Oh hey and are we gonna be able to Customize the headband?

I bet. He said that new headbands were a new feature so I wouldn't be surprised. Customized or replaceable!

mm foldable cups makes a hell of a lot of sense, i doubt they ahave figured out swivels yet, but foldable makes sense.
 
So its

1. super mic
2. foldable cups
3. Extra cables (audio only, and coiled)
4. Customizable shields

 
So far we have spotted all of them. Now what else could there be...
Hell how can i even ask that, thats a hell of a lot already, it just shows how picky we can be., and we can be padantic about minor details.
 
Owell :/ we are who we are, and Val is still trying to please as many of us as possible, kudos to him! Especially when you think that each feature makes it more expensive in terms of R&D and build cost, and eats into their profits.
 
So again I say, much respect.

M-100 Custom Shield Kits Promo "M-100MANIA"
I created a code "M-100MANIA" as a code for 20% off custom M-100/LP/LP2 shields.  The LP/LP2 large shields WILL work on M-100.  We'll send the "wings" too, but the M-100 does not use that part anymore.   PS the first MASS PRODUCTION M-100's will be nearly an identical color as M-80 Shadow.

So M-80's shields won't fit on M-100's? Your Facebook page said otherwise.

Not letting it go, are you?
M-80 = Supraaural
M-100/LP/LP2 = Circumaural

Besides, if you have custom shields for the M-80, what are you gonna do? Swap them back and forth every time you decide which pair you're going take? It took me about 15 minutes to swap out my shields. It's not something you want to do regularly.

Not that I don't want to let go. V-Moda on FB told me otherwise...anyway I guess you're right.

OK with all the shield compatibility made me wonder if M-100 were the same size as M-80 but I guess NOT. Oh well I guess we will have to wait and see ...

Did you guys not read any of the previous postings on this thread?

M-100 is the full-sized version of the M-80. M stands for Modiophile which is V-Moda's audiophile-grade line of headphones. The Crossfade LP/LP2 stand for "Live Play" which have more bass and a sound signature designed for DJs who mix in loud environments and are meant to played LOUD. One of the main complaints about the M-80 (none of it relating to sound quality) is it has a supraaural (on-ear) design which some people find uncomfortable. The second major complaint is that they don't isolate well. M-100 stands to fix this shortcomings while adding a few new features to make it V-Moda's flagship headphone. That is until the Revolver and Milano receive their time in the R&D spotlight and blow our minds on future threads to come.

Did I miss anything?

You missed adding a qualifier to the fact that the "major complaints" come from only a relatively small majority of users, and that comfort and isolation are generally regarded very favorably

I'm FB friends with Lee Kalt...dude is crazy about V-Moda...just looking at his pics makes you want to DJ and rep V-Moda.  Congrats to him.

Once I have final dates locked, I'll start to leak some more!   Watch me and Erick though in the coming weeks, we'll have new prototypes. RE Winner - I think there was a winner, so I'll get them a prototype.
 
Birthday was amazing, my biggest gift was that my co-producer of music on Subliminal, DJ and House Music TV owner, Lee Kalt, got married on a small private Island in the keys!  
 
My close friend Erick Morillo and I were there to witness the spectacular event along with my girlfriend, DJ Soxxi. In fact, Erick Morillo and Subliminal records played a vital role in V-MODA's history AND M-100.  Erick/Subliminal inspired me to start V-MODA and encouraged me when I was just a poor fan with a dream.  When I was on tour with him years later on a broken leg, we came up with the idea for both Faders and M-100!   Subliminal is also why I don't release many of my records, Erick has a different view on how to do things and it inspires me to be unique.  For instance, he said if you save your best and original remixes for live performances, people HAVE to see you in person to hear the best music! 
 
Necessity in the modern mobile Macbook studio, stage, road and a large variety of feedback plays a critical role on the fine details and features. Very different than MNAs (marketing needs analysis) that start from the boardroom, as we actually took many ideas from here at Head-Fi! 
 
   
 
Erick Morillo, Val Kolton + DJ Soxxi
 
PS - wore M-100 on a run today starting from Versace mansion!

Are people honestly arguing about the supposed post about M-80 plates being able to fit on the M-100?
 
 
If this is wrong, why make it such a big uproar? People can make mistakes at times, things can be misheard or misconstrued at times. Remember that Val is human just like the rest of us, he has a company that he is running while also trying to talk to and please as many people as possible AND also while on the verge of releasing a new product. With all that on the plate its amazing that Val has given any time to talk to us as much as he has been and I am greatly appreatieated of it. Not just us but places like FB and other social sites as well.
 
You can only do so much, we should be ever thankful to Val for giving us the time to talk to him.
 
That said I know plenty here are thankful, and perhaps the previous statement sounded widespread while in reality its only a small percentage, this also counting outside the forums too.
 
 
Aye, I cannot wait to hear the news on the latest tooling tests on the M-100, hoping for the best of news!

M-80 = On-Ear 
M-100 = Over-Ear (very close to LP/LP2 size)
 
Therefore M-100 shields are interchangeable with LP/LP2.

Definitely, we have a small, yet amazing team of GREAT employees with tremendous experience. We have a flat organization without bureaucracy and complex management/ownership layers that allows us to focus on the customer.

Our COGS (cost of goods sold) has skyrocketed in the past year, we include lots of features (CASES), crazy materials and QC standards that makes it hard to compete with our competitors at similar price points.  But I am animate about the unique materials and features, so we figure out a way. IT'S NOT easy so we really appreciate the word-of-mouth and reviews.  We put our $ where are materials is (mouth is)!

I'm not sure if this is directed at me or not, but I was simply correcting some glaring misconceptions from posters who have somehow ignored the last 60 or so pages of this thread.

I just wanted to say that I love V-moda and hope I can get some m-100s when they come out and also future audiophile phones. My m-80s are still 1 of my favorites even while owning the hd600s.
