Same here, as long as the sound quality doesn't suffer for it. I personally hope there won't be any active electronics in the M100s -- and that they won't require a headphone amp to equal or better the M80s -- but I'm steeling myself for disappointment...

I wouldnt think the sound quality suffers, rather that it changes slightly; much like the bass port on the IE8's. I feel both open and closed sound have their own particular appeal. If there's a system that can pull both off effectively (which is possible, assuming the shield would be more than just a solid or vented piece), I'd wager it would sell very well

Now if I remember correctly, the only non-headphone product Val has shared about is Vamp, which we barely know anything about anyway.  But this seems to indicate that some non headphone products will be launching in the near future!!! ???
 
Also, Val any info you can give on the Vamp?  I was looking at the e17 recently because I was thinking about buying my first amp/dac but I have been hesitant since I might end up wanted the Vamp instead.
 
Oh and Roy G Biv..mind sharing any links to the site where you found your info?

Doesn't look like it from the pictures and the article was translated pretty badly. More interesting than the folding of the M-100s is this line:

"...the conference released the Crossfade LP2 and the Crossfade M-100 and other variety of new headphones..."
 
Other variety? New headphones?
We know about Revolver, but what else? WHAT ELSE!!!

Our vents our "semi-closed", as some have found out they are more on the looks side to represent our "VENI. VIDI. VICI." slogan than for function, they are delicately balanced just enough to create a 3D sound with minimizing leakage. As you see, we try to have the yin and the yang.

Cool thanks for the info on that Since I gotta save monies anyway I can wait.  How much of that green would you suggest I be saving??  You should give us some pics, specs, and whatnot as soon as you can!!

MSRP is a good start so we know what to compare it against.
 
I would guess $200-$300, which puts it up against Fiio e17, Leckerton audio UHA-6S, iBasso D12

We calculate MSRP based on our BOM price (bill of materials).  In fact, I don't know M-100's final MSRP until it finishes final validation and we lock it down.  It'll definitely be less than or equal to $300.
 
The VAMP/DAC is also based on BOM and will be ~$600, yet it's well worth it to think different.
