You may consider the V-MODA crossfade m-100
I think they meet your needs for bass especially with your music tastes as well as exchangeable cable and outside noise cancellation. They are right at the top of your price range but I'd recommend getting the XL foam pads in addition as most people find the stock ones small and not as comfortable.

"Problem is, I only have about 100 bucks to spend and he wants over-ears."

Uhm... There is no such over-ear Beats product for that price. The 2013 studios and the Solo2 are both well made, have metal construction throughout the headband, and sound just as good, if not better, than alternative bass-heavy headphones. I would say the V-Moda M-100 is better sounding, but not the LP or the LP2.

The real reason why you don't want to buy the Beats is because you don't want to pay for them.

The beats Studios 2013 cost $199 on Amazon.

The V-Moda M-100, that I said was better than Beats, $60 more.

The V-Moda LP2, which is worse than Beats Studios, cost $60 less than the 2013 Studios.

I don't think the Beats Studios are overpriced anymore. They improved the sound quality. The fit and comfort of the Studios is amazing. The only downside to the Studios is that they leak sound. If Beats can fix that, then they will have some very competitive headphones for the price.

Are you interested in noise cancelling headphones? If so, the Bose QC15 is the best on the market. Otherwise, I'd recommend a pair of MadDogs or VMODA M100s

I've got a pair of V-Moda M100s (http://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-Crossfade-Over-Ear-Noise-Isolating-Headphone/dp/B00A39PPCG)

If I were to buy the BoomPro Mic (http://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-BoomPro-Gaming-Headset-Headphone/dp/B00BJ17WKK) and attach it to my headphones, can I just plug that end into the stereo adapter for chat and game audio?

Thank you, I just wanted to know before I bought anything.

Vmoda, made from metal and are very durable. Ive had my Vmoda Crossfade M-100 since February 2016 and they are still solid.

They also have an “Immortal life program” that allows you to send your headphones in to them for a huge discount on a new pair. For example Im thinking of eventually sending mine in for a discount on one of the new wireless headphones they offer.

Highly recommend!

u/PurpleFlurp16 · 2 pointsr/boardsofcanada

I've always enjoyed them on my V-Moda (the m100 model) headphones. they're pretty great headphones overall if you are willing to put forth the money.

Vs far as over the ears goes the VMODA headphones are fantastic. They sound great cables are detachable and the headphones collapse into almost a ball. The band is strong enough to stay on while exercising.

The price point is a little high but these things are bullet proof. I throw them in my bag without their case and they are always perfect.

u/unicorn_impaler · 2 pointsr/childfree

Often not even my headphones can block out the little hell spawns. I have some really nice v moda crossfade m100's and they are by far the best I've had to date. Now, I go on long international flights probably twice a year, once to South Africa to visit the bnb my parents own and to enjoy being there or whatever. The second Australia in December to visit family. The former takes about 6-7 hours from Abuja to Johannesburg, and the latter is I think 8 hours from Abuja to Dubai, then 14 hours from Dubai to Perth or wherever we decide to first in Australia. Now, since all those flights are relatively long, and we often leave during the holiday, you can imagine that those flights would be packed with families going off to Dubai and(less often) South Africa. So, I my headphones do have noise isolation and work quite well, I love using them wherever I go, but not even these things, as close to the acceptable(healthy, whatever you want to call it) limit as possible, can drown out the noise of a few of these hellspawns screaming/crying. So I have to often endure that for 6+ hours and honestly I feel like kicking them in the face, baby, toddler, whatever. Sorry for the small essay :D

u/BootlegV · 2 pointsr/Beatmatch

I have gone through quite a few headphones and I would not recommend the Technicas.

These remain to be one of the best headphones I currently have, and for the price, I'd say unbeatable.

