Sony has new mdr-x10 for $299.  I wonder how they compare to the m-100 (same price)?  Still like Val's personal attention and and customer support.

X10 will be overpriced version of XB800/900 with "celebrity endorsement" behind it and has lots of "cheap looking painted plastic", I don't know why some1 would even compare it to M100. XB900/800 however that costs twice as little that just has a little fewer accessories (no case) and non removable cable at $150 might be fairly OK though for the same sound as X10 at $300 (I hope you do buy headphones primarily for the sound)
 
My point being, X10 is irrelevant, XB800/900 might be ok at its price point for bass lovers, you can already tell X10 will be overpriced if the MSRP for XB800/900 is $149 which is the same headphone in a different package.

Concerning the White finish, I was anticipating it to exhibit a level of garishness that boosted appeal for those more hip than I.  While it does come off as attention-grabbing in the latest crop of photos, I was wrong to assume that their allure would be at all inhibiting -- they're downright debonair!  Very tastefully done!
 
We have glamour shots for the Matte (official) and White. (unofficial)  Where's our Shadow eye candy?

Agreed.  There's certainly a level of value in the experience that's wholly unrivaled by competing products.  Compounding the personalized, handwritten note with the personal approach to quality control yields a level of credence for which there is no precedent.

I'm starting to regret not getting in on the pre-order.  I guess I'll have to st... er.. borrow Anakchan's at some point.

x2 - was hesitant on the pre-order and when I finally decided a couple of days later, the page was down. 

Val, do we get a second chance?

My thoughts exactly.  I just wanted to hear it from someone else and make sure I was making the right decision.  M-100 are on top of my next purchase list.  Missed the pre-order,  hope i can wait for mass production.

Ugh, just got this in the email from V-Moda Concierge

Did anyone else get this email as well or am I the only one? This really sucks. I really don't want any other shield color.  None of them really work for me.  I was really looking forward to rocking the M-100s with brushed metal shields. Majorly disappointed now ><

I just received this email from V-Moda. I'm so bummed that I can't get my shield design with the brushed metal shields.

Val would it be to much to ask to send the brushed metal shields blank and put my design on a extra pair of matte black shields at no cost? The brushed shields were the only other shields I wanted.

EDIT*( I assumed that the brushed metal shields were having quality control issues. If they're not in stock could they be shipped later?)

 

[alchemical]

I got the same email. Really disappointing, but I'd much rather pick an alternate colour than shipping being delayed as a result. That said, I'm a little confused as to their meaning - since I ordered blank brushed shields. I'm assuming that when it says they can't engrave on them, they mean it's because they don't have any in stock to actually engrave on. Val implied as much a few pages back.
 

 

[innocentsin]

For me, I'd rather have mine delayed so I can get the brushed metal shields.  Or maybe send the brushed metal shields separately when they become available (I'm assuming the unforseen circumstance is they ran out of stock).  As much as I really wanna get the M-100s, they need to be perfect for me or else I'll constantly have this nagging voice in my head telling me that the shields are "wrong" and don't fit the style I want =T

I assumed that they were having trouble engraving the brushed metal shields. I hope it doesn't delay shipping.

 

[innocentsin]

I hope Val can clear things up and tell us what's going on

 

[robble]

As far as engraving shields go, Val did say that they were waiting on the brushed metal shields a few pages back. But the fact that they can't do it makes me a sad panda. But! I know that they're devilishly fast at engraving shields, and even if it did take them a wee bit longer to engrave, it won't matter too much. So Matte Black here I go

 

[autoteleology]

I'd rather just have the shields shipped to me at a later date, at cost to me if need be. I don't really have any interest in any other color.

 

[JoeyBrucs]

is it possible for me to order M100s now? I went on the vmoda website and i do not see anything :/ help mehh
