Actually, it wasn't the cable at all.  It was just the adapter XD.
I used a cheap, 3rd party adapter, and it worked just fine.

  Mine did the same thing. Contact V-moda especially if you have had the pads less than a year and they're under warranty. Flex the headband regularly to break it in, I know that helped my situation. I think the latest batch of XL pads in the retail packaging hold their shape better than the ones I got in a plain package. The first XL pads I got were just terrible, they compressed too easily during wear and flattened out over time. I don't know if they have improved them, or it's luck of the draw, but I know the newer ones I have are a world better and I'm fairly comfortable again instead of having sharp pain in the peaks of my antihelixes.

My replacement pads arrived today. Customer service of Vmoda is fast Thanks @Andii for suggesting me to contact them.

Honestly I think the headphones are worth $200 in regards to a flashy looking headphone with sound. The other $100 you pay them for at MSRP is the 2 year "6 star" service. My drivers broke twice, and each time I sent them in for repair, they send it back through expedited shipping. If I recall there's only one guy who responds back to my emails for RMA, but it's like he's on 24/7 and returns the emails within 1-2 hours.

I might have given off a bad vibe there, but my point is that V-Moda has pretty great customer service no matter how many times I contact them. All problems I had with my M100 have been resolved within 2 weeks per issue.

In regards to why I said the M100 is a $200 headphone; that's how I think they should be priced in regards to the overall cost of the headphone (including profits and whatnot). Someone else will obviously have a different opinion, but I feel that the other $100 I paid for the M100's goes towards something useful like quality customer service.

Anyone tried Schiit Fulla with M-100? How comfortable is the "headroom" on volume control? Wondering if it gets to ~80db too quickly where a little nudge of more volume gets too loud.

Going to get the schiit amp / dac stack in a few weeks. Will let you know.

Tbh, I probably could've gotten better with IEMs, but I needed something to convert people who want Beats.

Well now I feel like a jerk  (refers to previous post)

lol I actually agree with your previous post. The M100s are more competitive for its sound quality at the $200 price range. $300 is overpriced for its sonics alone. However, I do think some of the costs go into V-Moda's excellent customer service. Also, you are paying a bit of a premium for the build quality & fashion.
 
After a lot of more experience with portable mid-fi headphones, I really think you can definitely find better sound at a better price.

I've owned many sets of headphones over the years and I've bought 4 pairs in the last year alone. The only pair that have ever been damaged are my M-100's. They weren't subjected to abuse and I've no idea how the damage occurred but I suspect it's down to the particularly brittle plastics used in their construction. Many others have also had problems with the quality of the materials. What we're paying for is style over function, nothing else.

I'm so glad mine were gifted to me for Christmas from the company I was freelancing for.

Although mine are fine after a year (knock on wood) I'd hate to be reading all these posts if I'd actually paid for them. :blink:

The only damage I've ever seen with any of my V-MODA headphones (V-80, XS, and M-100) have been through usage. I've dropped all three models onto wooden and ceramic floors, onto concrete sidewalks, and walked with them through rain. All work fine with only minor wear and tear. The one pair I did receive that was defective was replaced in a week.