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR7506-Professional-Diaphragm-Headphone/dp/B000AJIF4E/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t

They come close to matching my VModa Crossfade M100's, but if you ever get the $ for some truly great headphones, the VModa CM100 is amazing.

u/Capolan · 2 pointsr/BuyItForLife

save a bit more and get a pair of M50 Audio Technica. I'm not a huge AT fan, but those are really good. If you don't mind "open" headphones - Grado SR60i is the headphone to beat in that price range. Grados are awesome but they are "open" and others can hear your headphones...

save EVEN more and check into some Sennheiser 25 1 II -- the number 1 DJ headphone on the planet, and fully replaceable everything.

Save more than that and you are in a whole new price point where there are tons of choices. after senn 25 1 II I really like what I have at work - Vmoda M100. Serious bass, and they sound incredible.


Headphones are a tricky one because, it can get CRAZY expensive very quickly. There are headphones in the 1000s of dollars...so it comes to "what do you want to spend"

you can often find good buys on those 25 1 II -- and those are very good. The M50 - also excellent. Weirdly enough the unit that is a step up from the 25 1 II, the Amperior - the older model (the blue caps) is selling for less than the 25 1 II. if you see the amperior cheaper, and you want the 25 1 II, get the amperior.

I would say this: if you have the money for the Marshalls, wait a bit longer and save more to get a much better pair.

I've been looking for a decent price replacement for my late Sennheiser HD428's and thought today would be the perfect day to pick one. Problem is there are too many options and its hard to pick one without hearing any of them as sound quality and balance can be subjective.

I'm looking for a closed over the ear headphones that leans heavier on the bass side but hopefully without being too muddy or distorted, though I realize I have to sacrifice some sound quality in the mids and highs to get the bass I want. I'm looking to spend no more than $200. From the recommendations Google doc on the sidebar I've narrowed my search to Vmoda Crossfade M100, Sennheiser Urbanite XL, or AudioTechnica ATH-WS99.

Basically I'm just looking to see if anyone has any experience with these headphones and can offer and suggestions.

Hey OP, I was looking through amazon I found this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00A39PPCG/

Third listing down: Amazon Warehouse: $168.71

I know it's more than you were planning on spending but they're really sturdy phones. Try to hold out for a sale.

u/NINJAM7 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I got the vmoda m100 on sale through Amazon for $150, although it looks like the price went up again. Absolutely love them. Plus you can get a mic for them. Recommend getting the thicker cushions though. Also, you'll want to either get a decent sound card or DAC if you haven't already.

u/BananasApeUnicorn · 1 pointr/headphones

I agree. Yet, they are a bit above his budget. OP should go here and the M100 is selling for $70 off used which should be the best pick.

u/sitdownandtalktohim · 1 pointr/headphones

Not sure if this is tech support related or deserves its own thread, but posting here first just in case.

I bought a pair of https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A39PPCG/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 last year and recently the left headphone doesn't play audio unless I have the chord half plugged in, if its fully plugged in I only get audio in the right ear.

I went on amazon.com to check warrenty and it says its expired, despite it being less than a year old. Do they not have a one year? I tried checking through amazon but got no information, and the seller is Amazon Export LLC.

Also I live in Canada, bought from .com because black friday deal was so good. Am I screwed or is there an option to fix this? I checked google but most sites, including VMODA, say to send it to buyer but I can't get an option to do that on Amazon.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. :)

u/FatS4cks · 1 pointr/headphones

V-moda m-100 seem like a good fit. You can get larger earpads if the stock ones are too small. And they also have a removable cable so you can get a mic if you really want.

Sony MDR-1A are also a decent option, it's a pain in the ass with the mic compared to the other headphones around the same price though.

Audio Technica ATH-MSR7 are also pretty good and can also fit a mic like the m-100.

Audio Techica ATH-WS1100iS are a cheaper alternative to the MSR7 with a different sound signature and can also fit the mic.

u/longrodvonhuttendong · 1 pointr/WoahTunes

Amazon seems to have them on a slight sale. But to get the custom shields with your order at the same time I would do their main site. They are free to get and if you want more you order more.

u/Immiscible · 1 pointr/headphones

Ah, I think i have the perfect headphone. The V-Moda M100 is a very bassy headphone that is also quite good. Here's a review from a very reputable headphone reviewer. I think they'd be perfect for you.

u/The_Rick_14 · 1 pointr/DestinyTheGame

I think it all comes down to the padding in the ear cups. I've been using V-MODA Crossfade m100s for a year and a half now. Every now and then they drop to $150 and the microphone cable (boom mic) is around $30. I just plug them right into the bottom of the controller.

