with lines in it, like it was applied with a paint brush).

Quote: OMG!  Val did you see this one?  This one is pure win right here.  Honestly, I think this one looks better than any other color scheme I've seen to date on your headphones.  The shadow is very nice, but this one even trumps that by a longshot.  Forget chrome, forget teal, forget...

Quote: I have to agree with this.  I'd like it, even though I don't have a watch to match it.  As far as new colors go, I like this way more than say, oh i don't know... Teal maybe?  I'd just want some shiny chrome or screws to go with it.  It would give it kind of a steampunk look.

Quote: I agree.  This is more or less a "V-Moda M-100 Waiting Room"... It's like going to the doctor's office and waiting 3 hours in the waiting room, then wait about an hour in an exam room, then you see the Doc themselves for 15 minutes and leave.  I like the idea of this thread becoming...

Quote: Because then the thread would only be about 3 pages long, and then years down the road when someone reviews this thread for posterity, they will lose the feeling of heightened anxiety/tension that built up over the months leading up to the final release of the M-100.  Chopping this...

Quote: Looking back, I stopped watching that channel when they changed it to "The CW".... "CW" somehow seemed more pretentious and ludicrous than "WB".   On a more related note, we are a bored and impatient lot.  We wants our precious, and we wants it now!   Even if the M-100 isn't...

Quote: I think the problem here is that people are thinking far too small.  We need to think Bigger. and not just in fonts.  What happened to truly taking things to the next level?  Why can't we have a carrying case made from the skins of clubbed baby seals?  Why not shields made from...

Quote: He (I'm guessing based on the avatar) is asking for embroidered fake suede shields.... Were Val to go that route, especially if he takes Largemouth Bass' cue for the speculum/petri dish/pineapple dance... He just might be a popular icon for the Folsom Street Fair next year.  I would...

Quote: On a more serious note... not bad at all... What I think would be kinda visually appealing with that concept would be multiple colors... With the section you have in red colored to match the shields on the headphones.  It makes it easier to find the headphones you want and will also...

Here's my take...   First, I'm looking at an LP2 box right now, sitting on my desk.  The edges of the box are NOT grey, it is in fact a lighting artifact.  I wanted to wait to see if other people would catch on to the red/black box thing looking like beats.  No wonder those effin things sold...

Quote: I can see it now, "Just touch it, it gets bigger!"

Small box good, orange box bad.  Damn, that sounded so "hulk speak"... Too bad it would probably not go over to have an Incredible Hulk edition M-100... "V-Moda Headphones, Hulk Strong!!"

Quote: BTW, I wanted to thank you earlier, but kept forgetting... Thanks for all of the info and pics, since Val has been to busy with working on getting the M-100 out the door to keep us in the loop with where things are with it.  I think you have added quite a bit to our expectations...

Quote: But, like the rest of us, you are a hungry fish.  Being like the rest of us that are fashion and form conscious, you may also be a fickle beast.  Val has to walk the razor's edge here, and hope that nothing comes out to strike our fancy before he can toss us another snack to chase...

I'm guessing prominent reviewers get the first batch of what they have, and whatever is left over might get sold off to the lucky addicts.  It's like throwing one piece of fish food in the fish bowl and watching them all swarm on it...

Val is obviously too busy with wenching and answering summons to tell us anything.  He knows we're like crackheads, and will keep coming back.

Quote: Now you are talking other battery powered devices to use as reserve backup for the watch.  I live in a place where just last year we had a stretch where we lost power for 5 days, after a storm.  Even is you have a car with a USB port, it does get ridiculous after a certain point to...

Quote: Color me lazy, but I prefer to change my watch battery every few years, instead of having to charge the SOB once a week.  Sure, it looks neat, but also a PITA.  I've got enough crap that requires plugging into a USB cable to charge already.  It's all good, until the power is out on...

Quote: As long as he doesn't try to moderate, I prefer him talking about watches to a discussion of his feelings and mucous again.

Quote: That would actually look pretty cool... Especially if it came with some really shiny chromed out hex screws to mount it on.
