Can't imagine no one has, but does anyone have experience with this vs the m100? Basically I want to trade for the portability without affecting sound too much.

Hey, you're back. The XS is a different animal from the M-100. Mids are more pronounced and bass is scaled back a bit and doesn't go as deep. Treble isn't as prominent either. The XS has a flatter signature overall, but a mini M-100 it is not. It's a lot more comfortable, though.
Can't keep me away for too long, LOL.
Yeah I'm kinda surprised that the XS seems to be so different. I would have figured it was like the Momentums in that they were fairly similar just with their own sound. Really want to go check out a pair for myself. Might have to take a trip to AC Gears in NYC this weekend.
It was actually the other way around. Everyone was expecting the M-100 to be a beefier M-80 and instead it ended up being a completely different sound. A lot of Head-Fiers were disappointed by the M-100's sound.
Has anyone made the leap from ATH-M50 to the v-moda XS? I've had the m50 for about 6 months and I have just totally fallen out of love with them. They sound dull and veiled to me now. I am wondering if the overall sound of the XS are "better" than the m50 or just on par with them.

@blackcoffee: thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure I am going to roll the dice on the xs. The small form factor alone will work well for travel and the office. I had a buyer for my M50's today, but it fell through, so I may be a couple more weeks.
@Tom22: What is it you are not liking about the XS?

Well I was able to sell the M50's tonight and I pulled the trigger on the black XS from the headphonebar. So I guess I'll see what the difference is in a few days.
We have a contest today to win a XS and we are not plan on doing many contests in the future. Chances of winning are high right now!

Val,
Was there a winner chosen for this contest? I don't see one mentioned in the comments of the Facebook post. I'd love to get in on this if it is still open. My M80s are my daily work headphone and I would love to see if the XS can best them in the noisy environment that I work in.
Unfortunately my financial planner (read: Wife) says buying new ones is not in the budget right now. I told her I would pass my M80s down to my daughter, that suggestion was also vetoed. Apparently she sees no need for a toddler to have modern audiophile grade headphones. It was around this time I started to question my marriage...