The padding on them is comfortable that they'll fit snug but won't force the glasses into the side of your head.

u/easycheessy · 1 pointr/BuyItForLife

I have these Vmoda's and these are off the chart good. I use them about 2hrs a day and can say nothing but good things about them.

u/QuipA · 1 pointr/headphones

JVC HA-SZ 1000

Beyerdynamic usually has outstanding build quality only matched by very few companies. Breaking a COP three times could indicate that you are seriously handling headphones incorrectly.

If you are willed to up your budget: V-Moda M-100

u/InigoMontoya47 · 1 pointr/headphones

I love my MadDogs by Mr. Speakers

They are a mod of the Fostex T50RP, here's a good review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCIRlC_TSrQ

Some say they require an amp, I bought a small FiiO E12 which is small and portable, but it's not required to get them up to a good listening volume. I listen to everything from Rap/Hip-hop to EDM to Classical on these guys, had them 2 years. Might upgrade to the Alpha's soon.

If you want more of a lifestyle headphone, I'd go with something like the Sennheiser Momentum or the VMODA M100

People also rave about the Beyerdynamic DT 770, someone else will have to weigh in on those, I've never heard them. I hear they are on the bassier side, but not overwhelming. Not sure what Ohm option will suit you best, so do some research on that if you're interested in those cans.

Finally, if you want to go cheaper, bought these for my buddy last year to use as office cans, I'm pretty sure he just never takes them off. Very neutral sound, light, but durable, I love them but my ears stick out and touch the drivers which gets irritating after a while. Part of the reason I went with mad dogs is there's plenty of room for my Dumbo sized satellite dishes.

Good luck.

u/wilder782 · 1 pointr/xboxone

The vmoda mic can work with the m50x headphones, but it requires a little bit of modification to get it to work. It will not work with the k550's, but they do have a inline mic so that might work, but I'm not sure. The momentum 2.0 does have a detachable cable, but it looks like you will need a 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female adapter. A suggestion that I have that would work no with the mic without problems are the Vmoda m100's. I am not too knowledgable on this but I suggest heading over to /r/headphones as they will be much more helpful.

u/JayIkalima · 1 pointr/MusicBattlestations

Let me just give you of my favourite pairs for studio use.

My first and foremost personal recommendation go out to the V-Moda Crossfade M-100's. They're a bit more bass heavy and just about on the upper limit of your budget, but they look amazing, sound amazing, and are tough as nails.

My second favourite pair of headphones would be the Sol Republic x Calvin Harris Master Tracks XC. Again, another bass-heavy pair, but this set is fully modular; everything is replacable, and again, tough as knobs. The frame doesn't fold, though.

My third favourite pair are the Sony MDR-V06. These have been an industry standard for a little while and are relatively older, but they're relatively lower cost, easier to find, and the earcups are replacable. Treble-heavy more than anything, but a great pair still.

Fourth place goes to Sennheiser's HD-25-II's. A bit tight around the head, but one of the most balanced. Tough, modular, and really made for studio work.

u/aydiosmio_eseldiablo · 1 pointr/headphones

Apologies for wall of text, and thank you so much to whoever helps me out!

Budget: <$300 (can hover around/slightly above $300)

Source: HTC One, Macbook. I have a FiiO model E06 amp I lost the charger to (can you point me to a charging cable that will work? The amp looks like this).

Isolation/Noise Canceling: I want to use these out and about, so noise isolation (not canceling) is a requirement.

Preferred Type of Headphone: Full Size, Over Ear (Closed), Reasonably Portable. For examples, I'm looking at the [Sennheiser Momentum]
(http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Momentum-Headphone-Brown/dp/B009QV15DU) and VMODA M100. Anything like these.

