What is it about the sound of the CFW that you disliked?

Couldn't pinpoint it but it def doesn't sound like the m100 - it was lacking perhaps the quality of the bass or just something was missing...

Has anyone tried to mod these by switching on the m-100 cliq-fold hinges?

The wireless sounds muddy in comparison to the m100 IMO.

Hmm....to me the Wireless leans closer towards tonal balance than the M100 (but that's not to say the Wireless is completely tonally balanced), but I didn't find the Wireless to be muddy.

maybe I shouldve said darker indstead of muddy. The highs seem to be more rolled off on the cfw, but the mids are more prominent.

I never compared them 2 directly, but the CFW fits more with the "bassy EDM headphones" profile that I initially imagined about VModa. It was also the first VModa that I used extensively, but I now I have the M100 and I like it more

Yeah if they can offer the m100 sound in wireless mode that would be pretty amazing.  Not holding my breath though.

They are pretty dang close. Seriously.

Close but not close enough for my ears, that's why I stick with the m-100 now and have sold the wireless.  Having no wires is great, but at the end, I prefer to have the m100 sound signature and the collapsibility of the m100 design.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I 100% agree...I use my regular M100s way more often because of the portability advantages.  The sound, wired, sounds almost identical...so if you're using them wired, M100 all the way.

I have the wireless on loan now and I have a chance to buy them cheap with XL pads but I was reluctant because they don't sound the same to me as the M100, which I heard before sometime back. You have both right and they sound indistinguishable wired?

To me, the highs are a little more extended, but ever so slightly...but that's the only difference I can notice between the M100 and the M100 Wireless.  So yeah, its pretty damn difficult to tell them apart in wired mode.

Hi, after a thorough reading of the almost 70 pages of this thread i decided to go for the wireless version. They're 50 euros more expensive than the 100's here, but even if i will mainly use them wired i still like the possibility to remove the cables if needed. Plus the wireless version has the design i really want (Phantom Chrome), the m100's have it too but it was an exclusivity for Microsoft US and they absolutely can't be found here (France).
 
But my question is more about customization. I know i could have had a free customization by ordering directly through V Moda website, but the Shipping fees and import taxes were tremendous, not to mention the huge delay to get them, so i will just go through amazon Prime as i need the headphones as soon as possible. Still, i'm going to want some customized shield later, but there's a few things i don't understand.
 
- When i try to buy custom shields and i'm being asked for the base color of my headphones, Phantom Chrome doesn't appear, only the 3 other colours. Is that an issue and which one should i select to create shields for the Phantom Chrome ?
- I want to upload my own logo design to customize the shields, but i don't get the difference between 3D printed and Laser engraved. What would look better for a personal logo design ?
 
Also i'd love to see some customized shields owners made, so if you feel like it, post the photos of your uniques headphones. Thanks !
