I think the fact that you were trying to get a $200 credit on something you didn't pay full retail price for is acting kinda entitled TBH.

I see your point but no matter at what price I bought them I wonder why they would not honor/transfer warranty if it was within 12 months of manufacture date. I didnt think a 40 dollar discount ($260)
would warrant an "as-is" condition. Especially since now you can buy a brand new pair for $114 on Amazon.

If you can get a new pair for $114 then you can definitely see why they wouldn't let you trade one in for $200.

I'm a long time V Moda fan, ever since I bought a pair of LP2s in 2012 I have used them every day for 6 years. I love them so much I went from a new pair of headphones every year to not wanting to upgrade for 6 years

However they are beginning to look and feel a little worn, and I now have lots of Bluetooth capable devices

So... I'm looking at buying either:
Crossfade Wireless 1 (£138)
Crossfade Wireless 2 in Rose gold (aptx) (£219)
Codex (310, not likely tbh)

Which ones?

I LOVE the booming bassy sound of the LP2s and I'm a bit concerned that some people have said the CFW2s are less bassy? But I'm also concerned that the CFW1 don't have aptx. Would I really notice? I do like the rose gold colour though. Bit different.

They will be paired with a Hiby R6 and a mix of FLAC and Spotify Premium

Are you going to use Android or iPhone?

Android!

 

[subguy812]

Okay.

They are not bass light, they are not bassy to the level of an M100 by any means. This is the most balanced offering they have had. I would save the money and get the CF2W with Rose Gold. I like the Matte Black color of the Codex version, but unless color is important , save the money.

So how does the CFW2 compare to the CFW1? If the CFW1 are more bassy I would be tempted to save £80 more and just get those. Unless aptx is going to make a mega difference paired with a Hiby R6.

I'm used to the LP2 bass and would be disappointed to downgrade in that sense

Sorry I haven't heard them.

Reviews indicate that the CFW1 is more bassy, even more so than the M-100.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Yeah, the CFW1 was obnoxious with the bass, but then while I like bassy headphones I'm not a "basshead." The M100 was my first good headphone and I distinctly remember firing up the CFW1 at one of those airport stores (so it wasn't a demo unit, it really was just one of them out of the box) and going "holy balls that's bassy."

I tried to offer my suggestion and it appears he about saving more $$ maybe, whicht is why I said the CF2W over the Codex version. I was listening to them yesterday(Codex) and love the signature.

I didn't hear a BIG diff between the 2 and Codex, maybe some refinement. If the guy is more of a basshead, the CFW1 really might be his ideal.

It's not about the money, I would happily spend money on the CFW2 but I'm worried that I would prefer the sound signature of the (cheaper) CFW1. I'm a definite basshead.

But is the CFW2 bassy enough? As I like the rose gold and does aptx make a difference?

I'm not really considering codex as it does nothing any different or better for an Android user

 

[SomeGuyDude]

"Bassy enough" is impossible for us to judge. The main benefit of the Codex is if you want the other codecs on a non-gold version.