Importance of aesthetics: Sound is paramount, but I don't want hideous cans on my head. As long as it looks reasonably cool I won't mind. Aim for this, or any of the above examples.


Owned headphones:

  • ATH-M50: loved these but they broke a while back.
  • JVC HA-RX700: nice, inexpensive over ear stereo headphones but are 1.) too bulky and cumbersome for listening outside the home 2.) are open eared.
  • VMODA Crossfade M80: really enjoyed how these sounded. Only problem is I prefer over-ear sets.

    The other pairs I've owned are some inconsequential earbuds.

    Primary Genres: Priority #1 Sorry if I'm assigning these bands to the wrong genres

  • Indie Folk/Pop/Alternative. I guess another example is Phoenix.

  • Pop Punk. A Part of Me by Neck Deep is another song indicative of what I like.

  • Acoustic/Indie Rock/Folk (?) See City and Colour, Hozier, Mumford and Sons, Noah and the Whale, Shakey Graves, Keenan O'Meara, The Head and the Heart, Florence + the Machine, George Ezra, Ben Howard, Lewis Watson, Eric Hutchinson, The Old Hello's, Walk Off the Earth, Noah Guthrie, and more. Kind of a jumbled bunch of artists but I don't know how to differentiate between these. Here's another example.

  • "Singer-Songwriter:" some of the above artists kinda fall in here.
  • Modern Soul/Funk. Also see St. Paul and the Broken Bones.

  • Alternative/Indie Alternative(?): See We Were Promised Jetpacks, Two Door Cinema Club, Bastille...

    Other Genres: These aren't the types of music I listen to very often, and when I do it's usually when I'm working out; therefore, I probably won't be using these headphones anyway.

  • Hip-Hop See Chiddy Bang, Kid Cudi, Lupe Fiasco.

  • Electronic. Pretty much just any chill, synth pop/indie electronic like this. Passion Pit, The XX

    Tonal Balance/Sound Preferences: The takeaway from the genres: not sure. I want a versatile, balanced headphone. No overpowering Bass.

    Thanks a ton for any recommendations you share!
u/avidcritic · 1 pointr/headphones

What is your budget?

I've been using my V-Moda M100s for the past year and they are great. One important thing to note is while the shorter cord (52 inches) they provide you comes with a microphone (attached to the cord), the longer cord which is 79 inches does not come with a mic. I ended up purchasing one separately for VOIP programs.

u/Mlthelasher · 1 pointr/headphones
u/hoteltech · 1 pointr/headphones

New Momentums right at the cusp of your budget.

New V-Moda M100 also at 200 exactly.

If you wait a little bit these go on sale. I got the M-100 in 'Phantom Chrome' for 150 during Black Friday (I know... it's 6 mos. away).

If you check the used for V-Moda on Amazon, there are 'like new' and refurbished for 160 to 180, free shipping.

I would recommend that if you get V-Modas to fork out 20 bucks and get the XL pads. They make a big difference!

u/ChieHasGreatLegs · 1 pointr/razer

Please save your money. I had a pair for about 2 years before they broke after careful use. The audio quality is alright for gaming, but disappointing when listening to music (even in 2.1 mode), the mic is absolutely horrible and the thing is terribly overpriced.

My recommendation would be get a pair of dedicated, high quality, non-gaming headphones like these:
http://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-Crossfade-Over-Ear-Noise-Isolating-Headphone/dp/B00A39PPCG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411943460&sr=8-1&keywords=v-moda

They cost about 80 bucks more, but will last you significantly longer, the audio quality is superb for that price tag, both in gaming and for music, the mic sounds clear like it should and you can test them for a whooping 60 days and still get a full refund if you're unsatisfied.

TL;DR: Don't waste your money on so-called "Gaming headsets"

u/maltawind · 1 pointr/headphones

The M-100 is currently £50 more expensive than the X2 on Amazon.co.uk.

