Not wanting to read through the 100 pages of forum...but I'm wondering...what is this Valkyria stuff going on?
 
*Oh and do we have a rough estimate as to when the M100s may come out?

Valkyria and Valkyrie are the two bigger name suggestions for the name we will be giving the production units and their testing brethren. V-MODA puts them through a lot to make sure that they are ready for production - from heat testing, to drop testing and more, so they need a name for their sacrifice, haha.
 
Also, the estimated date is shortly after June 4th, but the PPUs will be released earlier, seeing as they're just that.. Pre-Production Units.

I've already successfully convinced my fiance to get an M-100. She's tried my M-80, and she loves the sound, but prefers the bigger form factor of the LP2. I've got myself a convert.

They always want to bigger.

So this week could be monumental for us related to the M-100.....

I wouldn't count on it Craigster.  July 4th was the suggested release but seem to be some delays because of the case, et.al....  As Val said on the Recycle thread, "I don't have a date yet, they are done when they are done".

To get a feel of if the Crash Test Dummies of the M-100 are even worthwhile and what to name them, it would probably be good to see what they really look like after all of that abuse.  Are we collectively naming the fresh out of the box pre-production units and the violently tested ones the same?  There really should be some distinction between the two (as they will be very different in both appearance and life expectancy).

Yeah - but the date was previously July 4th, and since he is finishing things up now - I don't expect them to be released much later than that. I think we can expect the PPUs around July 4th, and the full release a week or two after that.

That would be great timing since I have 14 days to return my Amperior.

I think that would be optimistic to say the least.

We have 10 whole days until the original intended release date, so at latest the PPU's would be released 5 days to a week later - then the full release two weeks or so after that.
 
I don't think it's too optimistic.

I just saw some V-Moda Crossfade LP today and they are much bigger than I imagined...will the M100 be the same size (I was looking into these mainly for portability)

How big did you think they were? I only have Audio Technica ATH-M50's at the moment, so would they be bigger than them?
 
The M-100's and LP1/2's all use the same shields, so I would assume that they have the same size.

Well I think they would be a little smaller than the ATH-M50 for sure, but still seemed allot larger than I imagined, width and height were as expected but they stick out further (as in depth of the cups were larger than expected) and there is a big gap between the arms and the side of my head I do have a small head though haha 
 
Not sure if M100 will have a better fit on my head but with the hinge being there I dont think they will sit any more flush to the side of my head unfortunatly but its so hard without pics or having it infront of you...and I dont expect the UK shops to be stocking the M100 any time soon for me to find out

We still need pictures - we're less than half a month until the launch window.

V-Moda should make a commercial and hire the Dos Equis guy to say "I don't always listen to music with headphones on but when I do, I prefer V-Moda".
