Wish they would put the input jack on the left!

And codecs would be confirmed..

You gotta figure, if it had AAC, he would've said it, or would've been advertised on the box. So I would assume it's only SBC except the black/copper version. (I think that sounds better then rose gold)

Whatever codec Apple TV 4 is using sure sounds good on the CF2W.

I think the black/copper is the rose gold correct? It's also the only version with aptx?

Yes my review should be up either today or tomorrow at least by the end of the week.

Is the micro Vamp disabled in wired mode?

 

[stuck limo]

So now 2 people I've showed the CF II to have liked the M100 better. The second guy actually preferred the ATH-m50x to the M100, and the CF II last.

Huh.

EDIT: So now the guy likes the M100 better, and the ATH-m50x is being returned. Now he's going to compare the M100 to the CF II again and make a determination from there.

I've been using both this week (wife has the CF2W and I have a new M100) and I very much prefer the M100 sound signature. When they sell the CF2W stock pads separately, I'll be buying those for my M100.

To my understanding, yes, the Vamp is disabled when wired.

It will come down to the signature you enjoy. My advice is to listen to the M -100 for an extended period. The CF2W is by far the most balanced V-MODA yet. After a while with the M-100 the sound became bass fatiguing and I longed for more detail and treble. The CR2W is the first V-MODA, in my opinion, to deliver the desire of some critical listening as well as the fun V-MODA sound.

Ike I am attempting to get an answer for sure but I concur with Spider at this point.

According to the V-Moda product page, all electronics are switched off when a cable is connected, so they don't fool around with DSPs shaping the sound -- one of my reasons to use their wireless models.

As @subguy812 said, the M-100 can have a bit too much bass and not enough details over time. The CF2 is much more balanced. I can understand if someone likes the M-100 due to its more bass-pronounced signature, but to me the new model is just about perfect: while still fun and engaging it offers much more details and more realistic voices

I know it's a different style of headphone but has anyone compared the V-Modas (M-100/CW/C2W) to the B&W P5 (either series 2 or wireless)? Would be interested in the differences/similarities of sound signature, comfort etc.

As someone who prefers a neutral/balanced signature with a dash of warmth, I find the CF2's quite warm with a punchy mid bass and sub bass that can slam and extends DEEP down to the depths. Decay on both is nice and tidy so as not to clutter detail-which I enjoy and prefer. I think what bassheads may be missing is the long decay of bass rumble that bleeds into the rest of the sound. Thankfully to my tastes the CF2 does not have this, I'll take detail any day over bass bleed. If I want an undetailed bassy sound I'll put on my wifes beats and then quickly take them off a few minutes later because I can't take it anymore.

 

[subguy812]

I would agree the bass decay on the M-100 is the culprit regarding bleed in the lower mids and obscuring the details. The M-100 will give a foot tapping fun sound for the short term.

For bassheads, are the CFW1 a better choice than CFW2 then?
