My order has officially shipped!!! I ordered mine on November 27th.
Hello guys, i wanna some now headphones and i really like look and build of V-moda m100. But i dont know how they sound i am not sure i will like lot of bass. So i went to local headphone store to find out what's really my taste. I tried some famous headphones and this is wath i thing.
Sennheiser momentum(NOT burned in) - i like them, they are fun to listen, only bass is lite too much for me i thing.
Audio technica ATH-M50(burned in) - nothing to complain i like them
Sony MDR-1R(NOT burned in) - i really didn't like their sound signature
Sennheiser HD598(burned in) - liked them but they were too bright for me
Beats Pro(burned in) - not bad but little bit boring
I am not sure if m100 isn't too much bass headphone for me. I like DnB or dubstep but also i like rock and metal.
what do you think guys? I will be glad for the help

If Miceblue comes back, and says the LP/LP2 pads sorts out all the problems of the M-100's in rock, etc, then probably the M-100's!
dbdynsty25, I would be interested in what you think of the M-100 with your LP/LP2 pads.
Well I am perfectly happy with the pads that came stock on my M100s so I doubt I'll try my LP2 pads on them anytime soon. I don't want to mess with them. LOL.
If anyone wants my LP2 pads, or my purple audio only cable (both brand new and never used), I can part with them for a few bucks. I noticed you linked to that too but there wasn't pic of the purple cable...it's really pretty sweet looking but the wife uses the speakeasy cable on the white M80s the cable came with.
I love my crossfade lp's especially since im a basshead. Do you think buying the m100's would be a good choice for me?

Quote:Well lookie what we have here. I tried the LP/LP2 pads again and this time it sounds MUCH better than what I recall from last time....to the extent where it sounds very similar to my original pad mod.
I must not have had the pads in all the way last time because I noticed that tucking the last part of the pad into the earcup was particularly difficult for me.
dbdynsty25, I would be interested in what you think of the M-100 with your LP/LP2 pads.
With the LP/LP2 pads correctly installed:
- bass is reduced about as much as my original paper towel mod, check
- midrange is more forward, more so than with DigitalFreak's mod, check (Lindsey Stirling's violin is forward and focused-on, check)
- treble extension/upper-treble is increased, making it more suitable for rock music, check (drummer mode is in action, check)
- soundstage is much wider and less deep, check (it passed all of my soundstage tests: Team Fortress 2 sentry surround sound, Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2", Ottmar Lieber's Up Close album, and even passing the binaural recording effects in Pearl Jam's Binaural album)
- instrument separation is increased, check (instruments are better defined, making it a much better contender for rock tracks with a lot of notes being played at once by different instruments)
Interesting interesting. I'm really, really, really liking my LP/LP2 pads on the M-100. Earpad mods are not needed with these pads, so both comfort and sound are not a problem for me.
I'll have to give this a better listen on Wednesday. I need some sleep now. >.>
Does it change the sound enough to have a similar balance of sound to the m80, if you've heard it?
Next to each other, the M-80 has a more balanced sound to them. The upper-treble seemed a bit edgey to my ears but they aren't harsh at all. The upper-midrange was pretty good and the vocals were [more] up-front. The bass was somewhat punchy and had decent extension. For home listening, the M-80's overall sound would probably be more preferable to many and I think it would be more enjoyable to listen to with more music genres. The M-100's bass is pretty dominating when compared next to the M-80, and the laid back upper-treble is somewhat apparent. If you're listening to rock music at home, personally I think the M-80 would be a better choice. While mobile listening on the other hand, the M-80 probably wouldn't be as good as the M-100.

The details presented in the M-100 are also more apparent when compared to the M-80. The M-80 reveals details to a certain extent, but the M-100 in comparison is definitely more detailed.
Yes in the sense that the M-100 does most things better than the M-80, but I would prefer a more balanced sound for home listening for I listen to more genres of music at home than while mobile listening (I mostly listen to pop, rock, and electronic for mobile use). From the hype of this thread, I was hoping for a M-100 with less bass and more upper-treble.
