Hello all,
I'm fairly new to this world of headphones and thus my knowledge is shallow.
So I'm hoping to get some help with a rather strange issue I'm having.
Recently became a new owner of V-Moda Crossfade M100.
They sound great with portable players and I absolutely love the aesthetics.
The issue I'm having is:
When I use the provided 6.35 mm adapter to connect the cans into a desktop USB amp, the sound is not normal.
I'm using the orange cable that came with the headphones.
It has a built-in mic and a button to activate it for Android etc.
It sounds like I'm listening to a sound in a big hall from behind a wall in distance.
It's really distant and there is pretty much no bass at all.
The weird thing is that if I press the mic button on the cable, I get the normal sound.
But obviously I cannot be holding the button the whole time.
Anybody have an idea as to what's causing this issue?
Couple things I tried:
-The headphones work perfectly fine if I just plug into a 3.5 mm jack, so I don't think the unit is defective.
-I've tried with 3 different amps, and the same thing happened with all 3. So the amp isn't the issue.
-I tried using the other provided cable without the mic (it has shareplay feature instead). But no luck either.
Only, I cannot get the normal full sound at all with this cable since it doesn't even have the mic button.
-I have another pair of headphones with very similar impedance and sensitivity and they work totally fine.
-The OS is Windows 7 and I have no other sound device connected to the computer.
I've contacted the manufacture's support and they are just sending me a new cable and an adapter.
But since I've already tried the other cable, I'm not sure if that would solve my problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
