I'm really interested in an update on the XL pads.  Does anybody know anything?!  Perhaps Val could drop us some intel.

I don't understand why people are so worried about the M-100's leakage.
 
I was on the bus today reading a research paper and listening to music on my M-100's at a fairly loud listening level. Somebody came on the bus and sat next to me wearing Beats Studios. I could hear his music above my music above the bus noise. Pretty sad if you ask me. In short, the M-100's leakage problem is very minimal even at medium volume level-listening.

Probably he wanted to let everybody know what was he listening...

Beats owners need to listen at very loud volumes to hear their music over that muddy mess that beats calls BASS!!! :-D

Yes, and their non-existent active noise-cancellation.
 
I hope V-MODA can make a portable active noise-cancelling headphone in the future (Bose really needs a good competitor), but Val stated they've done prototypes and they're not-too-good.

Yeah, decent NC is VERY expensive to develop.  Luckily, Bose has those lucrative defense contract dollars burning a hole in their pocket...

I actually went to a local Bose store to try out their QC15's in-person with my own gear. Noise cancelling and comfort are top-notch; some of the finest headphones for those purposes (each earcup has 2 input microphones for the noise-cancelling feature and each earcup has their own noise-cancelling circuit). Sound quality? Meh...it could use some work. The person who helped me liked how the M-100's looked and asked me what headphones they were.

Yeah, I never liked their sound, but their comfort and NC capabilities are pretty solid.

I have the qc15, they sound decent, good soundstage, a minor bass emphasis, mids are more forward. But the most comfortable headphone I wore to date! I wore them in an 18 hour flight and even slept with them. They are not HiFi but I could tolerate it. A still a good buy if you want NC, best in the business. But hopefully get in on sale, $300 bucks not worth it, but it depends how much you value NC. But they are ALOT of fakes floating around.
