I'm very excited about these headphones, but am also a little nervous - whenever there's a lot of pre-release hype and expectation there's increased scope for disappointment.  Reading the story above, I get nervous hearing stuff like "...might sound too bass heavy at home..."  and "midrange and treble presence were quite good".  Only "quite" good?  I absolutely love the signature of the M80s, and hope the M100s don't veer too far from that (in the direction of the LP2s).  I'm not a DJ and don't listen to dance music - I want something that also sounds fantastic playing acoustic folk and rock (like the M80s do).  I guess we'll know soon enough!

All you have (we) to go on for now is that these will be around 80% M-80's, and only 20% LP2 from what we've heard. That's my guess anyway - I've never heard either, and I bought these based on the great things I heard about V-MODA and Val Kolton. I'm actually a bit nervous about these specific headphones, because the vents may leak more of my music than I'm used to.
 
Other than that - they sound good for me, but with so many headphones coming out, I don't think I need to worry about not finding anything for me.

Yeah you guys are right, it's just the nerves getting to me.

I listen to music quite loud in my M80's and they leak absolutely NOTHING, and I'm in class and it's dead silent in there. 
The LP2's don't leak much either, a bit more, but if you're not listening at damaging levels I wouldn't worry.

How loud is "quite loud"? Halfway on an iPod Touch volume rocker? 1/3rd?

↑ditto. Not even at max volume, and the V-80's are quite audible (covered them with my hands)

I am confused - does this mean they leak a lot then? You had to cover them?

If I turn the M-80 up to half volume on my 3GS, you can just barely hear it in a quiet library sitting across from it on a desk, while it is on someone's head.  It's not distracting at all and you can't even pick out what song is playing.

I've tested my M-80's on my iPod Touch 4 at 13/16 volume (I'm pretty sure we can all agree that this is loud) in a dead silent room with my sister 2 feet away and all she can hear was a quiet murmur: she was able to figure out the lyrics to the song, but it was very quiet and she had to concentrate; leakage is not a problem for the M-80's.

I thought they leaked too, until I put them on someone's head...

I listen about that loud and noone can hear it in a dead silent classroom.

I'll be going through every Gorillaz album on the M-100. Every single one is a complete masterpiece.

Don't be nervous if you are an audiophile that also appreciates fantastic bass. My gut tells me these are the first headphones to satisfy audiophiles that are secretly bassheads and bassheads who have been searching for a basshead can that also provides audiophile mids and highs (I am the latter).  Mark my words- take the best bass you ever heard in a headphone- impactful, tight and deep (not overpowering; something like the M-Audio Q40 or ATH-PRO700MK2 and combine with clean, transparent mids and smooth highs, THAT WILL BE THE M-100!!!!) [TURNING INTO THE HULK AS I TYPE THIS I AM SO PUMPED].

I'm pretty sure that I've seen this picture somewhere here before, but anyways, I'm just sharing with everyone

I got the matte black, however both withe and black are really good looking for me 

 
Crossing my fingers the shipment will occur as soon possible.

I'm late to the party, where can i pre-order? What about the VTF-100? It's hard to gather any information having not followed this thread from the beginning.
