I'd pay that much for them - they rock. But I'm still rather stunned by the sale that microsoft canada had on them in Dec 2015 when I paid $168CN (approx $125US at the time). Wow.

I was tempted by that deal too, but I already have two M-100s(White Silver and Shadow). The Chrome was a Microsoft exclusive at the time. They don't even sell them on V-MODA's site and I had to contact V-MODA to ask if they were legit or not.

Ha! You are indeed a vmoda m100 die-hard!

WHAT

Ms just literally redefined the word "bargain"

That MS deal was sweet and they came with black and chrome plates so you could have bling or understated.

Anyone have the crossfade wireless and have or know if anyone has successfully modded by swapping the cliq-fold hinges on them?

If I could get the crossfade wireless and swap the hinges on.. that would be ideal, as I could then just use my wired m100 as a dedicated gaming headset (or when I am using my amp).

 

[WilliamLeonhart]

Yes one did. I think he practically replaced the wireless hinges with m100's

The effect on sound of the double-ended cable, while subtle, is notable and is now my preferred way to listen to the M-100s. It's hard to describe the difference other than saying it sounds a little... "more." I originally planned to only use the double-ended cable at home, but it sounds so good I put up with the slight annoyances of taking it on the go. Here is my experience.
 
For portable use it's a bit of a pain as the cable is long and thick and likes to form twists and loops if you move your phone or DAP around a lot. Simply rotating the headphone jack will undo most of the twisting, but it is annoying and something to be aware of.
 

 
Walking around I didn't notice much of a comfort difference between single-sided and double-sided cable entry, which was an initial worry of mine.
 

 
I think it has to do with the Y-splitter. It's a precision machined piece of aluminum that's just heavy enough to keep the cables above the Y-split straight while not adding any perceived weight to the headphones. The Y-splitter sits just below my chest and both ends of the cable stay out of the way when turning my head. 
 

 
The braided fabric on the lower half of the cable is black interwoven with specks of red. It is heavy-duty and annoyingly microphonic causing zipper-like sounds when it brushes against something, like your pant leg or a passing pomeranian. The headphone jack, while beautifully crafted with a substantial spring-coil strain relief, is large and not too friendly to shallower pockets.
 

 
The ends that plug into the M-100 are marked with small letters indicating Left and Right channels, but it's a small annoyance searching for white markings on tiny silver cylinders. I used a bit of colored tape make the distinction more obvious.
 

 
They also look pretty nice plugged into the headphones.
 

 
For a little less than $20, I think this cable is a nice upgrade to a headphone that I've loved listening to for years.
 
You can find it on Amazon here and eBay here(black) and here(red).

That's why I just say NO to pomeranians!
 

 
Interesting post though!

I agree, well done review.  I have moved to using mine mobile too.  I also found when I use my amp, its a lot more noticeable quality upgrade than the stock cable. (not saying its a huge difference, just the difference from un-amped to amped is noticeable as well.
 
I also got a fiio silver 2.2" for my amp input over the cheap cable that came with it and oh my. it brightened my sound a lot (for when I don't find a reason to have my DAC on).
 
Edit:  I see that pose, well have to call it 'The Head-fi' right?

And now, some headphone porn.