Sound-wise the X2 > M-100. The X2 offers a wider soundstage plus better clarity/detail and imaging accuracy for gaming. You can clearly hear footsteps and gunshots etc. while the M-100 is veiled/muddy in comparison. Plus the X2's bass is less bloated and more impactful.

The X2 offers a lot more bang for the buck. The M-100 is overrated in my opinion.

u/Makegooduseof · 1 pointr/headphones

If you like your bass (nothing wrong with it, mind you), the V-Moda M100 with the XL pads may be up your alley.

https://www.amazon.ca/V-MODA-Crossfade-Over-Ear-Noise-Isolating-Headphone/dp/B00A39PPCG/

I've read numerous posts about how the XL pads make all the difference, and how those should have been included as stock pads to begin with.

u/xrobertrushx · 1 pointr/headphones

Budget - My budget is about $290 dollars

Source - A Samsung Galaxy S5, an Asus ROG laptop, and an Xbox One controller

Requirements for Isolation - I don't need a ton of isolation, although obviously some would be nice.

Will you be using these Headphones in Public? Probably not, maybe rarely

Preferred Type of Headphone - Full sized

Preferred tonal balance - I like the sound to be overall balanced with not too strong treble and a bass that is pronounced but not muddy or overbearing

Past headphones - I currently have a pair of Bose QC15, which are nice for the noise cancelling, but aren't exactly the most incredible sounding headphones in the world. I also have a pair of cheapo JVC earbuds which sound suprisingly nice given they were only $7

Preferred Music - I listen to lots of different kinds of music, but if I had to narrow it down it would be classic rock/rock/metal/etc

What would you like to improve on from your set-up - I want a pair of headphones that sound great (duh) and potentially be used with the mic I have. Right now I think I've narrowed it down between the V-MODA Crossfade M-100s along with the XL Memory Cushions
or the Blue Mo-fi headphones, which are on sale on this website for $270 dollars. The Crossfades seem like a better choice at the moment because I already own the mic, and I don't think the mic would work with the Blue headphones, but the built in headphone amplifier seems pretty nice too.

u/were-worm · 1 pointr/headphones

Oh, I'm so sorry, but I bought it from a third party as Used, Like New. He doesn't have another listing, but there are always new listings being posted under the third party sales. The cheapest like new listing right now is $190 with Prime shipping. Link

u/MRThundrcleese · 1 pointr/buildapc

> this just means I need to turn up the resolution

yep. just set the resolution the the graphics options of whatever game

Hz = the highest fps your display can effectively display. you can run content at a higher or lower frame rate than the monitors Hz but without something like Gsync or Freesync you can see stutters or tears. you can lock your frame rate with vsync but that creates lag(unless you use Gsync too).

if your budget allows for the Gsync I would highly recommend it. IMHO its almost required to make the most out of your hardware
Of these id say Acer(Gsync)>>>>BenQ>Asus

your monitor is an older TN panel. Looks like a decent display, i would for sure hold on to that for a second monitor or something. Looks like you could easily overclock that monitor to 75Hz which is a noticeable difference.

The M50x are great. i personally like V-Moda I have These and These and the LPs are killer

Most games are not cpu bound, especially offline. games like cities skylines will use a lot of cpu because there are a lot of things going on. also online games can use a lot of cpu if there are lots of players online

Its only important if you plan on doing things like overclocking, SLI or Crossfire, etc. I spent a lot of money on my motherboard because it had features i wanted that others didn't. at the time it was the only board that had all the overclocking features and a M.2 slot that was tied to PCIE lanes instead of sata.

Build looks almost perfect. ram sales change every day so unless you are in love with the heat spreaders i would just grab the cheapest 16GB kit of DDR4 2133 or 2400 CAS 15. 2133 or 2400 wont make any difference so just grab whatever is cheapest

These http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00A39PPCG?cache=dde91668e048973cfc07618624a71c9a&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1413028434&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1. They are 289 euro and perfect for your use. If you don't find them comfortable (I find them to be comfortable enough), they have more comfortable replacement earpads. I have these headphones myself.
