I just placed an order for a matte black CF2W – it'll be interesting to compare it to the Crossfade Wireless and M-100.

Ha ha! Me too! There are so many factors to consider, and one of them, for me, is build quality. I checked out the Solo 3s the other day and they felt really cheap and fragile compared to my V-Modas. If the Studio 3s don't sound any better wireless I'm going with the Crossfade 2.

Sound signature aside, when you did your testing did the Studio 3 sound significantly better wireless than the V-Moda? I'm just wondering how much the W1 chip brings to the game.

Not necessarily. I’m in the same boat as you, and if they sound terrible compared to the M-100, I’m going to go with the Crossfade 2 Wireless. Reviews of the Studio 3 are good so far, but I’m going to need to see some comparison reviews and audition them myself to make a decision.

I really want the CF2W, but I also want something with the best wireless performance possible and that W1 chip just can’t be bested at this point. If the Beats sound at least as good as my M-100s, I’m buying.

Gonna have to hear about this "impermanent physical modification".

@Deltasun I just got mine last week from Todd the Vinyl Junkie. They shipped it hours after I placed my order and even upgraded my shipping for free! I have seen a demo model for sale for $650, but I've never seen them on sale before. Check out TTVJ...

That setup looks great! I was looking at the Magni/Modi combo for a bit, but the more time I spend on here, the higher my budget goes – I'm all the way up to a WA7 Fireflies now. *Sigh*

Thanks a lot for the very thorough review! I look forward to seeing the modded cable.

I've had the P7s for a few days now and I'm really liking them, but I really want to get my hands on a pair of HP50s to compare – I hope you post your findings!

I thought the same thing about the Aedle – looks fantastic, but I really have no idea what it sounds like!

The more the merrier, ha ha!

I'm having a really tough time deciding between these two, I hope someone who has heard both can help me out.   I've listened quite extensively to the P7 and compared it to the Sennheiser Momentum (I can't get my hands on a set of HP50s locally) – I prefer the P7 by quite a bit. I'm going to...
