Long time no see, fellow M-100'ers.
Earlier this month I went on a two-week trip back to my old hometown in the U.S., and was disappointed to see that none of the stores carried any V-Moda products anymore. During my previous trip last June, by contrast, I saw at least a couple of stores that still had V-Moda headphones.
Now, most of the stores only carry Beats, Sony, JBL, and Bose, and some also have Sennheiser and B&O.
When I asked the clerks if they had any V-Modas, at least one reply I got was, "Not anymore."
Really, really sad.
Anyway, in case you missed it, a month ago I posted a new topic thread for the latest
Version 5.0 of my illustrious EQ presets on my Rockboxed iPod Classic, designed specifically for the M-100. With a Cayin C5 portable amp to go with it, these presets will make a pair of M-100s sound like
a big car stereo while sounding crisp, clear, and detailed at the same time when choosing a suitable preset for the song that's playing. There's two sets: one with
611 EQ presets, and the other with
606. With all the bass boosts and everything combined in my portable headphone system, these can boost 40 Hz by up to
62 dB (and possibly more).
You can view the new thread at

I also posted a short new 4-minute video on Vimeo last month, announcing this latest version and showing some of the updated screen menus on my iPod:
(On the Vimeo page, click the tab under the video that says, "Read more," to view all the web links, etc. These links should be clickable.)
There's also my original
43-minute video, detailing my EQ presets and portable headphone system:
This video was made in June 2016 and showcases a previous version: Version 4.0.
Anyway, I had a great time on my previous visit to the U.S. last year (in June 2017) while attending Head-Fi's New York Spring Meetup. (
Click here for photos of the event, and of the table where I showed off the dual-listening setup of my portable headphone system with Version 4.1.)
Everyone who had a chance to hear it was really impressed -- including
Jude Mansilla!
Oh well, have fun,...even if the stores don't carry V-Moda headphones anymore.
