V-MODA Crossfade LP Over-Ear Noise-Isolating Metal Headphone (White Pearl)

I love these headphones! I bought these during a sale last year in December (2013). I was looking for headphones to use for just about everything, from my Samsung S4 to using with chat on the PS4. Now when I was buying headphones, I was buying the cheap, but comfortable to use. I bought Maxell and Sony Street design headphones. The Sonys always get destroyed after about 8 months of use, but that is what you get when you purchase headphones below $25.When I was in the market for some really good headphones, I wanted really good well rounded headphones, for my many electronics. I bought these when they were on sale for about $70. Normally these go for about $200, but at the time I was not going to spend the $200 for headphones, when these came down in price I jumped on the opportunity. I used this for about everything. I would prefer to have sound that is purest to the sound, instead of having bass added to these headphones, but you cannot have everything. However, not being a sound aficionado I believe the sound that came from these was more the sufficient for I need them for.What I use these headphones for:- I use them for work and listen to youtube playlists. (Hence, if you are using these for this purpose, probably having the purest sound will not do much if you went with more expensive headphones.)- I use these with chat on Skype, on my Alienware M15x (WARNING: If your computer does not support both microphone and headset with one headphone jack, the cable that comes with the headphones/microphone will not work, unless you have a Y-connector that allows you to split the audio and microphone into two different streams of connections. My Alienware m15 did not have this, so I had to purchase a Y-connector as the microphone and the sound audio where with different jacks.)-Samsung S4, (Works perfectly fine with this android phone either chatting on Skype or regular calls. Though the product page says that the cable with the volume -/+ will not work on androids, only on iPhone/iPad. Which did not bother me.)-PS4 (Make sure you put the connection on the PS4 through the PS4 controller. I use this for PS4 chat on Final Fantasy 14 with keyboard/mouse/controller setup and it works flawlessly.)(ANOTHER NOTE: When I use these for chat I also use the V-Moda Boom Mic for Chatting either on Skype or PS4. You can purchase this from here for about $30. And it work better than the microphone that comes with these headphones.)PRO:-Fantastic Sound what they were worth.-Very good construction and durability.-Allow you to disconnect the cable from the headphones.-Carrying case.-Two cables (3ft other [comes with Volume -/+], I believe, 6ft [ does not come with Volume -/+]-Not much outside sound comes through when you have the headphones at a certain volume.-Noise bleed is fantastic as little to no sound can be heard from the headphone cups.Cons:-It felt a bit uncomfortable for long periods of time, however, when I was gaming or listening to music, adjust the headphones on your head a bit forward and this released the pain. I felt that the headphones would slip down my head. I put the headphones on the smallest setting, as being women my head is not that big. My guy friend tries these on his head, and he said that they were very comfortable. Though, he only had them on for about 15 secs.-The Cables! The cables that tend to come with the headphones, seems to fray after a certain amount of use. Not in fray, that the cable just comes apart, but the fibers protecting the cable frays, which tends to be a bit unsightly for my taste, but I'm cheap, so they work. The product page that these are kevlar, but I see they are very much strong on these cables that come with the headphones, however the fiber surrounding the cable are not. Even the Boom Mic is not protected from the fraying,-COLOR! I thought that these were pure white. Though it said on the webpage pearl white, I looked at the picture and bought these because it looked cool. However, when I received these in the mail it was not the color as pictured. It is not white like the SAMSUNG S4 or white iPhone. SO BEWARE OF THIS COLOR DISCREPANCY! More like the color of necklace pearls.-Price: It always seems that these type of headphones which tends to have a lot of bass to there line, and not have a much purer sound. I listen to mostly classical and movie theme music with orchestra bands. I do listen to rock, pop, and other modern music which is perfect for these headphones, but not for classical or much softer tone music such as piano or violin. BUT! I did not let that deter me from purchasing these over the Ars-Technica headphones. Those headphones seem they have purer sound, but they did not look as cool as these headphones.CONCLUSION: These are perfect for everyday use and chatting (if you have the V-MODA Boom Mic). Listening to music such as rock, pop, nightcore, and others will be perfect for this type of music. Classical not so much, but if you are not a particular on the sound, then these are the perfect headphones for you.

Let me start by saying that I had ordered a lot of stuff over here (Guitars, pedals, cases, other headphones, games, etc) and I never had the need of writting a review about something untill I opened this headphones.This is gonna be a comparison between V-Moda, Street by 50 cents, Beats Studio and Beats Solo. First of all let me say Im not an audiophile or something like that, but I do love to hear music and to get nice quality from my songs to crack me up. 1 year ago I had the need to buy a nice pair of decent cans for my music and also to plug them to my pedal and play my guitar , but I wanted something for less than 150 bucks. A year a go a "lightnig deal" came to SMS street by 50 cents without noice cancelling version for 100 bucks, so I had no time to think about it and i decided to buy them without doin a deep search for other stuff. When I got them, I really liked them, they sounded pretty good, nice price, and I liked the design. I was happy with my purchase, the only thing I didnt liked was that they weren't noice cancelling at all, and I personally enjoyed more some beats solo headphones.2 months ago, some thief brooke my car's window and stole them (my guitar, pedal, and some other stuff as well) around 1000 bucks lost. I didnt had enough money to get everything back, I just had some money for another headphones. So I searched a lot of headphones and saw a lot of reviews and I had to choose between Beats studio (170) audio technica (150) and these headphonesI was about to buy the studios one but changed my mind because of some reviews and the price, so I decided to go for this headphones, and now I can tell you, it was the best Amazon decision ever!When I plugged them, I really noticed the sound difference between my former Street SMS and these amazing headphones. They have deeper bass, and their noice Isolating system is really good. I liked them better than the Beats Solo HD, my cousin has them and this fits more comfortable and almost same sound quality at half price. The Box is really cool, the case is really really Awesome. and these headphones are very well made! they feel like a very solid product unlike Beats plastic sensation.They just have everything. Perfect case, perfect design, perfect bass, perfect sound for a perfect price. I only regret not buying this a year ago. I cant tell you they are better than Audio technica ATM-50 because I havent tried them. But these look way much cooler than the ATM-50These are just the best headphones for an 100 dollar budget, Better than 50 cents Street, better than Beats Solo HD, compared to Beats studio but without batteries. You are buying THE 100 DOLLAR HEADPHONES...you're not gonna regret this ever....V-Moda really know what they where doing.
