First off, I should clarify that I own a number of V-Moda gear, including IEMs, on-ear, over-ear and cables. I have found that their customer service is really outstanding and if you buy a number of different headphones, you know how important this is. I own gear from other manufacturers, including Westone, Audio-Technica, Klipsch, Etamonics and at one point or another, I have had service issues that may require several calls or emails. Not with V-Moda, they get me from my first contact and everything flows just as smoothly from there.
On to the Crossfades M-100, here are a few thoughts:
* Excellent sound presentation, with bass being a little forward but not overly dominant.
* Very easy to drive and sound great without an DAC/Amp and modulate well with EQ settings
* Non-tangle cord, which is wrapped in cloth to insure microphonics and are comfortable when rubbing against you as you move around.
* Comes with "dual" splitter cord that allows you to plug two headphones into one source.
* Allows for plug on the headphones that also allow you to plug in two headphones in and listen to the same source.
* Works for multiple types of music
* Great build quality
* Amazing value when you compare sound, quality, build and look.
Drawbacks, every headphone has them:
* The pads, they are not awful, just not optimal. However, I am picky on pads and have switched a lot of my pads out on various headphones I own.
* Mids are slightly recessed, but I prefer them this way.
Overall, I feel they are oustanding for sound and value, something I find in most of the V-Moda line. I cannot think of a company that gives you more bang for the buck and their customer service is certainly another factor to consider in any purchase.

May I ask how these would compare to the Audio Technica A900X?
